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 triumphated 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 Ocean Blue 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 closes rival is arguably the 993 Turbo S at 500,000 plus.

Finished in Ocean Blue Metallic with colour-coded bumpers and side skirts, this Carrera S wears its status subtly, with the split rear spoiler grid marking it out from lesser 911s to anyone who knows what to look for. The 18-inch "Technology" alloys with full-colour crest centre caps and fresh Pirelli P Zero N4-rated rubber keep the look period-correct and properly shod, while black-painted callipers hint at the performance underneath without shouting about it. Inside, the two-tone Marble Grey and Midnight Blue leather scheme is especially distinctive: electrically adjustable seats, contrast piping, and leather-clad surfaces throughout that lift the cabin well beyond the ordinary. Even the small details have been attended to, with driver's seat and sill trim repaired in 2021, leaving an interior that presents as carefully as the exterior.

The Mechanics

3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine
Five-speed manual G50 gearbox
Extensive fuel system overhaul by Porsche Centre Silverstone in 2015, including replacement of fuel tank, expansion tank, fuel gauge unit, fuel filters, filler neck, sealing rings, fuel pump, and DME relay, with injector rails flushed
48,000-mile service completed December 2012 at Porsche Centre Silverstone, including spark plugs, secondary oil filter, and pollen filter
Four wheels balanced and four Pirelli P Zero N4-rated tyres fitted in May 2021
Last serviced May 2026 at 8,924 miles: engine oil and filter change using Porsche Classic 10W60, new Yuasa battery, wheel alignment, horn contact cleaning, oil level gauge sensor cleaned, and stereo fuse replaced

The standout item in this car's history file is a comprehensive fuel system overhaul carried out by Porsche Centre Silverstone in 2015, covering everything from the tank and expansion tank to the pump, filters, and DME relay. Regular main dealer servicing continues through to a May 2026 visit at under 9,000 miles, which included a fresh oil and filter change using Porsche Classic 10W60, a new battery, and wheel alignment. This has to arguably be the lowest mileage 993 C2S on the planet and available today. Viewing is highly recommended this example will not disappoint and is a true collectors piece which any serious Porsche conniour will appreciate.
