The Appeal
The 996 generation marked a significant turning point in Porsche 911 history, introducing water cooling to the iconic flat-six engine. This 2004 Carrera Convertible represents the desirable facelift model, benefiting from the enlarged 3.6-litre engine producing 320 horsepower and the refined styling updates that addressed earlier criticisms.
This particular example offers an impressive specification, delivered new to California where it remained until its recent import to the Netherlands in 2023. The Arctic Silver Metallic paintwork is complemented by a comprehensive options list, and the car comes complete with its original window sticker confirming its delivery price of $79,165. With all import duties and VAT already paid, this 996 Convertible now just needs to be registered for the European network and returned to the road.
