⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The 993 marks an unforgettable technical and emotional high point for Porsche purists.

As the final chapter of a legendary legacy, the Porsche 993 represents the absolute pinnacle of the air-cooled era. Introduced for the 1995 model year, the upgraded Varioram induction system ensured this later-generation model flawlessly blends classic, analogue driving dynamics and an iconic mechanical soundtrack with modern grand touring refinement.

While original 911s carried a reputation for wayward handling tendencies, the 993 tamed those quirks with a sophisticated multi-link rear suspension that drastically improved ride comfort and stability. This generation stands as a technical and stylistic high point, pairing rock-solid build quality with timeless aesthetics. From the innovative sliding-glass-roof Targa to the coveted wide-body variants, the 993 remains a deeply emotional high-water mark for enthusiasts, capturing the true heart of Porsche history before the water-cooled 996 took over in 1998.

Coming to market from just over two years with our vendor, this 1996 Porsche 993 Targa features the highly desirable manual gearbox and is beautifully finished in 'Ocean Blue' metallic over a grey and blue leather interior. Backed by an impressive service history boasting 18 stamps and invoices back to 2003, this low-mileage example is fresh from a recent service. It also benefits from a full body respray carried out in 2018 and the car is complete with its original owner’s pack, booklets, and two sets of keys.
