Engine & Mechanical Health
Underneath the engine lid, the matching-numbers flat-six runs beautifully after 141, 000 miles, a testament to careful driving and diligent servicing.
• Later-generation engine with the plastic intake manifolds, which are known for improved reliability and reduced weight compared to earlier metal versions.
• Cam chain cover gaskets replaced and torqued correctly – oil consumption remains minimal at < 250ml per 1, 000 miles.
• No recorded evidence of a top-end or full engine rebuild, but a leak-down test in August 2022 confirmed excellent health across all cylinders.
• Valve clearances adjusted at the last service in 2024.
• Genuine Porsche 964 engine map chip (473-7006 version) in the ECU.

Chassis WP0ZZZ96ZNS402630 was built for the UK market (‘C16’) in January 1992 and first registered on 1 March 1993, delivered new by JCT600. Remarkably, it has never had a plate change (2-digit) and remains 100% HPI clear. Finished in ‘L37W’ Midnight Blue Metallic, it’s paired with a ‘VA’ light grey partial leather interior, an elegant combination still popular today.
As a 1993 model year car, it came from the factory with Aero/ Cup mirrors and Cup Design wheels, replacing the flag mirrors and Design 90s fitted to earlier models. It has lived a life of fastidious maintenance, arguably over-serviced—as evidenced by the service book, which has had additional pages inserted. Originally maintained by official Porsche service agents, it has since been cared for by well-known specialists.
A genuine 964 tool roll (recently sourced from Tuthill and mostly complete), original books, and the spare wheel accompany the car.
