1997 PORSCHE 911

Riviera Sports and Prestige are proud to present an exceptional and highly collectible example of the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, a 1997 R registration car that represents one of the finest surviving cars of its era. Showing just 28,391 miles from new and cherished by the same owner throughout its life, this is a superbly preserved example that speaks to both fastidious single ownership and the lasting brilliance of Porsches air-cooled engineering.Originally supplied in 1997 by Rivervale of Hove, this Carrera 4 Cabriolet was carefully specified in Ocean Blue Metallic, beautifully complemented by a bespoke, Provenance Blue leather interior. The result is a striking yet elegant colour pairing, seldom encountered on the 993, lending the car a presence that is both distinctive and timeless. Enhanced further by £12,377 of factory optional extras, this example remains entirely in its original paint and presents today in outstanding condition, reflecting decades of considered stewardship. Its history file is exemplary, with servicing carried out entirely by Porsche main dealers, preserving both its mechanical integrity and its provenance.At the heart of the car lies Porsches celebrated 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, producing 285 horsepower and paired with the highly desirable six-speed manual transmission. The performance remains compelling, with 060 mph achieved in just 5.2 seconds and a top speed of 171 mph, while the Carrera 4 all-wheel-drive system delivers assured handling and year-round usability. The unmistakable character of the air-cooled engine, combined with the open-top Cabriolet experience, creates a driving sensation that is increasingly rare and deeply sought after.The 993 generation holds a uniquely important position in Porsche history as the final iteration of the air-cooled 911, marking the end of a defining chapter for the marque. Revered for its blend of classic design, mechanical purity and modern refinement, it is widely regarded as one of the most desirable generations ever produced. To find a Carrera 4 Cabriolet specified so tastefully, with one owner from new, exceptionally low mileage and comprehensive Porsche service history, is an increasingly rare occurrence and positions this car as a genuine collectors piece.Freshly serviced by Porsche Centre Portsmouth and having been garaged throughout its life, this remarkable 993 is now ready to be appreciated and enjoyed by its next owner.
