1996 PORSCHE 911 (993) TURBO

KEY FACTS

• A very good example of the last air-cooled, hand-built generation of 911, with a black finish and a sublime Cashmere Beige interior.
• It is powered by the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine producing 402bhp, with four-wheel drive via a six-speed manual gearbox.
• It is presented with very low mileage and was last serviced in July 2021.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 993 Turbo was specified with solid black paintwork, Cashmere beige upholstery, cruise control, a sunroof, the Nokia Digital Sound Processing (DSP) audio system and a six-disc Becker CD changer – though an updated stereo has since been installed.
• Factory equipment also includes air conditioning, and driver and passenger airbags.
• The interior has been customised with carbon dashboard trim strip, carbon surround for the instrument gauges, and alu-look carbon trims for the gear shifter and handbrake grip.
• A set of aftermarket forged Fiske alloy wheels has also been fitted, along with a new set of Continental Extreme Contact tires.
• Several pages of service records will be included in the sale. The factory build sticker remains in place under the hood.
• Accompanying the car is the original space-saver spare wheel, tool roll and jack.

CONDITION

• Its black paintwork is in excellent overall condition.
• Inside, some creasing and minor discolouration can be seen on the front seats, but there is no major wear or damage, in line with the low mileage. The rear seats have obviously seen far less use.
• No electrical faults have been detected.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in July 2021 at 61,548 miles, where technicians repaired various small oil leaks, before replacing the turbocharger charge hoses, tyres, recharging the air conditioning system, and cleaning the intercooler and related lines.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 993 Turbo is a great example of the last hand-built 911, with a powerful air-cooled flat-six and a slick manual gearbox. Fresh from a recent service, it would make a discerning addition to any assembly of the marque’s most sought-after sports cars, and is ready to thrill on the road.
