Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
The 996 offers a well-engineered and accessible route into 911 ownership, delivering a genuinely engaging and capable driving experience.
Practicality, reliability, and solid build quality are not typically associated with sports cars. However, for over 64 years, the Porsche 911 has become synonymous with thoughtful ergonomics, durability, and craftsmanship, making a compelling case as a sports car that delivers both excitement and everyday usability.
The 996 marked the first generation of water-cooled 911, quickly finding an enthusiastic audience. Not only did it reinforce the 911’s enduring appeal, but it also played a key role in Porsche’s commercial success at the time. Redesigned from the ground up, it featured a cleaner, more modern interior while retaining the iconic 911 silhouette. It also proved more robust, more cost-effective to maintain, and introduced a range of then state-of-the-art technologies.
This 2000 convertible is a rear-wheel-drive example, powered by a 3.4-litre flat-six engine producing close to 300 bhp. It comes to market following just under ~3 years of ownership with the our vendor and is finished in 'Arctic Silver Metallic' over a black leather interior.
The car is accompanied by an impressive history file, including 12 service stamps and a comprehensive folder of invoices dating back to new. It has an MOT valid until March 2027, was most recently serviced in March 2026, and is supplied with two keys.
This listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Kris the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
