DESCRIPTION
Often regarded as the last of the real Porsches and now the most sought after of the recent 911's, the discontinuation of the 993 in 1998 marked the end of the air-cooled versions. Introduced in late 1993 it differed from the outgoing 964 having a noticeably more rounded bumper profile and wider rear arches to accommodate the wider track that improved the handling. The interior noise levels were reduced and the ride quality improved. A dual flow exhaust, larger cross drilled brakes and improved steering were just a few of the other improvements Offered here is a Porsche 911 Targa Tiptronic S in the most desirable combination of Metallic Black with black interior. Originally supplied new by the Porsche Centre Glasgow in January 1997 it was supplied with air conditioning and electric seats and windows. The factory options also included a lowered chassis, rear wiper and high level brake light. The service book contains fifteen stamps, some main dealer and some marque specialists. The last service was conducted by Porsche Centre Dublin last year at 91,339 miles and the odometer now shows 96,100 miles. This is a low ownership example with a history file that contains various invoices, owners manuals and comes with an MOT until March 2016. As air cooled Porsches continue to become sought after this Targa in this combination looks very attractive.
