Asked to nominate his favourite generation of Porsche 911 during its 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2013, racing driver and journalist Tiff Needell chose the 996 commenting: "This was the model that brought the 911 into the modern world. We finally got rid of the VW pedals and had a chassis that handled in a much more progressive and controllable manner. Not a convert before completely converted after!" Traditionalists may have decried the 996's water-cooled engine and shared Boxster componentry, however, the newcomer's use of a brand-new platform (the 911's first since 1963) meant that it was notably lighter, stiffer and more aerodynamic than its 993 predecessor. Equipped with four-valve cylinder heads, the 996's 3.4-litre engine developed 296bhp and 258lbft (outputs comparable to those of the 993 Carrera RS's 3.8-litre unit). Allied to either six-speed manual or five-speed Tiptronic transmission, the free-revving flat-six enabled the 2+2-seater to sprint to 60mph in 5 seconds and onto 174mph. More ergonomically laid-out and spacious than that of any previous 911, the 996's cabin also boasted a far better HVAC system. Early 3.4-litre 996 cars are increasingly sought after because of their stronger dual row IMS bearings and mechanical throttles.

First registered on 01 April 2001, this stunning 996 Carrera Cabriolet is presented in the ever-popular arctic silver with contrasting black interior, blue soft-top and matching silver hardtop. This particular example boasts an impressive specification including factory optional GT3 style wheels, rear park assist, Porsche CDR22 Bose radio with CD autochanger, climate control, auto-dimming rear view mirror, PASM, electric mirorrs and folding rear seats. After ownership spells in East Sussex and Surrey, the car was purchased in July 2009 by its last owner,a gentleman from Dorset. Over a 13 year ownership, the car was thoroughly enjoyed before being sold to its current owner early this year, who has now decided to compile the majority of his collection into a singularly more valuable vehicle, and so the vehicle is offered for sale today. Now showing only 31,374 warranted miles from new and with an MOT valid until 12 July 2023, this presents a fantastic opportunity for a discerning collector or enthusiast.

Included with the vehicle is a comprehensive history file including the leather bookpack which contains the radio booket, driver’s manual, garuntee and maintenance manual which contains 12 main dealer/specialist stamps, with the most recent in June 2021 at 30,067 miles. Also included is every single MOT certificate from 2005 to current, a large collection of Tax reminders, a significant collection of previous invoices and the V5C document which displays 5 former keepers
