The Appeal

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have noticed that the 996 generation Porsche 911 has been undergoing a major renaissance in recent times. And quite right too. These first of the water-cooled 911s are rightly being recognised as fabulous cars to own, offering usable performance from an age before driver aids and touchscreens took over.
This 2001 Carrera 4 Cabrio has the very thing enthusiasts look out for: a six-speed manual gearbox, allowing you to exploit the full potential of the 3.4-litre flat-six engine and clever all-wheel drive system. The car has covered 92,625 miles and is described by the vendor as being in very good overall condition. Recently serviced and holding an advisory-free MOT, it presents a straightforward proposition for its next keeper.
