1998 Porsche 996 Carrera Cabriolet

£14,995.00

This is a lovely, well-maintained example of a Porsche 996 Carrera Cabriolet with manual transmission. It is finished in timeless Arctic Silver Metallic with a full Metropole leather and five-spoke 18inch alloy wheels.

The Porsche has a good history, with just four owners from new. An invoice for over £2700 in 2016 (the car’s only done 1000 miles since) shows an array of work including a rear suspension refresh, air-conditioning overhaul, a service, gearbox oil change and brake fluid change. In 2019, the 911 was treated to a major service, handbrake overhaul and various small jobs at an addition cost of over £1500. Two new rear tyres have just been fitted as well.

This 911 has a good specification, including heated hard-backed Sports seats (which are superbly comfortable), cruise control (which is rare on 996s), traction control, headlamp washers, folding wind deflector and headlamp washers. An attractive £600 upgrade is a Pioneer Apple CarPlay system, which links to an iPhone to give satellite navigation, music streaming, Siri access to messages and much more, plus FM/AM radio and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

Philip Raby says: “Good early Porsche 996s are hard to find, so we delighted to acquire this lovely example. They are refreshingly simple cars and drive so well – a true modern classic The Cabriolet roof is ideal for all-year round use. The Apple CarPlay complements a modern iPhone perfectly, too.”
