Some Porsche 993s stand out because of their colour. Others because of their originality, provenance or condition.
First registered on 9 June 1995, the car was originally delivered in Germany under country code C00 and collected new at the Porsche factory in Stuttgart.
It remained in Germany continuously until 2026 and benefits from a completely traceable ownership history.
All four owners are known and documented.
The car is accompanied by its complete German registration history, including the original early Fahrzeugbrief and subsequent registration documents. This level of continuity is increasingly difficult to find on a 31-year-old air-cooled 911.
One of the defining features of this 993 is its factory Paint to Sample specification.
The car was ordered under Porsche colour code L999 and finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic, colour code 37U.
The colour suits the narrow-body 993 exceptionally well, changing noticeably depending on the light and highlighting the shape and curves of the final air-cooled 911 generation.
More importantly, the body remains completely in its original factory paint.
The car is accident-free, has never required body repair and shows remarkably little evidence of its age. Even normal signs of use such as stone chips and exterior wear are surprisingly limited.
For a 993 that has covered 131,000 km and is now more than three decades old, its level of preservation is exceptional.
A Particularly Clean 993 Specification
Another detail we especially appreciate is the absence of a rear window wiper. It may appear to be a small detail, but on a 993 Coupé it makes a significant visual difference. Without the rear wiper interrupting the rear glass and engine-lid line, the car retains an especially clean and elegant profile.
Combined with the Cobalt Blue Metallic paintwork and original 17-inch Cup wheels, it gives this Carrera 4 a very pure appearance.
Early 993 Carrera 4
This car belongs to the early generation of the 993 Carrera 4 and is equipped with the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six in its 272 PS non-Varioram specification, combined with the six-speed manual gearbox.
The 993 Carrera 4 represented an important evolution of Porsche’s four-wheel-drive concept.
Compared with the considerably more complex permanent all-wheel-drive system of the preceding 964 Carrera 4, Porsche introduced a much lighter viscous-coupling system for the 993.
The rear axle remained the primary driven axle, with additional drive being transferred to the front axle when required.
As a result, the 993 Carrera 4 retained much of the characteristic rear-engined 911 driving feel while offering additional traction and stability.
Together with the 993 generation’s completely redesigned multi-link rear suspension, the result was a significantly more refined and confidence-inspiring four-wheel-drive 911.
Interior
The interior is every bit as impressive as the exterior.
It features a beautifully preserved full leather cabin with Porsche’s distinctive Raffleder upholstery.
The condition is remarkable.
Seats, leather surfaces, carpets, dashboard and controls all present exceptionally well, and it is difficult to believe that the interior is now more than 31 years old.
The car also retains its original Blaupunkt München RD 104 radio, together with the corresponding operating manual.
Both original keys are present, including their original remote controls.
The original Porsche document wallet, owner’s manuals and accompanying literature remain with the car.

The factory specification includes, among others:
17-inch Cup wheels
Six-speed manual transmission

Service History
The original service book accompanies the car and records an extensive maintenance history from the first year of its life until 2025.
Documented service entries include:

10/1997 – 34,000 km – Porsche Centre
03/1999 – 43,900 km – Porsche Centre

10/2022 – 129,937 km – Porsche specialist
05/2025 – 130,952 km – Porsche Centre
This gives the car 13 documented maintenance entries spread across almost its entire life.
Particularly noteworthy is that during the later years, despite covering very few kilometres, the car continued to receive regular maintenance.
Before delivery to its next owner, the car will once again be inspected by Porsche Classic.
Conclusion
Finding a 993 Carrera 4 is not difficult.
Finding one with this combination of factory Paint to Sample colour, complete German provenance, only four known owners, original registration documents, extensive service history and completely original factory paint is another matter.
The condition of this car is what truly sets it apart.
It has clearly been treated with exceptional care throughout its life, and both its exterior and interior remain remarkably fresh despite being more than 31 years old.
The Paint to Sample Cobalt Blue Metallic specification, elegant narrow-body Carrera shape, early 272 PS drivetrain and particularly clean rear profile without rear window wiper make it an especially appealing 993.
For the enthusiast looking for a highly original, correctly documented and beautifully preserved air-cooled Porsche 911 rather than a restored or heavily refinished example, this Carrera 4 deserves serious consideration.
The car can be viewed by appointment at Carrera-Sport-Classics in Belgium.
