1993 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Factory Turbo-Body Cabriolet

Built for the German market and first registered on 05/03/1993 to Porsche Zentrum Hamburg, this left-hand drive 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet was factory fitted with the Turbo body and consequently is very rare, “sehr selten” as they say in Germany. It's an 'all original, matching numbers & stickers' car that was enjoyed by two owners in Germany before being purchased in 1998 by its one UK owner, our vendor.

It's rare to get access to such a comprehensive history, so we have decided to list it as our vendor has done; “Bought by the current owner from Porsche Zentrum Hamburg 17/10/1998. Registered in the UK 19/10/1998 (K902 SLY). It was taken abroad by the owner in 2009 (registration WY 97766) and brought back to the UK in 2012 and re-registered on its original number in 2013. The car has 156,887km on the original km/hr speedometer (included in sale items). This had to be changed to a second-hand speedo for UK MOT in 2013 (original reading 83,927ml) and has subsequently done 8,000 miles. See service documents and MOT certificates for confirmation" There is a fully detailed list of service dates and MOTs on our website.

" The rear light strip and indicators have been replaced as the originals were faded and the front indicators have been replaced with black units (originals of all these are available). The car had a minor rear-end accident in 2000 and the plastic bumper was replaced but no other parts were needed. The original tool-kit, compressor, space-saver wheel, jack and hazard warning triangle are present and in good condition; as is the tonneau cover and a custom made fitted car cover. The Cabrio roof and the motors and cables were replaced in 2003 by Southdown Auto Trimmers. A new alarm system was installed by Selko in Warsaw in October 2010. The main oil tank pipe was replaced 29 March 2011 (see MSZ Racing receipt) The air-conditioning condenser unit was replaced 10 August 2010 and the air-con work well. Rear blower motor replaced in Feb 2016. In August 2016 the pipes that serve the oil cooler for the 'Tiptronic' gearbox were replaced. In September 2017 the car was given a full 12K service at Autofarm and the oil scavenge pipe was replaced.”

This is a fabulous Carrera 2 Cabriolet and has patently been looked after all its life. The coachwork and paintwork are both described as excellent as are the gearbox and transmission. The car was freshly serviced by Autofarm with some minor work (as above) last month and, we understand, is running sweetly. It's finished in Gloss Black with a black interior and black carpets and with its dramatic 'wide-body' looks, this 964 has a purposeful, Teutonic, 'don't mess with me' look, however, the reality is that it's a smart, reliable, top-down Porsche that's just as happy popping down to the shops.

We welcome any inspection of this rare and desirable 911.
