The Appeal

The 996-generation 911 Convertible pairs the characterful 3.4-litre water-cooled flat-six with an engaging open-top driving experience. Manual examples are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts, making this six-speed car a notable find.

This Black (Schwarz) example was delivered new through Champion Porsche in Pompano Beach, Florida, in April 2001 and retains its original window sticker. It was well-specified from the factory with options including 18-inch Turbo Look alloy wheels, Litronic xenon headlights, the Power Seat Package, Digital Sound Package, a three-spoke leather sports steering wheel, on-board computer, wind deflector, and a remote six-disc CD changer.

The car benefits from a documented service history with stamped service books and records from specialists across Florida, Arizona, and California. Notable mechanical work over the years includes two clutch replacements, a water pump, front struts, oil pan gasket, and a rear main seal. Most recently, it underwent a maintenance inspection and was detailed in January 2025 at 136,706 miles.

Now imported into the Netherlands with EU duties and VAT paid, this well-documented 996 Convertible is ready for its next keeper.
