Highlights

Matching numbers engine
Dry-climate California car – the vendor states the underside is rust-free
Accident-free according to Carfax report
All EU import duties and VAT fully paid; located in the Netherlands

The Appeal

The 996-generation 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet pairs Porsche's first water-cooled flat-six with all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox – a combination that delivers an analogue driving experience increasingly sought after as later generations became more electronically assisted. As a youngtimer steadily gaining recognition among enthusiasts, the 996 offers a compelling entry point into modern-classic 911 ownership.

This particular example began life in California, where the dry climate has helped preserve the car's structure. It retains its matching-numbers 3.4-litre flat-six producing 300 HP and has since been imported into the Netherlands, with all EU duties and VAT settled. The bodywork has received an older repaint, with paint thickness measuring a consistent 200 microns around the vehicle. EU import documentation, a Carfax report, and two keys are included.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
