2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Tiptronic S Convertible

Highlights

• Supplied with both a colour-matched hard top and an electric soft top
• Service book containing 13 stamps, supported by documented receipts
• MOT valid until June 2027

The Appeal

The Porsche 996 is rapidly being rediscovered by enthusiasts. Despite upsetting the stiff-standard purists in the Porsche fanbase, the fried-egg headlights and water-cooled engine have now become the perfect pick-up point for the 911, with charismatic performance and ever-timeless comfort at its core.

This example, finished in Basalt Black Metallic over a grey and black leather interior, has been in its current ownership for nearly five years. It comes with a service book containing 13 stamps and a file of documented receipts. The IMS bearing was replaced at 79,000 miles, rectifying a common bugbear - something that will no doubt be welcomed by any prospective buyer.
The vendor states the engine starts immediately and runs well, and that the Tiptronic gearbox shifts smoothly. With a current MOT and both tops in reportedly fine order, this 911 is ready and raring to go. Don't let it pass you by.
