1996 | Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

• Delivered new in France
• Full history
• Beloved 4S
• Timeless silver over black interior
• Comes with double keys, service booklet and invoices

Marking the end of the water-cooled era of Porsche 911, the 993-generation replaced the outgoing 964-generation in 1994 and remained in production through 1998. Boasting the wider bodywork of the Turbo with a naturally aspirated engine and four-wheel drive, the Carrera 4S hit a sweet spot with many enthusiasts, benefitting from the 285-hp Carrera S engine along with the added practicality and confidence of four-wheel drive.

THIS 993

This well-preserved and attractively presented Porsche 993 Carrera 4S is equipped with a desirable manual gearbox and was originally delivered to the French market. It is accompanied by a comprehensive history file.

Finished in timeless Silver Metallic, this example features a classic and understated specification, with a concise yet well-chosen options list including a sunroof. True to its original specification, the car has been consistently maintained since new. The original service book contains documented dealer stamps, while an extensive collection of invoices and records details its continued care through to the present day.

Delivered new in France, the car spent a brief period in Belgium before returning to France, where it is currently registered. It presents very well throughout and remains a largely unmolested example of its type.

As can be expected from a higher-mileage car, the vehicle has received a full respray in the past. Today, the bodywork shows a deep, even gloss, with all glass and lighting remaining clear and free from cracks or crazing. Minor signs of use are present, including some normal stone chips. These are purely cosmetic and do not detract from the car’s overall presentation. Importantly, the original front and rear panels remain in place and still display their factory stickers / stamps.

Despite the mileage, the interior shows only light signs of use, highlighting both the inherent build quality of the 993 and the care it has received. The seats, door panels, dashboard, switches, and trim all present very well, with only minimal wear visible. The original Becker CDR-21 radio remains fitted, providing period-correct functionality.

The car is accompanied by a substantial file of invoices, and no expense has been spared in recent years. Recent maintenance includes servicing with fluids, double ignition service, new Pirelli tyres, air-conditioning maintenance, and further preventive work.

The final generation of air-cooled 911s has long held “instant classic” status and continues to grow in desirability. For many enthusiasts, the 993 represents the last “true” 911, combining the iconic air-cooled boxer engine with a more refined and usable chassis. This example stands out for its condition, classic configuration, and complete documentation.

The car is supplied with its original leather pouch containing the owner’s manuals and stamped service book, radio card, toolkit, spare wheel, and a comprehensive history file.

Now widely regarded as a modern collectible, the 993 offers the perfect balance between classic Porsche character and everyday usability. This well-kept and honest example is ready for its next custodian and would appeal equally to a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector. A truly versatile modern classic—equally suited to elegant occasions or long summer drives—delivering both sophistication and engaging performance.
