1997 PORSCHE 911 (993) TARGA // LOW MILEAGE // EXTENSIVE HISTORY For Sale

**** NOW SOLD - SIMILAR REQUIRED****
EQUIPMENT
C16 RHD, Zenith Blue Metallic, 6-Speed Manual Gearbox, 17” Split Rims, Sliding Glass Targa Roof, Blaupunkt radio with USB and AUX Connectivity, Electronic Sunblind, Marble Grey Leather Sports Seats with Electric Adjustment, Air Conditioning with Climate Control, Black Porsche Floor Mats, Electric Windows, Electric Adjustable Mirrors, Top Tint Windscreen, Rear Windscreen Wiper, Headlight Washers

EXTERIOR
This Targa is finished in the charming shade of Zenith Blue Metallic; a colour that particularly highlights the iconic proportions of the last air-cooled 911. The paintwork retains a deep, consistent shine and presents free from any significant blemishes. The body of this Targa is exceptionally clean with only the lightest signs of use – a testament to careful ownership.

INTERIOR
Perhaps a highlight of this low mileage Targa is the Marble Grey over Midnight Blue interior. The leather remains soft and supple with no rips, tears, or scuffs to report. The hardbacked sports seats are supportive and electrically adjustable, with the susceptible bolsters presenting in excellent order. The carpets have been protected with genuine Porsche over mats, whilst the door cards and dashboard also present in fantastic order.

Striking the perfect balance between the openness of a cabriolet, without being so exposed to the elements at speed, driving the Targa provides ample airiness and a totally unique experience. The roof mechanism works as intended, as does all other switchgear.

THE DRIVE & ENGINE
The 285bhp naturally aspirated engine starts on the button and settles to a steady idle. Upon test, gear changes are responsive and tight, with the car performing impeccably throughout the rev range.

With a 0-62mph time of 5. 2 seconds, the 993 Targa is certainly no slouch, even by modern standards. Having a total of 17 service stamps in the book, most recently with Porsche Centre Brooklands less than 2, 500 miles ago, this 993 Targa is a joy to drive.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The 17” Split Rim wheels all present free from any marks or blemishes. Tyres are Michelin Pilot Sports with plenty of tread remaining.
