Classic Air-Cooled Excellence

New Zealand New · Varioram · Three Owners · 120,000 km

This Porsche 993 occupies a special place in 911 history as the final air-cooled generation, combining classic Porsche character with modern drivability. In Cabriolet form, it delivers one of the most engaging and usable open-top 911 experiences ever produced.

This example is a New Zealandnew 1997 Carrera Cabriolet, fitted with the desirable Varioram induction system, introduced late in the 993 production run. As one of the final NZ-new air-cooled 911s sold with this upgrade, it represents the most developed evolution of Porsches air-cooled flat-six.

Power comes from the 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six, with Varioram variable-length intake runners improving mid-range torque and overall flexibility. The result is a 993 that feels notably stronger and more responsive across real-world driving conditions, while retaining the mechanical sound and character that define the air-cooled era.

The current owner has held the car since 2012, with servicing consistently completed on schedule by Nathan Graham, a respected Porsche specialist at Eurok Ltd in Dunedin, who knows the vehicle intimately. The car has been mostly garaged and used regularly as a second vehicle, typically on fine-weather drives, rather than being stored unused.

This is a genuine, well-kept 993, not an over-restored or modified example. It retains its original radio and CD stacker, and the sale includes full service records covering the current owners 13-year custodianship.

With three owners from new, modest mileage at 120,000 km, full service history, specialist care, and the highly desirable Varioram specification, this New Zealandnew 993 Cabriolet represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a properly maintained, correctly used example of Porsches last air-cooled 911. Comes with two original keys.
