The arrival of this attractive Midnight Blue metallic 996 convertible feels, in many ways, like the answer to most classic motoring questions. It is both pointable and engaging backroad toy and smooth, relaxing open top convertible. 

With just 68,000 miles from new it is in very good condition. It is a later 996 with the upgraded 3.6L flat six engine that gained more power, and there is a desirable 6spd manual gearbox to keep things engaging. The current keeper acquired it last year and has always kept it in a dry, carpeted garage. And you can see why from the photos - it is in very good condition. 

The maintenance records are equally impressive. The extensive history file includes recent IMS bearing replacement and upgrade and work to the brakes. The MOT runs to April 2026 with no advisories. 

In great mechanical condition and a particularly appealing colour colour scheme, this is a well specified and very tempting 996.
