The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 2S
Highly desirable wide-body S model with manual transmission, from long-term ownership
Registration - G1 MND original registration P324 JAU
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ99ZVS312417
M.O.T. - May 2025
Odometer - 79,850
A rare and desirable version of Porsche’s iconic 911 lineage, this 993 Carrera S coupe is a cherished and highly original example. Presented in classic Arctic Silver bodywork over black interior, ‘G1 MND’ features Porsche’s 3.6-litre six-cylinder boxer engine and six-speed manual gearbox. Wrapped in Porsche’s wide-body design, this 993 Carrera S is a largely unchanged version, sitting on original Porsche alloys, and benefitting from a KW Variant 3 coilover suspension kit, and new rear tyres. The cabin is part-trimmed in black leather upholstery, and retains the 2+2 interior with compact rear seats.
The car is offered with a well-documented history, including original owner's book pack. The current owner is just the fifth keeper in more than 27 years, and has had the keys for the past dozen of them. ‘G1 MND’ also includes the original tool-kit. The registration number is not included in the sale - though is open for separate negotiation. Coming to auction with an indicated 79,850 miles on the odometer, ‘G1 MND’ is considered in fine condition throughout. The paintwork and interior are described by the vendor as in ‘good’ condition, while the engine, transmission, electrics, and bodywork are all rated as ‘excellent’. Offered with MOT until May 2025 and a recent service, ‘G1 MND’ is a perfect opportunity to obtain a cherished example of an extremely covetable and appreciating 911; Porsche’s 993 Carrera S.
The 993 is Porsche’s fourth generation of its famous 911 sportscar. Built from 1994, the 993 was offered in four different body-styles – coupe, convertible, targa, and speedster. The last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993 was significantly changed from its predecessor, with just 20% of its parts carried over from the third-generation 964. The 993 was the first generation to feature a six-speed manual transmission as standard. Though most iterations were offered with a four-speed Tiptronic automatic as an option, which became the Tiptronic S from 1995, with steering-mounted controls to change gear. Models included the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Carrera RS, Turbo, Turbo S, and GT2, with rear- or four-wheel drive offered across much of the range. Production ended in 1998, replacing the 993 with the 996.
In summary:
- Fascinating wide-body 993 Carrera S
- Relatively low mileage example of a desirable 911
- Highly original and cherished model
