Porsche 993 Carrera

The vehicle in detail

The car was originally delivered with Tiptronic transmission. In August 2008, at approximately 148,000 kilometres, it was professionally converted to a six speed manual gearbox by an independent Porsche specialist. This was no improvised modification. The conversion represented an investment of approximately €6,750 and was carried out properly, using the correct Porsche components and following the correct technical procedures.

This is a car that has genuinely been driven, but it has been cared for just as seriously. The original service book is exceptionally complete and contains an impressive number of stamps covering the life of the car. Together with the extensive collection of invoices, inspection reports and registration documents, the mileage can be followed almost continuously from delivery at just 27 kilometres all the way to approximately 180,000 kilometres today.

More importantly, the paperwork clearly shows the mentality of its previous owners: when the car needed something, it was done. Maintenance was followed extremely closely throughout its life, first through the Porsche dealer network and later through experienced independent Porsche specialists.

In 2018, the car underwent another major mechanical programme, including an extensive top end rebuild. The cylinder heads were professionally rebuilt, new valve guides were fitted and numerous seals, gaskets, oil return tubes and ignition components were renewed. The invoice records approximately 49 hours of specialist labour alone. It was maintained properly, invested in and kept mechanically up to standard. And that philosophy continued throughout the later years. Oil services, inspections and technical maintenance were consistently carried out, while the most recent German TÜV inspection in July 2025 was passed without recorded defects.

A proper driver’s 993 with a history that proves it has been used exactly as Porsche intended and maintained with the same level of commitment, resulting in a remarkably honest and convincing 993. For us, this is exactly what a real driver’s car should be. Driven, properly maintained and consistently cared for.
