Rare Zenith Blue Metallic over Classic Grey leather. The 993 Carrera S is widely considered one of the most desirable variants of the air-cooled 911 — combining the iconic widebody “Turbo-look” styling with rear-wheel drive and a naturally aspirated flat-six. As the final iteration of the air-cooled era, the Carrera S offers a perfect balance between mechanical purity, timeless design, and driving engagement. For many enthusiasts, it represents the ideal blend of classic character and modern refinement.
Chassis VS310241 was delivered new in September 1996 by Sonauto in France. This particular car is factory-equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, the M220 Limited Slip Differential, and was specified without a sunroof — a detail appreciated by purists. With just 114,294 km from new, this example stands out for its exceptional originality: it remains entirely accident-free, still in its first paint, with original panels and matching-numbers engine and gearbox as delivered from the factory.
Cars of this caliber — featuring original paint, clean and unmolested undercarriage, a rare and highly desirable color combination, and a complete absence of modifications — are increasingly rare and sought after. This 993 2S is an outstanding candidate for any collector and will easily pass the most rigorous Pre-Purchase Inspection.
The car is accompanied by impeccable documentation and provenance, including the original service book, owner’s manuals, leather pouch, and an extensive file of French service history. This includes maintenance invoices, Technical Inspection reports, and period French registration documents (“Carte Grise”), documenting its known history from 1996 to the present day.
A recent, no-expense-spared service and pre-sale inspection have just been completed, ensuring this 993 Carrera S is fully prepared for its next chapter. Rare, beautifully preserved, and mechanically sorted, this Zenith Blue Metallic example is ready to be driven and enjoyed — or cherished as a standout piece in any collection.
