1994 Porsche 993 Cabriolet

Basic information and History

Porsche is one of the most storied names in the sports car world and has proven time and time again that they build some of the world's best and most useful models. The 993 generation is the last generation with an air-cooled engine and without a doubt one of the most beautiful models with an incredible amount of character. Modern enough for everyday use, classic Porsche feel behind the wheel and a timeless design.

This a 94 model with the 3.6L boxer engine of 272hp and the much sought after manual gearbox. The car was imported to Sweden from Nice back in 2004 and has had a single owner since then who looked after and serviced it very well. The car has never been driven in winter and has been driven very sparingly with only a couple of hundred miles a year since 2014. The car was originally delivered with a gray roof but has recently had a brand new one installed in a very nice light brown color that matches the very unusual purple paintwork perfectly. The accompanying cab cover is still in the same gray color that the car was delivered with.

Condition

Exterior: The car was delivered in this super nice and very unusual color called Amaranth Violet which, according to info, could only be ordered in 1994 and 1995 on the 993. The seller says that the car is in good condition externally apart from a couple of minor marks after normal use and a couple of minor cracks in the paintwork above the front license plate which is a common problem with these, all marks are documented in the album. The roof has been replaced and works flawlessly and breaks off very nicely against the purple paint. For more info on exact condition see our detailed photos in the album and feel free to ask questions in the comment field!

Interior: The interior upholstery appears to be in very good condition with some signs of use, but overall intact and clean with few remarks. The gray leather contrasts really well with the lacquer and the combination is just the icing on the cake. All functions are functional and the upgraded speakers and aftermarket stereo with hands-free are a nice bonus for those who intend to use the car for longer trips. For more info on exact condition see our detailed photos in the album and feel free to ask questions in the comment field!

Mechanics: The car is very well documented and well serviced, all documentation is available and no noted remarks on the drivetrain. Clutch was replaced in 2022 and the car has been serviced/maintained regularly despite being sparingly used. The sports exhaust system gives a nice and "appropriate" sound and the brakes are in very good condition. The car was inspected without remarks in 2022/04. Please see all the photos in the album for more info.


Summary

A really popular classic Porsche with a very rare spec, well-documented history and ready to give the next owner many great downcabbed miles! It is one of the most beautiful Porsche models and works just as well on curvy country roads as on a cruise around town or why not a trip down to southern Europe. The unusual and stylish color attracts attention wherever you go! Nice examples like this with a good history do not grow on trees and if you are looking for a 993 as both an investment and for use, this is a fantastic opportunity.
