The Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Cabriolet is one of the purest open versions of the final air-cooled 911 generation.
With rear-wheel drive, the six-speed manual gearbox and the unmistakable naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six, it combines the classic character of an air-cooled Porsche with the refinement and usability that made the 993 such a landmark generation.
This particular example stands out through its originality, provenance and especially attractive factory specification.
First registered in March 1995 and originally delivered new in Germany under country code C00, the car has covered only 97,500 documented kilometres and has had just three owners from new.
Its last owner kept the Porsche for approximately fifteen years, and the care devoted to the car during this period is immediately apparent.
It is finished in iconic Guards Red – Indischrot – over a beautifully preserved Black leather interior.
The combination suits the elegant yet compact lines of the 993 Cabriolet perfectly and remains one of the most timeless specifications for an air-cooled 911.
FACTORY-LOWERED SPORT CHASSIS
One of the most attractive aspects of this car is option 033 – the factory Sport Chassis.
Rather than being modified later in life, this 993 left Porsche with its lowered suspension from new.
Together with the Carrera 2 rear-wheel-drive layout and six-speed manual gearbox, it gives the car a more purposeful stance and a slightly sharper, more direct character on the road.
It is exactly the type of factory option that makes a noticeable difference to both the appearance and driving experience of a 993.
C00 – German-market specification
033 – Factory Sport Chassis / lowered suspension
139 – Heated seat, left
340 – Heated seat, right
551 – Wind deflector
573 – Automatic climate control
The car also retains its original Porsche CDR-21 radio.
THREE OWNERS AND ONLY 97,500 KM
The ownership history is exceptionally straightforward.
The car has had only three owners since new, with its most recent owner retaining it for approximately fifteen years.
The current mileage of 97,500 km is fully supported by the accompanying service history, invoices and TÜV documentation.
The original service book records maintenance at:
1996 – 8,377 km
1997 – 17,885 km
1999 – 28,351 km
2000 – 39,479 km
2003 – 54,978 km
2005 – 59,470 km
2006 – 61,991 km
2007 – 64,007 km
2008 – 66,504 km
2011 – 76,153 km
2014 – 81,346 km
2019 – 91,599 km
2024 – 96,213 km
2026 – 97,500 km
Few 993s of this age are accompanied by such a complete and transparent record of their life.
EXCEPTIONAL DOCUMENTATION
The history file is one of the strongest aspects of this Porsche.
It includes the original Porsche leather document wallet, original service book, owner’s manuals, historical maintenance invoices and TÜV inspection reports.
Remarkably, the file even contains every fuel receipt from 2011 through 2026.
More than €15,000 has been invested in maintenance during the recent years alone.
This level of documentation provides an unusually detailed insight into the ownership and care of the car.
Prior to delivery, the Porsche will also receive a comprehensive inspection at Porsche Classic, a fresh service and a brand-new set of tyres.
ORIGINAL AND ACCIDENT-FREE
This 993 is completely accident-free and retains approximately 85% of its original factory paint.
For a Cabriolet now more than thirty years old, that level of originality is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The body presents beautifully and the Guards Red paint retains the crisp, clean appearance that suits the 993 so well.
The Black leather interior is equally impressive, showing remarkably little wear in relation to the age of the car.
In 2019, the original convertible roof was professionally replaced with a high-quality Sonnenland soft top.
The car also comes with its original wind deflector.
MATCHING NUMBERS
The original engine and gearbox remain with the car, making this a genuine matching-numbers example.
Mechanically, the combination is exactly what many enthusiasts look for in a 993:
Naturally aspirated air-cooled 3.6-litre flat-six
Six-speed manual gearbox
Rear-wheel drive
Factory-lowered Sport Chassis
It gives this Cabriolet a more focused character than the average 993 open-top car while retaining all the usability for which the generation is known.
The car is accompanied by two original Porsche keys with their original Porsche key wallets, together with the complete original documentation set.
A BEAUTIFULLY HONEST 993 CABRIOLET
The appeal of this Porsche lies not in one single feature, but in the complete package.
Only three owners.
Just 97,500 documented kilometres.
Matching numbers.
Accident-free.
Approximately 85% first paint.
Factory 033 Sport Chassis.
Six-speed manual gearbox.
Extensive documentation from new.
And fifteen years of careful long-term ownership.
The result is an exceptionally honest and highly original Porsche 993 Carrera 2 Cabriolet that presents and drives exactly as a carefully maintained air-cooled 911 should.
For the enthusiast looking for a low-mileage manual 993 Cabriolet with excellent provenance and a particularly desirable factory chassis specification, this is a very compelling example.
