Well done - it will be all the better for being driven regularly.

Needs a picture of your car to show us what a 200k mile 993 looks like.

Well used, hope you've enjoyed it! wink

Chapeau!

Seriously impressive.... but are those aftermarket LEDs? The cognoscenti will turn their noses up.

Nice to see this kind of mileage. Would also be useful to know what major maintenance you've done. Has your 993 had an engine rebuild for example?

Has had pretty regular use most of it's life, and more recently I got rid of the daily hack and we have just this and an E-Golf, but with 5 kids between us it's getting plenty of use.

No engine rebuild required, still going strong. New suspension all round and lots of regular T&C in all the areas that matter.

P.S. no LEDs on the dash - looks like it, but that's just the clever iphone getting more light out than there is! In reality the dash is hardly legible at night!

Congratulations. A proper mileage 993. smile

I’m just about to turn 160K in mine and after a remap for a LWF she was knocking out 294bhp from its non Vario engine . 9M couldn’t believe it hadn’t been rebuilt.

As long as regularly serviced I reckon the 993 engine will easily rack up stellar miles ….. One of the greatest Porsche engines imo.

Which wheels are on your 993?

They are 19” RUF wheels. Not the purists choice I imagine but I think they work really well on it.

Excellent, nice one, great to see 993's used as intended.

I remember a guy on Rennlist clocking up 300k miles on a 993 cab some years ago.

He'd had a couple of clutches and a roof replacement I think but, like you, no engine rebuild required.

Sound engineering I guess.

Just googled 993 mileage - turns out some German had 660,000 km on his 993 back in 2016................

The Cologne architect and artist Klaus Jürgen Pfeffer has had his Porsche for 22 years.
The car has already run 626,000 kilometers.
It is the Porsche with the greatest mileage in the world with the first engine.
Now the automobile should make it into the Guinness Book of Records.

I’d better keep driving mine then. As if I needed persuading…
