Description
Three owners from new, the
current for 14 years; 6-speed manual; Varioram intake system; extensive history
file; a gorgeous 993 in the launch colour of Arena Red
Metallic
This is a beautifully
maintained 1996 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera, presented in classic launch colour
Arena Red Metallic paired with full Black leather and the highly desirable
6-speed manual transmission.
With only three keepers in
total and long-term ownership since June 2011, this example offers a rare chance
to acquire an increasingly sought-after air-cooled 911 from the final generation
before Porsche’s transition to water-cooled engines.
First registered in
the UK in August 1996, this Carrera is powered by a later 3.6-litre flat-six
Varioram intake system engine (the more desirable option). The car features a
two-door coupe body style with rear-wheel drive on a rigid two-axle
setup.
This 993 comes equipped with
several desirable factory options, including a rear wiper, a top-tinted
windscreen, air conditioning, a third brake light and an electric sunroof. These
additions enhance both practicality and comfort while maintaining the pure
driving character that defines the 993.
The car presents very well for
its age, with the paint retaining strong depth and the bodywork showing the
iconic curves that make this generation so cherished. The cabin benefits from
air conditioning and the smooth, mechanical feel of the six-speed gearbox adds
to the engaging driving experience that only an air-cooled 911 can
deliver.
Included with the car are
three large history files containing 20 old MOT certificates, 16 service stamps
and numerous invoices and receipts documenting maintenance and
refurbishment—clear evidence of long-term, conscientious
ownership.
The current mileage is
126,041, which is supported by the service history and DVLA MOT records. The
most recent MOT, expiring in September 2026, was issued with no advisories, and
the car has accumulated barely any advisories over the last 20+
years.
The car was driven here over
25 miles and has been starting and driving as expected while being on site,
although there are a couple of minor age-related marks, but these do not detract
from how beautiful this car looks.
This is an excellent
opportunity to secure a highly desirable 993 Carrera with low ownership, a
timeless factory specification and the reassurance of long-term careful
stewardship. It is ideal for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone seeking a
well-preserved example of one of Porsche’s most iconic
models.
PLEASE NOTE: The private plate
shown is being retained by the vendor and the car will revert to its original
registration number, P266 LLP, prior to the sale.
