Interior & Equipment
Remarkable... As you would expect from such a low mileage example. The sumptuous Slate Grey perforated leather shows no signs of adverse wear or discolouration, the optional driver and passenger hard back electric Sports Seat operate perfectly. The original black carpets are excellent throughout as are the optional Factory Luxury Porsche Logo overmats. The optional Tiptronic Control Carbon/Leather steering wheel is unmarked and as new. All switchgear, interior lighting, heater, air conditioning, perforated black headlining, optional yellow front and rear seatbelts, optional Carbon dashboard, Carbon door panels, Carbon handbrake and shifter all unmarked and as new just as they left the factory back in February 1997. Sound is provided by the Porsche CDR 21 single CD/radio unit through multi way factory fit speakers and tweeters. The boot area is complete with original unmarked carpet, courtesy light, tool kit and warning triangle again all as new... Amazing throughout
Exterior

The teardrop mirrors are unmarked and all original factory glass is perfect. The Targa top has been fully serviced and operates with ease as does the retractable sunblind.

Wheels, Tyres & Brakes
Equipped with original Porsche Factory Option distinctive 2-piece split rim 17-inch refurbished wheels shod with all matching new factory specification Pirelli P Zero tyres, dressed with Porsche coloured crested centre caps. The brake discs and pads have recently been replaced, all 4 original brake calipers look as new, black with embossed Porsche logo. It doesn’t get any better than this the attention to detail is second to none…
Engine & Transmission
Porsche’s VarioRam induction system was designed to improve low to mid-range torque by optimising airflow at different rpms. Introduced on the 993 Carrera RS’s M64/20 engine in 1995, the technology was then rolled out onto the standard 993 Carrera range with the introduction of the 1996 M64/21 engine. Its discontinuation marked the end of air-cooled Porsches, with the 993 being the last air-cooled 911. Needless to say this 3.6 Targa Tiptronic 'S' is super quiet, idles beautifully, pulls very strongly throughout the rev range and starts with ease hot or cold. The engine bay is all original and detailed. With a 0-60 in just 5.4 sec, top speed of 171 mph and that flat 6 engine note you cannot fail to smile.
Summary
Something extraordinary does not just happen somehow, somewhere. It happens at a very particular place. Hand-crafted. With experience. With passion. And through the inspiration of customers. Experts in their profession pass on these ideas and the personality of the buyers to the vehicle – and thus make a Porsche “Your” Porsche.

More details
Regarded as the 993 generation of the 911 is often referred to as the best and most desirable of the 911 series, not only because of its beauty, but also because of its great performance, even by modern standards. The 993 is quoted as "the last complete 'modern classic' ” the 993 was and forever will be that last fresh breath of air that Porsche gave the world; elegance and muscle all in one package.
The Targa version of the 993 was introduced in model year 1996 and saw the debut of the so-called "greenhouse" system: a retractable glass roof, a design continued on the 996 and 997 Targa. The glass roof would retract underneath the rear window revealing a large opening. This system was a complete redesign, as previous Targa models had a removable roof section and a wide B-pillar functioning as a roll bar. The new glass roof design allowed the 993 Targa to retain the same side-on profile as the other 911 Carrera variants and finish without the inconvenience of storing the removed top of the old system. The Targa has the body of the convertible with the Targa glass roof replacing the fabric roof.
