993 C4S (1996)
£104,995
993 C4S 6 speed manual transmission. First registered 05/07/1996 N-Registration. A car we know well having sold it 3 times in 10 years. Originally supplied by AFN Limited, Guildford. Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic with Marble Grey leather Hard Backed Sports Seats and Metropole Blue leather dashboard/door card tops. 1 of only 181UK RHD examples and comfortably one of the better ones. Condition is arguably subjective but in this case there are no doubts over quality. The car is not just good but superb. Original panels with exceptional bodywork, a first rate interior, unmarked wheels and equally strong mechanicals. A rare, desirable and highly collectable 993 in a strong colour scheme that drives particularly well on account of a full Center Gravity suspension refresh at 80,000 miles. Full car Paint Protection Film is very much an added bonus.

The detailed signed off his description of works with the following sentence “This car is in exceptional condition both underneath and in all visible areas“. A independent and critical eye summing up the car nicely, we feel. Detailed images to follow. Be quick though. Examples this good don’t tend to hang around.
