1997 Porsche

An exceptional C16 UK supplied right hand drive manual example from late in the production run and hence featuring the more powerful Varioram engine. Finished in Arctic Silver, it has a great specification which includes soft black ruffled leather, air conditioning, rear wiper, top tint windscreen, on board computer, sunroof and a more recently fitted Porsche retro stereo system. It has covered 59,000 miles from new and has a full and comprehensively detailed service history with many invoices and service stamps across two service books.

First supplied by AFN, latterly Porsche Centre Guildford on the 1st of April 1997 the car was maintained by them on an annual basis until 2009 and 35,000 miles. The Porsche Centre at Byfleet then took over the maintenance role until 2015 and 49,000 miles. The following year it was bought by the last owner, a repeat Hairpin customer and fastidious collector who will only entertain the finest examples in his collection. He used local main dealer The Porsche Centre in Tonbridge for maintenance until 2020 at which point he was introduced to the very highly regarded specialists Clark and Carter. They have continued to maintain the car to date and to the highest standards. Any item requiring attention has been immediately dealt with as detailed in invoicing on file.

In 2021 a complete strip and repaint of the car was completed, not due to any damage but purely to refresh the car to perfect condition. Invoicing on file for £35,000 details this work with all trim parts being replaced or refurbished as required.

The 993 has covered a further careful 5,000 miles since completion of this refurbishment and hence remains in immaculate as new order in all respects. The paintwork is of supreme quality and the detail from wheel arch liners to door surrounds and windscreen seals is flawless. I have sold a number of very nice 993 examples over the years, but I think this one may be the best yet.
