Owned for less than a month but we do love it. It is a 1995 Carrera Tiptronic-s 57,000 miles, electric/heated seats, sunroof, air-con, computer, ruffled grey leather, etc and recent full service, new discs/pads, new tyres at 56,500 miles. Mots from 2005, however it has had a new ignition barrel a while back so the drawback is two keys.
Pleasantly surprised how quiet the car is, contrary to some who said the engine would be noisy and the seats are comfortable also. Very clean underneath and appears to have had front wishbones replaced of late as seen in the underside picture.
It will not be used as an everyday car, but will be taken to classic car events and used for a tour up the west coast of Scotland in September.

Hi and welcome, that must be a very late pre varioram car, not seen a '96 one before from memory as the varioram came out in '95 :dont know:
 
Hi Alan,

I think I may of been chatting to you at the Raby Castle Classic Car Show on Fathers Day. I'm the guy with the Aventura Green 993 who had a good neb at your car and can confirm yours is a corker!

I hope you enjoy your 993 journey😉
 
Congratulations on your new purchase OP, they look so good in Guards.
 
Welcome!

Nicely spec'd interior with the extended leather. very rare on the narrow bodied cars. :thumb:

My mistake, it is a 1995 car jonttt, you are absolutely right the varioram cars were available from August 1995.

Yes Mike I did speak to you at Raby Castle and thanks for the pointers, I have been going over the car throughly and finding the odd thing here and there, no spare wheel compressor for one, not much point for carrying a spare?
 
Grats on your purchase. Tip:- fit Tore B's keyless remote then you only need one key. Also saves fumbling in the dark.
 
Hi welcome, looks in great shape and fab colour i also have a 1995 tip s NB car in GR :lol: loving the leather dash you lucky thing! Yes that is a rare touch.. dare we ask how much you payed :dont know:
No more than 25 bags we hope :grin:

Best thing I've done on mine for a while, ripped out all the previous (2) alarm systems and just have Tore's elegant solution. Retains Porsche's factory non-Thatcham alarm with red indicators on door caps flashing once locked.

PS. I had an SC back in 1980 in Guards Red (with a very dodgy pin-stripe velour and leatherette interior), cracking colour . . . loved that car!
