When Porsche introduced the 911 of the 993 generation in 1993, the classic body variants coupe, targa and convertible were available again, as is usual at Porsche. As with the predecessor (964), this 911 generation also had an extendable rear spoiler, no matter which body version you chose. For the first time, the 993 series was equipped with a six-speed gearbox as standard, with the four-speed automatic again available as an option. In addition to the engine, the multi-link rear axle also underwent a thorough overhaul, which now made even higher lateral acceleration possible. The 993 was the last time the 911 had an air-cooled boxer engine.

The seller mentions that he will renew the MOT upon delivery, based on the so-called matching numbers. 2 vehicle keys are included with the car, and a CarFax is also available.

Flat ellipsoid headlights and wider fenders than in the previous series ensure that the body of the 993 has a harmonious appearance. This 911 Cabriolet in the color "turquoise metallic" (color code L25D) is in good condition on the outside, with just a few signs of wear. According to CarFax, the right and left sides of the car have already been repainted due to previous damage. Color differences on the entire exterior cannot be detected, and the body of the convertible does not appear to have any traces of rust. There are no cracks or other damage to be found in the soft top fabric.

Pirelli tires from the production year 2014 are mounted on 5-spoke alloy wheels. There are some curb scratches on the edges of the rims. The current owner of the Porsche states that the condition of the brakes is ok, and to his knowledge there are no defects in the area of the chassis.

The gray color can be seen in the interior of the Porsche Cabriolet: the torn side bolster on the driver's seat is conspicuous, while the front passenger seat is undamaged. Dashboard, door panels, the 4-spoke leather steering wheel and the gear knob show only minor signs of use. In addition to central locking and power steering, there are also power seats, power windows, air conditioning, an airbag steering wheel, cruise control and a Pioneer accessory radio on board the Porsche. The soft top mechanism of the 911 is functionally flawless, and a tarpaulin is included.

The complete on-board folder with all documents – including a partially maintained checkbook – is available, and there is also a CarFax, which tells the history of this 993 in the USA traceable. Except for the non-functioning loudspeakers at the rear right, all the displays, instruments and controls are fully functional.

In the 1996 model year, the performance of the 3.6-liter boxer engine increased to 285 hp through the use of the Vario-Ram system. The power of the 6 cylinders is transferred to the road via the rear axle via a 6-speed manual transmission. Only recently (July 2022) a last service took place, in the course of this maintenance work the following spare parts were new: front dampers, wishbones, rear tie rod links, gas pressure absorbers all around, wiper blades, air duct for heating. Wheel alignment was also carried out and an air conditioning service was carried out.

The condition of the underbody reflects the low mileage of this 993.

The proportions of a 993 are completely harmonious, but at the same time appear very modern: a convertible from the 993 series still has the classic look. As the last air-cooled generation, this series also benefits from a certain aura that makes the 993 something special. Due to the extensive repairs on this 911 Cabriolet and the demonstrably low mileage, the future owner can take the road carefree – preferably with the top down – under the wheels.
