1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S - 993

This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, is finished in the rare and deeply metallic shade of Iris Blue. Having covered a very honest 86,000 miles from new, it strikes that perfect balance between being a highly collectable air-cooled asset and a car you can actually take out and thoroughly enjoy on the road. A classic 911 is only as good as its paperwork, and I am pleased to say the maintenance history on this C4S is absolutely perfect. It has clearly been minded by knowledgeable enthusiasts throughout its life, with a fully stamped service book and a comprehensive history file documenting regular, specialist care. Every mechanical item has been attended to preventatively rather than responsively, meaning the car is completely sorted, mechanically tight, and ready to be driven straight away with total peace of mind. Visually, the car is an absolute standout. The Iris Blue paintwork presents beautifully, holding a deep, lustrous shine that changes character subtly depending on the ambient light. The iconic widebody rear arches give the C4S an unmistakable road presence, and the body panels are entirely straight with factory-correct gaps all around. There are virtually no age-related marks to note, reflecting just how carefully the car has been stored, cleaned, and cherished over the years. Inside, the cabin is a wonderfully clean and original space. It is trimmed in Grey Marble leather, which provides a bright, sophisticated contrast to the dark blue exterior paintwork. The highlight of the interior is undoubtedly the inclusion of the factory sports hardback seats; these are a highly desirable option that offer superb support while remaining in excellent, unmarked condition. The carpets are pristine, the dashboard is free from any sun damage, and all the original switchgear functions with that tactile, vault-like precision that defines this golden era of Stuttgart build quality. Out on the road, this 993 reminds you instantly why the final air-cooled cars are so legendary. The 3.6-litre engine is incredibly responsive, delivering its power smoothly with that unmistakable, crisp flat-six soundtrack. Thanks to the four-wheel-drive system, the car feels remarkably planted, surefooted, and composed through the corners, making it an incredibly rewarding and confidence-inspiring machine to drive. It has a tight, cohesive, and beautifully mechanical feel that completely eludes modern sports cars, and it is entirely ready for its next owner to appreciate.
