The Appeal

There’s a strong case to argue that if you want a sports car, then the 996 is all the sports car that you’ll ever need. Reliable, comfortable, well-built and with that classic shield on the bonnet, it is extremely usable and highly rewarding while you do it.

Key to the 996’s appeal is the vast array of models. But as reviewers are increasingly pointing out, the Carrera really does it all. On later cars, as here, the 3.6L flat six is good for 320bhp, and with a convertible roof and Tiptronic box, you’ve got the weather and long distances covered.

This tidy, low-mileage 2002 Carrera is classically finished in silver with grey leather and black alloys. We’re told that it is a matching numbers example with clean Carfax history. It looks well specified and in good order.
