The Porsche 911 (993) Targa represents a distinctive chapter in the history of the air-cooled 911.
Introduced as a more refined alternative to the traditional Targa concept, the 993 generation features an innovative full-length glass roof system, offering a unique blend of open-air feeling and everyday usability.
This particular example is a beautifully preserved and highly original car, delivered new in Germany (C00) and specified in the rarely seen Zenith Blue Metallic, perfectly complemented by a Midnight Blue leather interior, a subtle and elegant combination that suits the character of the 993 exceptionally well.
What truly sets this car apart is its outstanding provenance.
After a very brief initial period with a Porsche Center and a second short-term owner, the car has remained in the hands of its third (only 2nd privat!) owner since January 1998.
Such long-term ownership is increasingly rare and speaks volumes about the care and appreciation this car has received over more than two decades.
The overall condition, both cosmetically and mechanically, reflects a life of careful ownership and meticulous maintenance.
With just 61,500 km, the car retains a remarkably fresh and authentic driving feel. The 6-speed manual transmission further enhances the pure and engaging character that defines the air-cooled 911 experience.
Mechanically, the car has just undergone a major service in combination with a Porsche Classic Check-up at an official Porsche Center, with invoices exceeding €4,000.
This ensures that the car meets the highest standards and is ready to be driven or added to a discerning collection with complete peace of mind.
The vehicle is accompanied by a comprehensive documentation file, including the original Fahrzeugbrief, service book, manuals, touring pass, and all original booklets.
Additional period-correct features such as the original radio (with code) and factory Nokia car phone further underline the car’s authenticity.
Factory option codes include:
- 139 – Seat heating, left seat
- 340 – Seat heating, right seat
- 445 – Wheel caps with coloured Porsche crest
- 490 – Sound system
- 520 – Alarm system
- 659 – On-board computer
- 686 – Radio Porsche CDR-21
With a total production of approximately 4,583 units, the 993 Targa remains a relatively rare model within the air-cooled 911 lineage.
Finding a German-delivered, manual example with such low mileage, complete history, long-term ownership, and full originality is becoming increasingly difficult.
In summary, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly authentic and collectible Porsche 993 Targa, offered in a refined colour combination, with outstanding provenance and in exceptional condition throughout.
