One to Buy: Non-sunroof 25,000km 1994 Porsche 911 3.6 Carrera Coupe (993)
When it comes to the best iteration of any given 911, there’s a strong case for that car to be a base-spec., rear-drive, non-sunroof normally aspirated Coupe.
Whereas some of Porsche’s Renn Sport 911s can be a little hardcore for certain roads and the Turbo just too heavy and powerful, a regularly damped Carrera with the stiffness of a non-sunroof shell and lightness of a lightly optioned specification can actually provide the definitive 911 driving experience.
Unfortunately, the high frequency with which customers opted for a sunroof, particularly in the 80s and 90s, makes finding such a car difficult, especially in mint unrestored low mileage condition.
One such car that fits the bill, however, is currently in the Rosier Classic Sterne showroom over in Oldenburg, Germany: an early 993-type rear-drive Carrera Coupe configured with a manual gearbox, Midnight Blue Metallic paint and Black upholstery.
It was first registered in January 1994 to a customer from Hamburg, someone who obviously loved it as the car has remained in their possession ever since. During that time a little over 25,000km has been accumulated on the odometer and the car has never received any paintwork.
Get a spare set of wheels and paint the centres matching Midnight Blue Metallic and you have a dream specification.
