The Appeal
Few modern classic convertibles are surely as versatile and as reliable as Porsche’s 996 convertible. Even if you’re not a diehard Porsche fan, these cars make perfect touring cars, and are particularly engaging when fitted, as here, with a manual box.
This is a 2000 USA car that recently arrived in Europe. It carries USA title and Dutch importation paperwork has been paid. Classically finished in silver with dark blue leather interior and matching roof, it features Turbo Twist five spoke alloys and is reported to be in good working order.
