My 993 C4 Journey

Hi guys & girls..

My latest arrivals to the garage is this 1995 C4 which will be having plenty of work done over the next 12 months including a backdate build. For those of you thinking what the bloody hell is V12, I own a dealership in central London V12 Automobil so we cover all plates.

I’ll be posting some content once the wheels arrive, I have the PCCM unit to install and will be upgrading the speakers whilst I’m at it. MoMo steering wheel goes in also which will mean that along with various interior parts I’ll list on here for sale.

The next phase will be a backdate build commencing end of 2025 I’d imagine, all being well.

I’m sure I’ll need some questions along the way but just wanted to introduce the car/myself and show the journey as we go.

Josh that sounds very interesting, a lovely acquisition, polar silver over black? did it come into you on part-ex and you liked it so much you kept it?!

All the best for your business, some high end Lambo’s there!

Being in the industry as you are I assume you have someone in mind to do the backdate work? Someone on another thread here is also looking to backdate a 993!

We all watch with interest! Would love to see pics along the way/if you turn this into a build thread.

All good sir! Late night reads after a long day can send us all a little sideways.

We actually sell Porsches mostly but they sell either before being listed or within very quick timings which leaves the website looking fairly Porsche free.

I actually bid on 3/4 964 Targa’s which was my “must get” but after researching more I think I would be best placed on a 993 to then carry out modifications as hopefully I’m never in a position to sell any of the cars I personally own and can pass them down.

I have indeed found a very well regarded company who has offered to start the work end of this year.
 
Fantastic. Yes I didn’t see any Porsche on your ‘previously sold’ section so you’ll have to tell us about a few that have been and gone on here!
clearly you have the choice to drive something different every day but hopefully you’ll get some miles on the 993 over the summer as it is now in standard spec before you hand it over at year end?

Yes unfortunately new website went live and cut a lot of previously sold off. Mostly 991/992 and plenty of cayenne hybrid’s. Attached a couple of recent cars that have made it online before sale.

Yes it’s standard form, handling pack and sports seats from factory. I’ll post up some interior photo’s and document as things change along with if anyone wants to buy/swap out any parts

Thanks Marty.

I’ve got my eye on a 964 due for sale soon, I should probably drive one before buying. Saying that I’ve never driven any of my cars before buying them as crazy as that sounds.
 
Welcome on board. Looking forward to reading about your adventures with the 993 (y)
