1996 Porsche 993 Manual only 29,900 miles

This is a very special 1996 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera 2 with manual-transmission and that is finished in the sophisticated Ocean Blue Metallic, perfectly paired with a rich Cashmere Beige leather interior. Having covered a remarkably low 29,000 miles from new, this is a rare chance to effectively step back into 1996 and experience a 993 that feels, smells, and drives like a fresh car. It is the ultimate enthusiast’s spec: a narrow-body, rear-wheel-drive manual in a colour combination that screams class. The provenance of this Porsche is as impeccable as its appearance, supported by a perfect service history that meticulously documents its life. In a market where many 993s have been driven as intended, finding a sub 30,000 mile survivor with such a comprehensive paper trail is an absolute rarity. This is a "no-excuses" vehicle that has clearly been the pampered crown jewel of a private collection. The specification on this car is truly top-tier, headlined by the inclusion of the very expensive and rare factory Hardback Sport Seats. These seats are the "holy grail" for 993 collectors, providing incredible support and a much more purposeful feel to the cabin. The car sits on iconic 18 inch Turbo Twist wheels, which give it an aggressive, planted stance, and is equipped with factory air conditioning to ensure comfort during those long summer drives. Every element, from the paint finish to the tactile feel of the gear shifter, remains in exceptional condition. To be honest, there is a specific "tightness" to a low-mileage 993 that you just cannot replicate through restoration and this car has it in spades. Those hardback seats really do change the whole vibe of the interior; they make you feel like you are part of the car rather than just sitting in it. It is the kind of Porsche that makes me want to take the long way home every single time just to hear that air-cooled flat-six sing. The Ocean Blue is a bit of a chameleon; it looks subtle in the shade but absolutely pops when the sun hits it. I have a feeling this one will be heading to a new home very quickly.
