Lot 205: 1994 Porsche 911 Type 993 Carrera 2 Cabriolet

In 1993 Porsche introduced what is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all: the Type 993. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form; the Type 993�s arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising conventional two-wheel (Carrera 2) and four-wheel drive (Carrera 4) models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest, 3.6-litre version of Porsche�s perennial flat-six engine.
A right-hand drive UK model supplied new via Porsche dealer Dick Lovett in Bristol, this 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet has the desirable six-speed manual transmission and comes with full service history, including invoices and fully stamped service booklet. The latter has been stamped on 12 occasions (mainly Porsche dealers), the last major service having been carried out by AFN Porsche, Guildford in 2006 at a cost in excess of �3,500. A new clutch was fitted by Neil Bainbridge in January 2007 and the roof replaced recently. A good, well cared for original example, finished in green-black with black leather interior, that has covered 90,050 miles from new, the car is offered with all expired MoTs, current road fund licence and copies of the current MoT certificate and Swansea V5 registration document.
