This 1997 Porsche 911 Targa 993 is a used car showing 181,695 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Midnight Blue with a Grey interior.

A British-market C16 car, this 993 Targa came from AFN Ltd, the Porsche West London centre, and was registered for the first time on 9 January 1997, in Midnight Blue over Marble Grey hide.

Its stamped service record runs from June 1998 at about 17,700 km to August 2014 at about 175,500 km, and it has now covered about 181,700 km. The handbooks, two sets of original keys, the tool kit and jack come with it, and the sound system has been upgraded with Alpine and Audison equipment.

The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

FAQ

This Porsche 911 Targa in the European market

Is this Porsche 911 Targa priced above or below the European market?

At £62,900, about €73,378, it sits below the median of €93,700 for the 6 Porsche 911 Targa advertised in Europe in 2026. 0% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Porsche 911 Targa be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in London, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Porsche 911 Targa cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €74,137 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at £62,900, about €73,378 at the LUSSO indicative rate, 1% below that figure in nominal terms. The seller does not state the VAT basis of this price, so the gap is an indication, not a measured discount or premium. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1996 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Porsche 911 Targa compare?

181,695 km recorded, against a median of 27,110 km across the Porsche 911 Targa advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Porsche 911 Targa are priced closest to this one?

a 1985 car in Switzerland at €85,220, and a 1969 car in Germany at €87,900. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Porsche 911 Targa, and how does a purchase work?

BOB FORSTNER, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 911 Targa be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
