UK • 27 Aug 2026
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet (996) features a desirable Tiptronic transmission and a comprehensive service history, including a significant Hartech engine rebuild. It comes with both a soft top and the optional factory hardtop, making it a compelling proposition for classic 911 enthusiasts.
However, potential buyers should be aware of the car's age and mileage, with minor cosmetic issues such as corrosion on the rear wheel arch and general wear on the trim, indicating that some reconditioning may be necessary.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in good general condition for its age (23 years) and mileage (over 100k). It has some notable cosmetic imperfections, including a small area of corrosion on the passenger rear wheel arch and potential overspray on the nose. The interior and exterior trim show wear appropriate for its age and mileage. The soft top is in good condition, and the optional hardtop is included. Mechanically, it has a significant positive point with a Hartech rebuild addressing bore score concerns. The engine and gearbox are reported to be fault-free, with smooth gear changes. Recent work includes front damper and spring replacement in 2023 and brake line work in March of this year. The ignition key has a minor spring issue, and one key needs a new battery. These factors suggest a car that is functional and well-maintained mechanically, but with visible cosmetic wear requiring some reconditioning, aligning with a 'Good' rating.
