Recent suspension refresh and full four-wheel alignment in addition to a brand new fabric power fold roof finished in black.  A particularly well-sorted car mechanically with an equally impressive level of cosmetic presentation.

A well-optioned, well-sorted, and beautifully presented Varioram 993 Cabriolet with manual transmission and low mileage in a strong colour scheme. Not many of these with full black interiors combining nicely with the fresh black fabric roof to complement the gleaming Arctic Silver coachwork. From the collection of a long-term friend and client of ourselves and as such a car we know the provenance of.
