The vehicle in detail

1996 Porsche 911 (993) Targa – Manual – Only 36,400 km

This exceptional 1996 Porsche 993 Targa was originally delivered in Germany (Werksauslieferung) and represents one of the rarest and most desirable air-cooled 911 variants.

The 993 Targa was produced in only 4,583 units worldwide, making it one of the lowest-production models of the 993 series.

Unlike earlier Targas, the 993 introduced a revolutionary sliding glass roof system, offering open-air driving with the rigidity of a coupé. Combined with the air-cooled flat-six engine and manual gearbox, this model delivers an unmatched driving and collecting experience.

Key features & highlights

  • German-delivered, matching numbers
  • Only 36,400 km from new – one of the lowest-mileage 993’s currently available worldwide, truly unique
  • Just 3 careful owners:
    • 1st owner (1996–2010)
    • 2nd owner (collector, 2010–2024)
    • 3rd owner (2024 – present, selling to upgrade to newer Targa)

  • Finished in Polar Silver Metallic (first paint, original condition)
  • Full Raf leather interior: seats, dashboard, and door panels – extremely rare and luxurious specification on the 1996 Targa
  • Highly desirable manual gearbox (G50-21 short gearbox)
  • Original wheels, unrefurbished
  • Original Motorola phone and Porsche radio still present
  • Both original keys, code card, full set of books, complete documentation – every km and every service accounted for

Condition & recent work
This 993 Targa has benefitted from a comprehensive €10,000 investment in the past year, including:

  • Full Porsche service and Porsche Classic check at Porsche Centre Antwerp
  • New tyres with N codation for Porsche
  • Porsche Classic 111-point check (less than 1,000 km ago – report available)
  • Full dry-ice cleaning of the chassis, restoring a factory-fresh appearance (pictures available)
  • High-quality PPF (paint protection film) applied to the front section and coating on the whole body

The car is in first paint, rust-free, accident-free, with only minimal stone chips on the front – consistent with the mileage. All systems function perfectly, and the car is fully ready for both collection and driving enjoyment.

Why the 993 Targa?
The Porsche 993, produced between 1993–1998, is widely regarded as the ultimate evolution of the air-cooled 911. It combines timeless design, mechanical robustness, and daily usability.
The Targa variant of the 993 is especially rare, with only 4,583 cars produced worldwide across its entire production run. Its unique sliding panoramic glass roof was a first for Porsche, offering both open-air enjoyment and coupe-like rigidity. Combined with the final generation of the air-cooled flat-six engine, this makes the 993 Targa one of the most collectible 911s of the era.

Summary

  • Rare final air-cooled 911 Targa (1 of 4,583)
  • Manual gearbox & full Raf leather interior
  • Polar Silver, first paint, only 36,400 km – one of the lowest on the market
  • Fully documented provenance and complete history
  • Extensive recent maintenance (€10,000+)
  • Porsche Classic check passed, all systems perfect

A superb opportunity to acquire one of the rarest and most original Porsche 993 Targas on the market – low mileage, fully documented, and in immaculate condition.
