Description

Porsche's 993-generation 911 was introduced in 1993, replacing the 964 generation, and signalled a major step forward for Porsche's signature model as the 21st Century approached. Often regarded as the best 911 produced, the 993 was the final generation powered by the air-cooled flat-six engine that had been the 911's calling card for the previous thirty years, before Porsche pivoted towards water cooling. All models in the 993 range were available with rear-wheel drive and a Tiptronic four-speed transmission, first introduced in the 964 generation. Like the other 911s before it, the 993 was offered in a number of specifications during its production life, with owners able to tailor the famously usable sports car to their lifestyle.

Finished in an attractive shade of metallic blue, this 993 Cabriolet is equipped with the desirable Tiptronic transmission, offering the convenience of automatic operation alongside manual gear selection via steering-wheel controls. This allows the driver to enjoy swift, seamless gear changes when a more engaging driving experience is desired. Combined with the convertible roof, this is a true sports car, perfect for summer jaunts in the country, or cruising through the Continent. This example has covered a mere 52,000 miles - it's rare for a 911 to have seen such few miles - having been dry-stored and kept under cover by the current vendor as part of a collection that includes several other 993 models. The metallic paintwork retains an excellent finish, complemented by smart alloy wheels and a well-preserved leather interior. Under the rear decklid, the celebrated air-cooled flat-six engine performs exactly as one would hope, delivering the distinctive character for which the 993 is so highly regarded. What's more, the engine is Porsche's desirable VarioRam flat-six, introduced for the last few years of production and resulting in a 15% increase in power over earlier models. This low-mileage and well-cared-for 993 Cabriolet presents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the finest examples of the last air-cooled Porsche 911. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
