A 'modern classic' if ever there was one. Porsche's long-running 911 sports car first appeared at the 1963 Frankfurt Show as the '901'. but had become the '911' by the time production proper commenced in 1964 following Peugeot's complaints about the use of '0' model numbers. Representing a major step forward. the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 versions - coded named '964' - were launched in 1989. the former marking the first time that four-wheel drive had been seen on a series-production 911. Porsche had experimented with four-wheel drive on the 959 supercar. and many of the lessons learned from the latter influenced the design of the 964's chassis and suspension. Face-lifted but retaining that familiar shape. the newcomers had been given a more extensive work-over mechanically. 87% of parts being claimed as entirely new. The pair shared the same 3. 6-litre. 247bhp. flat-six engine while power-assisted steering (another 911 'first'). anti-lock brakes and a five-speed manual transmission were standard on both. with the Tiptronic auto 'box a Carrera 2-only option. Its new Type M64 engine enabled the 964 to out-perform the old '3. 2' yet still met the latest emissions regulations. top speed increasing to 162mph with 60mph attainable in 5. 4 seconds (5. 6 seconds Tiptronic).

In 1993 Porsche introduced what is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all: the Type 993. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons. diluting the purity of the original form; the Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles. being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before. comprising two- and four-wheel drive models. the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible. all powered by the latest 3. 6-litre version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine.

This is a great car. ticking every box for 993 ownership. recently serviced and ready for its new home. A practical useable Classic Supercar. with 2 rear seats and belts!
