This 993-generation Porsche 911 Carrera is a smart and lightly refreshed example of the desirable air-cooled modern classic sports car, finished in a head-turning factory colour, and benefitting from a previous engine rebuild. Resting over the rear wheels is an air-cooled 3.6-litre ‘VarioRam’ flat-six, paired with an engaging six-speed manual transmission and an aftermarket limited-slip differential. The odometer shows 324,818 kilometres from new, however the car’s engine was rebuilt in March 2021, and it has only covered around 11,500 Km since. An original right-hand drive, ‘C23-code’ Australian-market example, this 911 was delivered new to Porsche Centre Brisbane in June 1996. It is reported to have had only two keepers from new, and has been well-cared for by the seller for the last 12 years. This 911 Carrera is finished in the vibrant hue of Speed Yellow, over a partially reupholstered cabin with leather-trimmed seats, yellow contrast stitching, and aluminium-look gauge faces. It rides on a refurbished set of 17-inch ‘Cup 2’ alloy wheels, framing black brake callipers and shod in Nexen N'Fera SUR4G tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes a rear wiper, an electric sunroof, air conditioning, automatic speed control, stainless-steel door entry guards with ‘Carrera’ logos, an eight-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, and a top-tinted windscreen. An aftermarket limited-slip differential has been fitted, as well as a Parrot stereo head unit, however the seller notes that the original Becker radio / CD player will also be supplied with the vehicle. The car will also be supplied with its original logbooks and service invoices contained in the correct Porsche-branded wallet, two keys, and a small box of spare parts. Please note: The cherished number plate shown on the car is not included in the sale. The seller notes that the front and rear bumpers have been replaced due to low-speed impacts, the door handles have been resprayed, and the lower passenger-side front bumper insert is not correctly aligned. The Speed Yellow paintwork is described by the seller as being in good condition, with some general use-related marks around the car, including stone chips on the front end, around the wheel arches, and on the sills. Inside, the seats have been retrimmed in black leather, which the seller notes matches the original pattern. The cabin presents very well overall, with some minor creasing on the upholstery, light wear on the centre of the steering wheel, and a general light ‘patina’ on the original gauges, but no signs of undue wear. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard. The car’s last WLD roadworthiness test was conducted on 31 October 2022 at 324,356 Km, resulting in a pass. This 911 Carrera’s most recent maintenance was carried out in October 2022 at 324,356 Km by DHM Auto Solutions, which included a general check-over, replacing a cracked right-hand fog light assembly, replacing both headlamp lenses, renewing the final drive seals, and topping up the oil. Prior to this, DHM performed a routine post-engine rebuild service in April 2021 at 314,116 Km, which including an engine oil and filter change, along with a wheel alignment, clearing the sunroof drains, and rebuilding the rear left CV joint. As mentioned above, the technicians at DHM Automotive rebuilt the car’s engine in March 2021 at 313,264 Km, as well as replacing the clutch, and having the alloy wheels refurbished. The owner stresses that all necessary repairs have been carried out, including minor items like visor clips, sunroof cables and the rear wing shield. The air conditioning unit has been replaced during the seller’s 12-year care. There is a gap in the service history as the original owner did not immediately supply the logbook following the seller’s purchase. Services from that interval have been recorded at Porsche Centre Brisbane, where the seller notes the car’s full history is kept. 04/10/96 - 5,032 kilometres - Austral Motors Porsche 10/02/97 - 10,828 kilometres - Gold Coast Porsche 20/03/98 - 14,286 kilometres - Trivett Prestige Sport 06/04/99 - 31,805 kilometres - Porsche Centre Melbourne 30/11/99 - 42,962 kilometres - Porsche Centre Melbourne 28/06/00 - 50,155 kilometres - Porsche Centre Gold Coast 17/04/01 - 62,229 kilometres - Austral Motors Porsche 13/02/02 - 74,953 kilometres - Austral Motors Porsche 04/04/02 - 76,674 kilometres - Austral Motors Porsche 10/12/02 - 85,274 kilometres - Austral Motors Porsche 23/12/03 - 100,588 kilometres - Austral Motors Porsche 22/06/05 - 118,154 kilometres - Porsche Centre Brisbane 28/11/13 - 240,193 kilometres 04/05/17 - 291,831 kilometres - Superior Automotive Group 01/09/22 - 322,941 kilometres - DHM Auto Solutions Widely sought-after as the last of the air-cooled 911s, and boasting significant development from its predecessor, the 993-generation 911 is a true modern classic.
