An incredibly classy options list specified when this car was ordered include: new with the ultra desirable electronically adjustable, hard back sports seats (option codes 373 & 374), instrument dials in colour (X45), 17” alloy wheels (398), rear window wiper (425), model badge delete (498), ‘3top-tinted windscreen (567), air conditioning (573) and sun-moon-roof (650).
Being a later 993, this car benefits from the much heralded Varioram M64/22 engine (285hp). Today the car performs faultlessly, with the engine as smooth as every and the silky Tiptronic gearbox still functioning exactly as it should.
This is largely thanks to the care the car has received over the years from its previous custodians. Accompanying the car is a large folder containing dozens of servicing invoices, old MOTs, build certificate as well as the full book back and 3x sets of keys.

The most recent owner had 4x new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres fitted just under a year ago as well as a Pioneer Bluetooth radio head unit, supplied and fitted by Car Audio Security. Today the car has covered 59,849 miles and is a testament to the love it has clearly received over the course of its life. You will be hard pushed to find a better 993 Carrera Tiptronic.
As with all of our vehicles, we have a digital folder available on request containing more images, walkaround videos, pictures of the underside and scans of the service history. The car can be viewed by appointment at our West London showroom.
