This 993 is in above-average original condition. The quality of this vehicle is reflected in the low and fully verifiable mileage of only 27107km. The extensive special equipment with exclusive parts as well as the rare color "turquoise metallic" indicate the specialty of this convertible.
The first owner bought his Porsche in July 1996 from Barrier Porsche in Bellevue (Washington) with the following equipment
In the exclusive department, this Porsche received the wooden accents on the steering wheel, the gear knob and the handbrake lever before it was delivered.
Annual workshop visits for service work are documented by invoices. A detailed list is available on request.
In January 2007, the second owner took over the vehicle with an odometer reading equivalent to 22388km (13911mls). This now carried out the annual maintenance regularly until the re-import at Gerber Motorsport in Seattle. In addition, he only moved the vehicle around 4000km during the 8 years that it was in his possession. The vehicle has been back in Germany since 2015 and was only moved to prevent damage to the vehicle. There is no need to act on the vehicle – get in and drive off.
The vehicle has a continuous paint layer thickness of 115 – 150 mµ and is undoubtedly in the first paint. Only the trunk lid was painted due to small stone chips. The color was found using almost 30 lacquered color sample cards, the color fits perfectly. In addition, the stone chip protection films have been renewed – so the vehicle shines in an impeccable overall condition. The color "turquoise metallic" is one of the most exclusive colors of the 993: It was only available in model year 1996, during this period only 4218 copies of the convertible were made.
The technology is in very good condition: The 285 HP VarioRam unit is the last evolutionary stage of the air-cooled era and runs like on the first day. Even the original wax layer on the 6-speed gearbox and engine is still there. The vehicle proves its low mileage on the road: no play in the drive train or steering.
The convertible top opens and closes superbly, the convertible top gear was recently renewed. The top fabric is the first and is in perfect condition. Tarpaulin and wind deflector are also part of the vehicle.
A look at the sub-floor leaves no doubt as to its originality – the factory-applied seal is still there. This vehicle was undoubtedly only driven on nice days.
This 993 has already been converted to European standards and is delivered free of defects with a fresh TÜV.
