1997 Porsche 911 (993) Cabriolet Tiptronic

Background:
The 993-generation 911, introduced in 1994, represented the final evolution of Porsche’s air-cooled era and is widely regarded as one of the marque’s most beautifully engineered and timeless models. Retaining the traditional flat-six configuration, it benefited from multi-link rear suspension and refined aerodynamics, offering both improved ride quality and stability. For many enthusiasts, the 993 remains the perfect blend of classic design and modern usability, marking the end of an iconic chapter in Porsche’s history.

The Car:
This C16-code, UK-market 911 Carrera Cabriolet is presented in the striking combination of Ocean Blue metallic with a colour-coded dark blue convertible hood, over a contrasting Marble Grey leather-trimmed interior and matching dark blue floormats. It has been comprehensively restored inside and out to an excellent standard and has been maintained, garaged and used sparingly.

Power comes from the naturally aspirated 3.6-litre VarioRam air-cooled flat-six, producing 282 hp and driving the rear wheels through a four-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with steering wheel shift buttons.

It rides on 18-inch ‘Turbo Twist’ alloy wheels with coloured Porsche-crested centre caps and black brake callipers, fitted with new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The factory specification includes air conditioning, lowered suspension, an on-board computer, immobiliser and electrically adjustable seats.

Upgrades include xenon headlights and a Blaupunkt DAB stereo head unit.

The car is offered with its original owner’s book pack, a comprehensive service history, Porsche Heritage Certificate, original toolkit, spare wheel, two keys and master immobiliser fob.
