The Appeal

As the 996 quite rightly attracts renewed enthusiast interest, certain models are starting to stand out. The C4S is absolutely one of them, thanks largely to generously borrowing from the Turbo’s armoury, including the wide body, suspension and brakes. With 315bhp on tap this surefooted AWD car has all the power you need for real-world motoring.

Finished in classic ‘triple black ’, this smartly C4S adds a convertible roof and a versatile Tiptronic 5-speed box to its appeal. It also comes with a rare matching hard top. Crucially, it benefits from over £7,000 of recent expenditure addressing the most common concerns associated with the M96 engine alongside broader mechanical refurbishment. This work included IMS and RMS replacements plus attention to the steering, suspension and brakes. We are told that it was last serviced around 1,000 miles ago. The car is sold with a new MOT

This is a smartly specified and well-presented example of these hugely capable and increasingly appreciated cars.
