Introduction
Paul Wright
Sophisticated, stylish, blisteringly fast, and always ready to drop its top for a spot of wind in the hair motoring.
The Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced at the turn of the century in 2000, coming from the factory with a staggering ~420bhp coupled to an all-wheel-drive system that could reliably and quickly put the power down. As a result, the Turbo quickly became a popular sports car and had no difficulty upholding the reputation of the 911. Alongside its performance figures, the 911 Turbo benefited from the comfort and practicality of Porsche's German engineering, making it a well-rounded car that could be enjoyed and appreciated by all.
Not only did the turn of the century bring us the Turbo’s improved horsepower and all-wheel-drive system, but it also introduced a complete redesign for the vehicle, with smoother body lines, a longer nose, and a significantly lighter chassis that was ~45% stiffer than its predecessor. All of this combined to represent a considerable milestone in Porsche’s history, with some marking the introduction of the 996 Turbo as the beginning of the Porsche everyday supercar age.
Coming to the market after ~6 years ownership is this lovely 2005 911 Turbo Cabriolet, which has been well-maintained and just received refurbished turbos fewer than ~3,000 miles ago. It comes with a current MOT valid until 04.06.2025.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Francisco the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Ask Owner
I note from previous MOT that all brake discs are “worn, pitted or scored “ and “ brake discs significantly and obviously worn”, clearly all four brake discs require replacement but cannot see where this has been carried out, could you please clarify
I checked with the mechanic the comments at the time and basically is the typical rust from the car not being used even considering that the car is stores in a garage (do not ask me why but every Porsche I have seen shows similar rust in the discs), the discs are not worn at all or in need of replacement soon as you can see in the photos they do not have any marks and as soon as you use the car the rust goes away..a complete set of brembo pads and sebro dics (which are the original supplier to Porsche) cost around £600 and I would have not hesitated to replace them if it would have been required..if nothing else because the specialist is 45 mins away and going back means spending 1/2 day
