1993 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2

• A lovely, left-hand drive, Carrera 2 that's clearly been well looked after
• Finished in Midnight Blue metallic with a blue leather interior
• Familiar 3.6-litre, 250bhp, flat-six engine, powering the rear wheels only through the automatic gearbox
• Delivered new to Japan and imported to the UK in 2015
• Jaz Porsche did the most recent work in October 2020 at 115,000km (71,457 miles)
• This Tiptronic 964 Carrera 2 is a great example and an excellent entry into 911 ownership.

When the 964 was first brought to market, Porsche were keen to emphasise that, although it was patently still a 911, it was in fact 85% different from the outgoing model. The design featured more integrated bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which was the availability of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc, producing 250bhp, power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Careful attention to the aerodynamics reduced the drag coefficient down to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift, stability and road holding at high speed were greatly improved. A new feature was the retractable spoiler which automatically extended at 50 mph and in addition to seriously increasing downforce, also doubled the volume of cooling air fed into the engine compartment. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, most variants were reputed to be capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of over 160mph.

The delightful Carrera 2 on offer here is a left-hand drive example showing 109,000km (71,457 miles) and is finished in the great combination of Midnight Blue Pearl with a blue leather interior. Believed to be first delivered new to Japan, it was optioned with electric front seats, air con, sunroof delete and sits on 17-inch Cup alloy wheels. An alpine DAB radio and Bluetooth connectivity have been flitted later in its life.

Having arrived on these shores in 2015, the C2 has clearly been well looked after since having visited marque specialists Parr in 2019 and Jaz Porsche in 2020. It's supplied with an MOT until December 2022, the original owners' book pack, spare wheel, tyre compressor, the V5C and various invoices from over the years. This Tiptronic example presents really well in the metal, is reported to drive really well and looks to be an excellent entry into 911 ownership.
