1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet
Desirable manual transmission, a no-expense-spared, cherished example

Registration - N157 FEY

Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ99ZSS332029

M.O.T. - May 2025

Odometer - 94,800

The 993 model represents the fourth generation of Porsche’s iconic 911 sports car. ‘N157 FEY’ is a highly desirable exemplar of the breed ticking all the aficionado’s boxes along the way. ‘N157 FEY’ is blessed with the purists’ choice of Getrag manual gearbox, a six-speed version for the first time in the 993. In this Carrera 4 full time four wheel drive configuration, ‘N157 FEY’ can better deploy its 272 bhp in the full gamut of road conditions. This Cabriolet presents in stunning Midnight Blue Metallic livery with matching leather interior. With a sensible 94,680 miles to date, ‘N157 FEY’ is offered with the peace of mind of a recent comprehensive £20,000 refurbishment with no aspect of the car overlooked. This included the fitment of a new, electrically operated blue mohair hood and a full engine overhaul and recommissioning including the ice blasting of key components. This work is additionally backed by a diligent service history with three services in just the last 6,000 miles – 93,500 miles in 2024, 90,788 miles in 2022 and 87,363 miles in 2020.

The 993 model is noted for being the last of the air cooled 911s and so, for many, the last real 911. That clearly enhances the collectable status of ‘N157 FEY.’ That aside this is a pristine looking and sympathetically maintained example. Both body and paintwork are vendor rated as “excellent”, and the Midnight Blue hue really suits the curvaceous lines of this 993. The originality seems first class, too, right down to the original 17-inch Cup 2 alloy wheels with “Carrera 4” centres and accompanying matching set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. The signature active rear “tea tray” spoiler is another key 993 feature.

The sporting cabin is a model of 993 originality with sublime, supple perforated Midnight Blue leather upholstery and complementary hued carpets. The original factory Becker CD played, big VDO instruments and hardbacked sports seats all leave you in no doubt you are in one of Stuttgart’s finest. The naturally aspirated, air-cooled 3.6-litre flat-six, delivering around 272bhp to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transmission is all about driver involvement. With values of these last the air cooled cars only set to go one way, there is no better time to put a 993 in your life.

In summary:

· Highly desirable six speed manual Carrera 4 Cabriolet configuration

· Thousands recently spent on making this one of the best available

· In a highly original, factory gate specification throughout
