EXTERIOR
This Carrera 2S looks particularly striking in Zenith blue; a truly complimentary colour to the elegant proportions of the last air cooled 911. With ultra rare factory fit options in Y75 Aerokit and X79 Air inlets, this C16 2S looks demonstrably more purposeful with front spoiler and fixed rear wing.

The satin like appearance of the bodywork has been carefully prepared and retains its deep glossy finish. The front end of the car is remarkably clean with only a few minimal stone chips to the front PU to report.
The mirrors and wider rear arches are in equally good order; displaying no major marks, just a light sprinkling of stone chips commensurate with its mileage. Lights remain crack and moisture free.

INTERIOR
The cabin of the 993 has a more refined approach to the positioning of the controls and switches compared with previous models. The plush interior is beautifully assembled; a familiar feeling of real quality and craftsmanship synonymous with Porsche design. The leather remains tight and extremely clean given it’s light co;our with only the lightest signs of use to the drivers bolster.

A Porsche Classic Radio Nav offers a more contemporary driving aid and allied with the electric roof ensures all Grand Touring bases are covered. Carpet and mat set are in good order whilst door cards and dash fit retain excellent original integrity.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 3. 6 litre has a perfectly elastic powertrain at both ends of the rev range and tractability is at the core of what makes the 993 so user-friendly. When you ignite the flat-six, it’s turbine-smooth and surprisingly quiet at low revs. But push the floor-hinged throttle a little further and the familiar hollow air-cooled bark always raises a smile.

The engine bay presents dry and clean throughout, with the last service carried out by Porsche just over 1k miles ago.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
These Turbo Twist ‘Technology’ 18 inch wheels present very well with no curb marks or lacquer peel, wrapped in N Rated Pirelli P Zero rubber all round showing ample tread depth.
Brakes show plenty of life to both pad and disc and pull the car up quickly and smoothly.

HISTORY FILE
This C16 RHD C2S was supplied by Evans Halshaw, West Midlands in May of 1997. The original service book logs a total of 12 entries, with a majority of the cars mileage covered in the first 10 years, before a light recommissioning with Porsche Leeds in 2017. Over £6k was spent ensuring the car was as reliable as it is presentable, and with further follow up services in both ’18 and ’19 the car is in excellent mechanical health.

The last service was carried out by the Porsche main dealer in Feb of 2021 at 68, 278 miles.

To find a manual 993 C2S with both the coveted Aerokit and Air Inlet option is extremely rare. With the combination of immaculate presentation and excellent mechanicals this air cooled special makes for a very interesting proposition.
