The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1995 Porsche 911 993 Carrera 2 Cabriolet
Registration - M472 TMG
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ99ZSS331709
M.O.T. - November 2023
Odometer - 119,000
There is an understated sporting elegance about this Porsche cabriolet that makes it very appealing. This handsome example of the last air-cooled 911 model is finished in the stylish combination of Midnight Blue metallic paintwork with matching dark blue hood and leather interior trim, and rides on a sparkling set of replacement 18” alloy wheels – through which one can catch a glimpse of yellow brake callipers - shod with good quality Michelin tyres. ‘M472 TMG’ comes with a large history file detailing work carried out over the last 29 years, and including invoices mainly from Porsche Nottingham and Lancaster Porsche plus many invoices from a renowned Porsche specialist. The paperwork records a clock change at 103,000 miles. The vendor believes that the car benefited from a new hood and spoiler before his ownership and describes the automatic transmission of this matching numbers vehicle as ‘good’ and the 3.6-litre engine, electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior as ‘average’, though this may be slightly maligning what is a very good looking and smart motor car.
Penned by Englishman Tony Hatter, the 993 was instantly recognisable by its heavily slanted ellipsoidal headlamps mounted low in the wings and the notably flared rear wheel arches. The long-standing trailing arm rear suspension was no more, and in its place came a far more effective subframe-mounted multi-link arrangement. Braking was by servo-assisted ventilated discs on all four corners – ABS was standard. Steering was by rack and pinion. Other updates included more power for the 3.6-litre flat-six powerplant (up from 250 to 272bhp) and a brand new six-speed manual gearbox. The two-wheel drive version now needed only 5.2 seconds for the 0-60mph sprint and could top 160mph flat out.
In summary:
- A stylish, elegant cabriolet
- Comes with extensive history file
- Has benefited from replacement 18” alloy wheels and a replacement hood
