I am a Porsche Enthusiast. I have owned four different 911 models over the last 30 years. I am offering up for sale my 1997 993 Cabriolet Porsche. I purchased this vehicle in August 2011. Since I have purchased it, I have only logged 1000 miles in the last 22 months. Since I drive the vehicle very little, I have decided to sell it. To find this vehicle, I had searched for 6 months prior to buying this 993. I was very selective during my search as I wanted a low mileage, well maintained 993. I found this 993 pretty close to home in Michigan. The 993 presented here is a Michigan car with two previous owners. The first owner had owned the vehicle for a short time, less than a year. The second owner had owned the vehicle form 1998 to 2011. The second owner took very good care of the car. I purchased the car from the second owner. I was able to document the mileage and had a pre- purchase inspection performed prior to buying the vehicle. The pre purchase inspection included a leak down test and no issues were found. In September 2011, I took the car to an authorized Porsche Dealer in Birmingham, Michigan to have a complete 30,000 mile service check performed. At the time, I instructed the mechanic to evaluate the car and "spare no expense" to service the vehicle so I would have peace of mind. The mechanic ( whom I feel is the best air cooled guy in the area) drove the vehicle and said other than the 30,000 mile service, no other issues or maintence items were needed, that was 1000 miles ago. I have the invoice from the service and I will include this documentation with the car. This car has always been stored in a garage, it has never been driven in winter, let alone rain. The overall condition is excellent. The car has a clean undercarriage. The engine bay is very clean. The engine does not drip oil. All engine shrouds are in place. Nothing has been modified. The interior is in excellent condition. There are no rips or tears in any of the material. There is no wear on any of the leather surfaces. I have included a photo of the driver seat which shows the condition and lack of typical wear on the bolster points. The body is in very good condition. The paint is original and has a high gloss. I have included a photo of the front fender which shows the high gloss. The vehicle has been hand polished and hand waxed, always. There is no discoloration of the paint in any of the door frames or in the hood and engine compartment areas. There is one area behind the right rear wheel which has a light scratch. I have included a photo of the scratch, hopefully you will be able to see the area as it is a very light scratch. The cabriolet top is original to the car and is in very good condition. The top has been treated with Renovo Ultra Proofer every two years to insure the top remains waterproof. Water droplets still bead on the top. The cabriolet top is in excellent condition. There is one wheel that has two small chips in the finish. I have included a photo of this particuar wheel, all the other three wheel are in excellent condition, which I show one other wheel in a photo. The tires are in average condition of wear. The wheel openings are very clean and the brake calipers are clean and have the original gloss black finish. Everything on the vehicle works. There is nothing that needs to be repaired. Even the light in the engine bay works! The vehicle comes with the Cabriolet tonneau cover, wind screen, both keys, owners manual, original sales brochure from 1997, tool kit, tire inflator kit and all the paperwork and invoices that are in my possesion. My vehicle was listed in Excellence Porsche Magazine, in the Feb 2012 and again in the May 2013 ownership experience section of the magazine. This section of the magazine is about owning a Porsche and I wanted to share and document my ownership experience with other Porsche Enthusiasts. A new battery was installed in August 2011. There is no smoke from the engine when cold or warm. The windshield has no cracks or chips. The back plastic window on the Cabriolet top is clear and scratch free. Basically this vehicle needs nothing to enjoy but to be driven and maintained. The options on the vehicle are: 445 painted wheel crests, 454 cruise control, 490 hi fi sound, 551 wind deflector, 692 remote 6 disc cd. 233 I don't know what this option is, 329 CR 210 Radio, 398 five spoke 17 inch wheels, 437 full power driver seat. The car also has the Porsche Drive Block option, which is a theft deterent sysyem. I will make the vehicle available for inspection if you would like to look at it or have a professional perform an inspection for you. I will assist with any transportation arrangements including overseas shipment but at your expense. I reserve the right to end this listing early. I am selling this car as is. I will not make refunds or price adjustments after the sale. My cell number is 248- five six one- 5121, if you have questions about the vehicle. I will not disclose the reserve price, but I feel it is very realistic and in line with the current market conditions. I will require a $1000 deposit by paypal within 48 hours of the end of the auction( non refundable) I require the balance of payment to be made by wire transfer within 7 days after the auction and before the vehicle can be picked up. I have a clear title in hand with no security interest on the title. Good Luck

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum
Wed, 29 Jan 2014About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live
Fri, 13 Sep 2013That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...
