For sale is an exceptionally configured 997 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (model year 2006, first registered in December 2005 with the improved IMS bearing) featuring the coveted 6-speed manual transmission.
If you’re looking for a run-of-the-mill black or silver automatic 911, you’ve come to the wrong place. This vehicle was delivered in the Manufacture color Dark Olive Metallic through the exclusive “Paint to Sample” (PTS) program. In the shade, the paint appears as a deep, elegant black—but when direct sunlight hits the body, a breathtaking olive-green metallic effect unfolds.
To complement this, the exterior has been coordinated with the original fabric soft top in Dark Brown Cocoa. The interior impresses with the Porsche special color Cocoa, including extended leather upholstery and the fantastic seats.
Despite its honest mileage of 192,000 km, the vehicle is in good, well-maintained condition both visually and mechanically. Engine service records available. No engine over-revving.
