The vehicle in detail

Accident-free, fully documented from day one and mechanically maintained regardless of cost, including engine rebuild, gearbox rebuild and extensive preventive maintenance throughout its life.

An exceptionally honest, beautifully preserved and truly special air-cooled 911.

Carrera-Sport-Classics is proud to present this exceptionally rare and highly desirable Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet (993).

Finished in its original Speed Yellow paintwork over Night Blue leather with matching dark blue soft top, this car represents one of the most striking and period-perfect specifications we have ever encountered on a 993 Cabriolet.

In fact, despite many years specializing in air-cooled Porsche 911s, we have personally never seen another 993 Carrera Cabriolet configured in this exact Speed Yellow over Night Blue combination. The vivid exterior color combined with the elegant dark blue interior and matching hood creates an unmistakably 1990s Porsche character that is both unique and incredibly tasteful.

First registered in October 1995, this car is one of the very first Varioram-powered Carrera 2 Cabriolets produced.
Even more importantly for enthusiasts, it still benefits from the highly desirable short-ratio G50/21 manual gearbox.
Among Porsche enthusiasts and experienced 993 drivers, the combination of:

  • Varioram engine
  • rear-wheel drive
  • and the short G50/21 gearbox

is widely regarded as one of the best-driving naturally aspirated 993 configurations ever built.
The shorter gearing gives the car a noticeably more lively and engaging character, while the Varioram engine delivers improved torque, smoother response and greater flexibility. Combined with the purity of the rear-wheel-drive Carrera 2 chassis, the result is an exceptionally rewarding driving experience.
The provenance of this example is equally remarkable.
The first owner was Porsche AG itself. In 1996, the car was sold through Porsche Zentrum München to its second owner, who would keep and lovingly maintain the car for an incredible 28 years until 2024.
In 2024, Carrera-Sport-Classics acquired the car and sold it to a client in Luxembourg. Today, the car returns once again as an exceptionally sorted and beautifully preserved example.
Despite showing approximately 198,000 km, the overall condition of the car is genuinely remarkable and honestly presents closer to a car with half the mileage. The way this 993 looks, feels and drives clearly reflects decades of careful enthusiast ownership and maintenance without compromise on costs.
The car is fully accident-free and comes with a complete documentation file from day one, including:

  • Original purchase invoice from Porsche München
  • Complete invoice history
  • Original service documentation
  • Complete original book set
  • Original keys
  • Original spare key
  • Original key card

The car also received a Porsche Classic inspection in 2024.
Mechanically, this 993 has benefited from extensive long-term maintenance and preventive care throughout its life.
Major investments include:

  • Engine rebuild in 2004 at 118,000 km
  • Gearbox rebuild in 2019 at 187,000 km
  • Clutch replacement
  • Starter motor replacement
  • Suspension components renewed
  • Control arms replaced
  • Brake system refreshed
  • Ignition components renewed
  • Numerous important wear items replaced over the years

Most recently, the car received a major service in February 2025 by a Porsche specialist in Belgium at 194,000 km, during which the twin ignition system was also replaced.
As a result, the car drives exceptionally well and feels mechanically healthy, tight and confidence inspiring exactly as a properly maintained 993 should.
The interior remains in exceptionally clean and well-preserved condition with minimal signs of use. The Night Blue leather cabin perfectly complements the Speed Yellow exterior and creates a wonderfully elegant contrast rarely seen today.
The dark blue convertible soft top remains in excellent condition and the rear plastic window is exceptionally well preserved and remarkably clear, almost like new.
Factory options include:

  • C00 German delivery specification
  • 17-inch Cup wheels
  • 75-litre fuel tank
  • Air conditioning
  • On-board computer
  • Heated seats left and right
  • Wind deflector
  • Blaupunkt Reno radio

The original factory wind deflector is still present with the car, significantly improving open-top comfort during touring.
Another particularly charming and rare period-correct detail is the presence of the original Nokia in-car telephone system complete with its original mobile phone, beautifully capturing the authentic atmosphere of 1990s Porsche luxury and technology.
Approximately two years ago, a Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) system was also installed at a cost of around €2,000, adding modern connectivity while perfectly preserving the original Porsche look and feel of the interior.
The Porsche 993 remains the final evolution of the air-cooled 911 and is widely regarded as one of the most iconic sports cars Porsche has ever built.
Finding a Carrera 2 Cabriolet with:

  • this level of provenance
  • complete documentation
  • accident-free history
  • long-term ownership
  • extensive maintenance
  • and such an extraordinary color combination

has become exceptionally difficult today.

This is not simply another 993 Cabriolet.

This is a genuinely special, beautifully documented and enthusiast-maintained air-cooled Porsche with a unique specification and one of the most rewarding driving configurations of the entire 993 generation.
