Porsche 911

This 1995 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 3.6 Tiptronic Coupe is a genuine Varioram car that has covered a documented 79,500 miles. It has been fitted with a Turbo front bumper and was specified from new with the expensive option of hardback sports seats. It also comes complete with its all-important Certificate of Authenticity.

Finished in Arena Red Metallic over a Marble Grey leather interior, the condition of this car is truly superb throughout. It is an incredibly hard-to-fault example that perfectly captures the peak of 90s Porsche aesthetics.

The provenance of this 993 is as impressive as its appearance, with over £30,000 invested into the vehicle over the last decade. The car comes with a massive service history file featuring 25 recorded services and the most recent “major” service was completed just two weeks ago. It is supplied with all three original keys (including the valet key), a fully stamped service booklet, and all original manuals and an extensive folder of invoices and test results.

In terms of specification, this car has been elevated far beyond the standard factory offering. It features a “Center Gravity” suspension setup for superior handling and a genuine Turbo S front end that was professionally installed during a £15,000 bodywork refresh in 2014.

For those planning longer tours, a fully electronic air conditioning system was recently installed at a cost of £5,000, ensuring the cabin stays ice-cold regardless of the weather. Factory highlights include the highly desirable hardback sport seats, 17″ Cup design alloys, a top-tint windscreen, and an electric sunroof.

To be honest, while I love a manual, there is something remarkably effortless about the Tiptronic when paired with the Varioram engine. It makes this the perfect 911 for someone who actually wants to use their classic for more than just a Sunday morning blast.

The upgraded air conditioning is a total game-changer for summer time, and the Turbo S front end gives it a presence that most standard Carreras just can’t match. It’s a beautifully sorted, “no-excuses” car that I’ve really enjoyed driving.
