Highlights

  • 8,900 warranted miles  
  • Rare 993 Carrera S with factory Turbo-look widebody and unique split rear engine lid spoiler grid
  • Desirable Cobalt Blue Metallic over two-tone Marble Grey and Midnight Blue leather
  • UK-supplied C16 right-hand drive example with manual G50 gearbox
  • Well-documented service history including OPC and specialist maintenance
  • Extensive fuel system overhaul carried out by Porsche Centre Silverstone in 2015
  • Advisory-free MOT to April 2027
  • Featured as front cover car in Total 911.

The Appeal

To observe the Porsche 993 in its wide-hipped Carrera S iteration is to witness the absolute apotheosis of the air-cooled, rear-engined paradigm, a configuration as fundamentally flawed in its classical physics as it is brilliantly triumphed over by Zuffenhausen's relentless mechanical intellect. Stripped of the parasitic front driveshafts and heavy forced-induction paraphernalia of the Turbo, this rear-driven, manual-gated coupé delivers the pure, unadulterated experience drivers seek.
 
Draped in a lustrous Cobalt Blue Metallic over a dual-tone Marble Grey interior, and with just 8,900 warranted miles under its belt, this 993 C2S is truly unrepeatable. It's a UK-supplied, right-hand drive example delivered new through Stratstone of Wilmslow on 1st August 1997. The service history is well documented from delivery, with maintenance carried out by Official Porsche Centres and respected specialists. Of particular note is the extensive fuel system overhaul undertaken by Porsche Centre Silverstone in 2015.
For the discerning 993 enthusiast seeking a rare Carrera S in a memorable colour combination, with a manual gearbox and a reassuring history file, this is an opportunity well worth serious consideration. Particularly having covered just 8,900 miles from new. Its closest rival is arguably the 993 Turbo S at 500,000 plus.
