This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet of the 993 generation is offered by Joe Macari in London. Midnight Blue Metallic bodywork, a dark blue fabric roof and Marble Grey with Midnight Blue leather distinguish this right-hand-drive example. The seller identifies it as a UK C16 car supplied by Stratstone and lists 17-inch New Cup Design wheels and a top-tinted windscreen among its documented specification.
The six-speed manual transmission accompanies the air-cooled 3.6-litre flat-six with VarioRam. Porsche’s own history identifies the 1996 model-year engine at 209 kW and 285 PS; the advertisement instead writes 285 bhp. Those different unit labels should not be conflated with a measured output for this individual car. The dealer separates a claimed completion date of 18 July 1996 from first registration on 2 August 1996.
Advertised mileage is 44,050 miles, approximately 70,892 km. An undated instrument photograph reads 44,041 miles, consistent with an earlier image but not a dated service record. Project Nine Engineering servicing in August 2026 at 43,192 miles is asserted by the seller, alongside invoices, MOT records and a Certificate of Authenticity. A modern Blaupunkt DAB and Bluetooth unit is also listed. Inspect that documentation, roof operation, body condition and service chronology before committing.
