Porsche 993 Targa

INTERIOR
A classic contrast to the silver exterior, this 993 Targa is upholstered in blue leather which spans the doors, dashboard and wonderfully supportive sports seats. Condition of the interior is tidy throughout, with minimal wear to the leather seats and the blue carpets showing free from any stains or damage.Specified with air conditioning and a CD / MP3 radio system the interior of the 993 is more than comfortable to use on a daily basis.

The added benefit of the Targa roof creates an open air feel whilst much less exposed to the elements than in a conventional drop top.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The last of the air-cooled 911s the 993’s 3.6L engine was initially similar to the previous generation, but an update saw a VarioRam system fitted which increased mid range torque and boosted power from 272bhp to 285bhp. Benefitting from the updated engine this 993 Targa still feels quick, even by model standards, managing 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds and going onto a top speed of 168mph.

In November 2025, the car underwent a substantial engine-out service by Pickup Motor Sport, costing over £5,000. The work involved replacement of the clutch, clutch fork, clutch shaft with seals, timing chain cover gasket and cam gaskets.

For security and storage purposes when not in use, a convenient kill switch has been installed on the battery.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Fitted at each corner the 18 inch RS split rims show in very good condition, free from any signs of corrosion or curbing, and are wrapped in matching Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres all showing plenty of life. Brakes present with clean calipers and plenty of disc / pad life remaining.

Treated in 2023 to a suspension overhaul with renowned specialists Centre Gravity, the car now runs a trusted Bilstein & Eibach spring combination alongside a ‘classic geometry’ set up.
