1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet
Engine rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago with comprehensive maintenance history

Registration – K9 SAJ

Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ99ZVS331218

M.O.T. – July 2026

Odometer – 93,708

Representing the end of an era, this 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet belongs to the celebrated 993 generation — the last of the air-cooled 911s. With its naturally aspirated 3.6-litre flat-six engine featuring the desirable Varioram induction system (introduced in 1996 for improved torque and responsiveness), the 993 is widely regarded as one of the finest and most collectable iterations of the 911.

Finished in classic black over black leather, this example is specified with Tiptronic transmission, sought-after factory sports hardback seats, and what appears to be a Gemballa-designed sports exhaust system. The vendor, a committed Porsche enthusiast, has clearly cherished the car, with extensive maintenance history and mechanical investment to show for it.

The odometer reads 93,708 miles, with the original service booklet stamped up to 92,617 miles. Notably, the engine was rebuilt by Porsche less than 1,000 miles ago, with accompanying paperwork confirming the work. The car has also received new tyres, new convertible roof motors, a Porsche Classic stereo system with modern Bluetooth connectivity, and reupholstered front seats and steering wheel. The history file includes over £28,000 in receipts documenting recent expenditure, along with original book packs and further associated paperwork.

  • Engine rebuilt by Porsche less than 1,000 miles ago; over £28,000 in recent invoices

  • Supplied with book packs, service booklet, and extensive supporting paperwork

  • M.O.T. until July 2026
