Introduction

As performance-focused as the coupe, the cabriolet adds fresh air to the 911 experience.
A mainstay of the 911 range, the 997 series was designed from the ground up as a cabriolet, resulting in minimal loss of performance or structural integrity. A tribute to Porsche's meticulous engineering approach to every one of their cars, the cabriolet was also only marginally heavier than its tin-top sibling. The soft-top roof lowers in ~20 seconds and can be activated at up to ~30 mph.
Of course, there’s no difference to the coupe when it comes to driving the 997; the 3.8-litre engine offers genuine supercar performance, yet it can be driven as a daily driver. Its sensible ergonomics and well-placed controls lend themselves to a practical and plush experience, with the promise of fun and dynamic handling.
Coming from almost three and a half years with our vendor, this 2006 Carrera S Cabriolet is finished in the desirable Seal Grey with a grey leather interior. It comes with 13 service stamps and a file of invoices from the UK's most reputable Porsche specialists, which includes an engine rebuild and a new clutch in 2020 - this included cylinders 4,5,6 being relined and changed IMS. There's been over £16,500 spent since then, on items that are usual hot spots for these cars, e.g. coolant pipes and tandem pump. The car has also had just three previous keepers and it comes with two keys, a full owner's wallet, an MOT to June 2026 and was last serviced in July 2025.
If you're in the market for a well looked after Carrera S cabriolet with its engine future proofed from known issues, then this could be the car for you.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting David the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
