Description

Few modern classics offer quite the breadth of appeal of the Porsche 911 (993), the final air-cooled generation, combining traditional Porsche character with timeless styling and genuine everyday usability. This Carrera 2 Cabriolet is finished in desirable Lapis Blue over a grey interior and equipped with Porsche's Tiptronic automatic transmission. Supplied new by Carrs Porsche to UK specification, this well-appointed example benefits from desirable factory options including 17-inch Cup alloy wheels, cruise control, a graduated green-tinted windscreen and luggage compartment cooling.

Importantly, the car has enjoyed just two owners from new, with the current vendors late father-in-law acquiring it in 2002. The history file records main dealer servicing with Porsche Exeter through to 2006, when the car had covered approximately 42,000 miles. Today, the odometer reads just over 50,000 miles, giving this example an appealing combination of both low mileage and long-term ownership.

Presented in generally very smart condition, the grey interior remains excellent and the hood is also in superb condition. There is some corrosion developing around the lower passenger-side section of the windscreen, an area known to require attention on 993s, together with a couple of minor scuffs to the bumpers. These points aside, this is an attractive and usable 993 with clear scope for further improvement by its next custodian. More recently, the fuel system has been flushed and a new fuel pump fitted in 2025, meaning the car is now running and ready to enjoy. It also benefits from an MoT test certificate valid until June 2027.

With its air-cooled 3.6 litre flat-six, rear-wheel drive, Tiptronic transmission, attractive colour combination, desirable specification and long-term ownership, this Carrera 2 Cabriolet represents an increasingly sought-after modern classic. Offered without reserve, it presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine 50,000-mile 993 Cabriolet with plenty of enjoyment to offer. Consigned by Fraser Smith
