1994 PORSCHE 911 (993) CARRERA 2

KEY FACTS

• A handsome example of the desirable modern classic sports car, presented in an appealing factory colour scheme and with low mileage from new.
• Under the engine lid is the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six, which sends 272bhp to the rear wheels via a four-speed Tiptronic transmission.
• Delivered new to Japan, this 1994 911 Carrera was exported to the UK and registered with the DVLA in September 1998, and was acquired by the seller in 2017.
• The car’s odometer stood at 72,000 km when imported in 1998, and a miles-per-hour speedometer was then fitted, which now stands at 55,647 miles – so the cumulative mileage from new is approximately 100,400 miles.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 993-generation Carrera is finished in the appealing hue of Iris Blue with Classic Grey leather upholstery.
• Equipment includes an electric sunroof, electrically adjustable front seats and air conditioning.
• It rides on the correct set of 17-inch ‘Cup II’ alloy wheels, which are shod in Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres, and are in great shape.
• This 911 is entirely original and unmodified, save for its replacement Sony radio/CD changer controller.
• The car will be supplied with its correct handbooks and stamped service book.
• Accompanying the car is a comprehensive service history file, with all invoices and MOT certificates dating back to 1998.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage, however the rear bumper has previously been replaced as the original was dented while the car was parked.
• The Iris Blue paintwork is believed to be original apart from this, and is in good condition, with various light scratches and small stone chips.
• Inside, the cabin is very smart overall, with some wear on the driver’s seat bolsters and small blemishes on the rim of the steering wheel, the automatic gear selector, and the handbrake grip.
• The air conditioning system does not currently function, but otherwise there are no known electrical or mechanical faults with the vehicle.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 26 September 2020 at 54,695 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with no warnings or advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 993 Carrera’s most recent routine maintenance was a fluid, engine oil and filter change, which was carried out in August 2021 at 55,592 miles by Porsche specialist Nine Excellence.
• Prior to this, Nine Excellence regassed the air conditioning system in June 2020 when a tyre puncture was also repaired, and performed a 12,000-mile service in September 2018 at 49,225 miles, as well as replacing the air conditioning condenser.
• The car has required little additional maintenance during the seller’s ownership, though the battery was replaced in June 2021.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 993 Carrera 2 is a sound example of the final air-cooled 911, presented in a wonderful factory colour combination and with low mileage from new.
