1995 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA
3.6 CABRIOLET | 82,000 miles |
They don't make these any more…..This Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet is a very smart example of the last air-cooled 911 model, presented in good order following substantial refurbishment by the current owner over the last two years. It is powered by the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing around 272bhp, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates 82000 miles from new. First registered in August 1995 the car was specified in the elegant colour scheme of Polar Silver with a primary interior hue of Marble Grey paired with Midnight Blue. The bodywork is in superb condition, with straight panels and even gaps throughout. The front end has recently has a great fresh coating of paint to rectify stone chips that have collected over the years and presents beautifully today. It is understood to have been fitted from new with the TechArt front splitters, the discreet rear wing, and TechArt exhaust system. Its dark blue fabric hood is in great shape, fitted over a mechanism that has recently been completely replaced to ensure it works perfectly. The soft top has no damage, and now fits perfectly. There is a black fabric tonneau cover to protect the soft top when folded down. All of the light lenses are in good condition. The car rides on 17-inch ‘Cup II’ alloy wheels, which are perfect after being dipped and re powder coated in December 2021. Inside, there is Marble Grey leather trim for the electrically adjustable seats, door cards, gear lever and handbrake lever; paired with Midnight Blue leather for the dashboard panels and door caps. In June 2020 and august 2021, this car was treated to a mechanical overhaul by specialist MLR Porsche, in order to ensure it was running and driving superbly. Both door membranes and top end trims were replaced to make the roof fit perfectly, and the complete hood mechanism was renewed. The offside drop glass, rail and quarter glass frame were all replaced to ensure the 911 door close sound is perfect - and both sides now shut with a solid and satisfying noise. An anti-corrosion treatment was applied to the fuel pipes, and the underside was protected with Waxoyl in 2020, the car also received a full service, in 2020 and 2021 with renewal of two filters, and replacement of the oil with the recommended Mobil 1 lubricant. The geometry of the car has also been reset with four-wheel alignment, and it runs and drives very well indeed. Drive shafts and boots have been replaced. The wheels are shod in Porsche-approved Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres in size 205/50 ZR17 at the front and 255/40 ZR17 at the rear. Accompanying the car is the original leather document wallet, containing all of the original books including the stamped warranty and maintenance record. There are 13 stamped services, and two further recent visit evidenced by invoices. Under the boot carpet is the space-saver spare wheel, tyre inflator, and tools. This Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet is a wonderful open-top sports car, which benefits from the timeless pairing of an air-cooled flat-six with a slick manual gearbox. It is a highly original and unmolested car, which has been mechanically sorted, and which represents a compelling prospect for enjoying the wind through your hair (if you’ve got any).
