Significantly, following remedial repairs to the usual 993 scuttle areas etc. the car had a complete repaint in its original shade of Ocean blue metallic. Carried out towards the end of 2021 by Kent based SP Vehicle Repairs, accompanied by photographs of the process. This 1997 RHD 993 Targa manual is one of just a suggested figure of 333 which came to the UK. Why they were so rarely ordered is a mystery, probably to do with the cost. However, in today’s market, these classic 911 have a lot to offer the enthusiast. The original radio/cassette has been replaced with a retro-styled Blaupunkt Valencia unit, adding DAB+ and RDS radio, Bluetooth hands-free connectivity, plus USB and AUX inputs. Offering the classic air cooled Porsche experience, yet totally usable on a daily basis on modern roads, a 993 makes real sense; great performance and driver feedback, ideal for enjoying those B road blasts or setting off on a European tour.
