1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

The 993 is the last air-cooled 911, and this Cabriolet pairs the 3.6-litre flat-six's 285 bhp with a six-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black leather, it was first registered in 1997 and has covered 76,989 miles. The original owner specified a rear wiper, coloured wheel centres and a top-tinted windscreen, small additions that mark it out from a base-spec car.

The service record is unusually complete. Nineteen stamps are listed, running from the first service at 8,360 miles in 1998 through Porsche main dealers, then a succession of Porsche specialists, with the latest entries at 75,958 and 75,960 miles in 2024 and 2025. A folder of invoices and receipts backs this up, and the car comes with all books and manuals. A further service is to be completed by the selling dealer.

The 993 is widely regarded as the sweet spot of the air-cooled era, combining the classic 911 form with a multi-link rear axle that tamed the handling of earlier cars. With a documented history and a manual gearbox, this one suits a buyer who wants to drive it rather than simply store it.
