DESCRIPTION

  • UK-supplied, right-hand drive, C-16 993 Targa indicating just 52,200 miles from new
  • Presented in Porsche Pastel Yellow with black leather interior and matching yellow dials
  • Comprehensive history file with original Porsche book pack including original service book
  • 15 entries in the service book, predominately Porsche main agents with a few specialists
  • Most recent at Porsche Centre Brooklands, July 2019 at 51,961 miles, MOT valid to August 2021
  • Original, super cool and collectable 911 in a fabulous colour combination offered from a fastidious private collector

Today these 993 model 911s are becoming increasingly popular, in part due to the fact that they are much better looking than their immediate successor but also due to the fact that they were the last of the 'air-cooled 911' era from Porsche. They represent a very smart modern classic sports car with excellent build quality, good performance and relatively basic maintenance requirements. As such we have noted a steady increase in the values of good examples especially those with reasonable mileage supported by a comprehensive service history. Most popular are manual 993s with the later VarioRam engine update with examples finished in groovy period colours always attracting good attention.

Specified from new on 4th April 1997 this beautiful Porsche 911 Targa has been finished in Pastel Yellow (L12M) with black leather interior and matching yellow dials. Options included; 6-speed manual gearbox, rear wiper, top-tint screen and raised brake light. This 993, is a later model and benefits from the VarioRam engine update enjoying around 20 per cent more torque at 5,000rpm than non-VarioRam units.

23 years after delivery, this example remains in superb condition. The Pastel Yellow paintwork is spectacular and the black leather interior shows little signs of wear. Overall the car presents very well and it's clear to see that the car has been enjoyed yet maintained correctly. We are informed that it performs as well as it looks and has always been dry stored correctly in a modern heated garage.

Accompanying this example is a history file including its original Porsche book-pack with the original service book stamped up-to-date. There are 15 service entries in total mostly by Porsche main agents with a couple of specialist stamps and some supporting paper invoices also on file. Also included in the file are MOTs from over the years and other related documents supporting the current indicated mileage.

In summary, this is a very cool modern classic 911 in a desirable configuration offering its proud new owner open-top motoring without the need to drop the entire roof. Arrive at the tennis club, car club, golf club or any premium event in style. On offer from an eclectic private collection of carefully selected classic cars and ready for its next chapter
