Description

KEY FACTS

A rare and sought-after modern classic, this Porsche 911 Carrera S is a regularly maintained example of the 993-generation model.
It is powered by an air-cooled 3.6-litre ‘VarioRam’ flat-six, delivering around 285hp to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.
First registered in 1997, this UK-delivered example has had just four owners in total, and has been with the seller for seven years.
It benefits from a marque specialist rebuilt engine in January 2020 at 81,429 miles by Zuffenhaus Porsche Solihull, and is also noted to feature an uprated Dansk Sports exhaust and an MPL three-piece uprated clutch slave cylinder.
The odometer shows 83,504 miles, supported by a comprehensive service history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

This 911 Carrera S is finished in Zenith Blue Metallic over a black leather-trimmed interior, accented by aluminium dials.
It rides on 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres.
Equipment includes hard-back sports seats, an electric sunroof, air conditioning, aluminium dials, a rear wiper, a top-tinted windscreen, a third brake light, an onboard computer, and a Sony radio and stereo with a six-disc CD changer.
The seller notes the engine was rebuilt in January 2020, and the car also features an uprated Dansk Sports exhaust, clear front, rear and side repeater lenses which replace the orange originals, and an MPL 3-piece uprated clutch slave cylinder.
The car is accompanied by the original dealer and specialist stamped service book, a continuation service book, a service history recorded printout from 1998-2018, a comprehensive invoice file for works carried out to date, and two keys with two fobs.
The seller also notes a selection of original parts come with the car.

CONDITION

Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
Specific notes from the seller include: there are a few slight stone chips to the front bumper, and very minor wear to the driver's floor mat. The paintwork has benefitted from the application of a paint protection film applied to the front end in 2020.
The most recent MOT test took place on 13 June 2025 at 83,454 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with advisories for an offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint exhibiting slight play and a non-excessive oil leak. These advisories were subsequently rectified by Cavendish Porscha, Nottingham.
