New service for the sale
Elegant colour combination

Twenty years on, the Porsche 996 is no longer the outlier, it’s a rising classic, quietly earning the admiration it always deserved. And this particular 996 Carrera captures everything that makes the model so compelling. Dressed in elegant Arctic Grey, set on Turbo wheels, and signed with a discreet silver Carrera badge on the tail, it exudes a quiet, timeless sophistication, Porsche purity at its best. Inside, deep blue leather blends seamlessly with the electric blue soft top, crafting a cabin that’s as refined as it is inviting. For cooler days? A matching hardtop with fastening covers completes the look.

The vehicle in detail

But the real magic begins before the engine even turns over. Sink into the low-slung seat, grip the four-spoke steering wheel borrowed from the iconic 993, and take in the dashboard crowned by the central rev counter, it’s a cockpit built for true drivers. Twist the key, and the flat-six bursts into life with a raw, unfiltered soundtrack that speaks directly to the soul. No turbo lag, no screens, no artificial filters, just mechanical honesty and unadulterated pleasure. This is driving in its purest form.

Originally delivered new to Germany by the Porsche Center in Göppingen, this 996 Cabriolet began its life in caring hands. It later made its way to Italy, where two dedicated owners maintained it meticulously until 2011. From there, it crossed the Alps to France, where it found stability and affection: just two owners over the next chapter of its life, the most recent of whom cherished the car for over twelve years. Driven only for the pure joy of it, and maintained with unwavering attention, this 996 has lived a life of quiet passion.

With only four owners from new, its history is as clear as it is reassuring. This isn’t just a car that’s been preserved; it’s one that’s been loved.

Naturally, it carries a few subtle traces of time, gentle signs of a life well lived. A touch of patina on the leather, a whisper of use on the exterior, nothing more than the honest wear of a Porsche that’s been enjoyed respectfully. Mechanically, however, it’s in excellent form. The flat-six runs with smooth confidence, the gearbox clicks into gear with precision, and every drive feels alive, balanced, and rewarding. It’s a true 996, uncomplicated, authentic, and ready for both daily thrills and weekend escapes.
