The 993-Series was the final generation of the air-cooled 911, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It's also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Introduced in autumn 1994, it was claimed to be 80% new with more curvaceous bodywork and several new panels creating a much smoother and more integrated look, however, 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 of the new 911 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. Utilising the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with a six-speed manual or the Tiptronic automatic gearbox, the 993 from 1995 produced 272bhp enabling a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.

A desirable ‘C16’, UK-supplied example, this particular 993 generation 911 Carrera Cabriolet is presented in Schwarz Metallic with matching leather interior and features the ever-sought after manual gearbox. ‘’L60 JRB’ boasts an impressive factory specification including limited-slip differential, sports seats, air conditioning, cruise control, Blaupunkt Bremen RCM 43 cassette-radio, wind deflector, top-tinted windscreen, and onboard computer.

Showing 99,864 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment, this particular example has been in current family ownership the last 18 years. The vendor, an enthusiast and engineer with Red Bull Formula 1 acquired the car from his father, who raced a Surtees TS20 in the 80’s. The car has always been well maintained and looked after as to be expected by a motorsport family. The most recent service, in August 2023 was at 99,792 miles. With an MOT valid until 9th August 2024 with no advisories, included with the vehicle is an impressive history file. Within is the original Porsche book pack containing the Driver’s manual, Porsche Assistance booklet, two further Porsche booklets and the service booklet which contains 13 stamps. There is a large collection of invoices and previous MOT certificates, along with the current V5C document which displays 7 former keepers. The vendor notes the hood operates manually, but not electrically. As the tonneau needs to be put on anyway, he has not had this looked at.
