The Appeal

When it comes to 911s, specification is key. Whoever filled in the order form for this 997 Cabrio ticked all the right boxes.

Manual gearbox, Sport Chrono Plus, Bose audio, sports exhaust, SportDesign alloys - the list of toys goes on and on... But wait, it gets better. This 911 has been judiciously maintained throughout its life, amassing a huge collection of invoices along the way. Within the last thirteen thousand miles, the Porsche has received fresh spark plugs, ignition coils and valve lift solenoids. It has also had a new water pump, coolant hoses, starter motor, lambda sensor, and sports exhaust. All brake lines have been replaced, as have the front brake front discs.

Open-topped 911s are among the most rewarding to own. Having the roof down adds another dimension to the experience, and thanks to the sports exhaust system, you'll be able to fully appreciate the flat-six bark from this example. Complete with MOT until May, it's ready to go.
