Highlights

Overview & Highlights

This classic 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera, finished in Arctic Silver Metallic paint, represents the pinnacle of the 993 generation. This 993 Carrera coupe was originally sold by Momentum Porsche in Houston, Texas, United States and was imported to the United Arab Emirates after being sold in 2022 here.

At the heart of this 911 is a robust 3.6-liter M64 flat-six engine mated to a 6-speed manual transaxle that delivers one of the greatest driving experiences with a smooth power delivery. This car is offered through the private Rare Breeds Automotive collection with the original manufacturer’s documents, service records, a clean history and 1 key.

This particular model, with its low mileage and excellent condition, including all original paint and no accident history, represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Porsche history that continues to appreciate in value. The 993 generation is often regarded as the last of the truly classic 911s, combining traditional Porsche air-cooled engineering with modern advancements. It wears its blemishes proudly as a true driver’s example, and extensive and highly desirable suspension, shifter and exhaust upgrades. If you want to enjoy what this generation has to offer to its fullest extent, this is the car to bid on.

Don’t miss your chance to own this stunning 1997 Porsche 993 911!

The six-digit odometer shows 71k miles, approximately 1k of which have been added during current ownership. Please note the total mileage is unknown. Odometer gear failure on 993s is known to fail.

Known Flaws

  • Minor faults include a faulty wing control and temperature control in the A/C system.
  • Overall, the interior is in good condition with some wear and tear on the seats.
  • The trunk lining is slightly misaligned but does not affect functionality.
  • The exterior is in good condition with minor faults, including some alignment issues with the trunk lid.
  • The seller notes the exhaust tips are not aligned correctly due to clearance issues with the aftermarket catalytic converters.
  • Seller notes when the car sits for extended time periods, the timing covers weep oil.
  • In reference to the exterior fault in the inspection report the previous seller states:

    • ‘Its been ‘repaired’ and works, just is a little ‘ugly’ so we felt it needed to be mentioned to not be a surprise for the buyer.
    • Unfortunately a comprehensive repair from behind is a huge amount of work to do on the bodywork of a car with original paint. So often they’re done like this externally as the lesser of two evils on a common issue.
