1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 2 Cabriolet Tiptronic

The 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche.

Twenty years on, it still looks modern - a truly timeless design. The 993 was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models. The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise, and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the 'Weissach effect'), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking, and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system.

Presented here is a right-hand drive 1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 2 Cabriolet with a Tiptronic gearbox supplied by Jebsen Motors of Hong Kong, who are main Porsche agents. Finished in the beautiful colour combination of Guards Red with a full Black leather interior, this car was supplied on 8th August 1995 to its first owner. The car was ordered with many factory- fitted individual accessories including Air Conditioning, wooden steering wheel/gear selector and handbrake lever, 18-inch alloy wheels, electric seats, tinted front screen, lumbar support, onboard computer and Tiptronic buttons on the steering wheel.

The history file includes invoices dating back to 2003 and a raft of MOT certificates confirming its mileage. Maintenance duties have been undertaken by main dealers and Porsche Specialists. It's supplied with the original book pack containing the driver's manuals and service book, the spare key, the UK V5c, and an MOT until 23rd August 2018. The Porsche is currently stored professionally and is now showing 41,900 miles on the odometer. Please note documents support a speedo change from KM to MPH at 21,481KM when the car first entered the UK and therefore the total mileage covered is 55,500. This 911 has clearly been pampered all of its life and now provides an excellent opportunity to join the happy band of convertible 993 owners.
