1993 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 Manual with A/C

K96 PCU was built for the UK market (‘C16’) in January 1992 and first registered on 1 March 1993, delivered new by JCT600. Remarkably, it has never had a plate change and remains 100% HPI clear. Finished in the RS shade ‘L37W’ Midnight Blue Metallic, it’s paired with a ‘VA’ light grey partial leather interior, an elegant combination still popular today.

As a 1993 model year car, it came from the factory with Aero/Cup mirrors and Cup Design wheels, replacing the flag mirrors and Design 90s fitted to earlier models. It has lived a life of fastidious maintenance, arguably over-serviced—as evidenced by the service book, which has had additional pages inserted. Originally maintained by official Porsche service agents, it has since been cared for by well-known specialists.

A genuine 964 tool roll (recently sourced from Tuthill and mostly complete), original books, and the spare wheel accompany the car.

Engine & Mechanical Health

Underneath the engine lid, the matching-numbers flat-six runs beautifully after 139,200 miles, a testament to careful driving and diligent servicing.

• Cam chain cover gaskets replaced and torqued correctly – oil consumption remains steady at < 250ml per 1,000 miles.

• No recorded evidence of a top-end or full engine rebuild, but a leak-down test in August 2022 confirmed excellent health across all cylinders.

• Valve clearances adjusted at the last service in 2024.

• Genuine Porsche 964 engine map chip (473-7006 version) in the ECU.

• Restored airflow meter and a thoroughly cleaned idle control valve – a smooth 800 RPM idle.

Chassis, Wheels & Braking

• Factory Cup Design wheels, recently refurbished, complete with genuine Porsche centre caps.

• Michelin PS4 tyres, fitted 8,000 miles ago.

• B16 PSS10 Coilover Suspension Kit (installed at 83,000 miles) – offering a modern driving feel with sharpened handling.

• H&R anti-roll bars, far stiffer than standard (originals included).

• Porsche 928 GTS black 4-pot brake callipers (same spec as Turbo ‘reds’), paired with drilled discs – filling the 17” Cup wheels perfectly.

Body & Interior Details

• The bodywork is in excellent condition, retaining its original colour, refinished in 2010.

• A minor rust repair was professionally completed at O’Doyles Speedshop in December 2024 (N/S/R quarter panel above the light cluster).

• Classic Retrofit Electric A/C (twin condenser) system featuring a new compressor and recent re-gas.

• Classic Retrofit uprated alternator, ensuring ample power for the air-conditioning.

• Blaupunkt Bremen radio with DAB – the DAB antenna is included but yet to be installed.

• The speedometer was refurbished, displaying MPH, with the KMH scales still visible when illuminated.

• A retrofitted onboard computer gives MPG, MPH, and temperature readouts in degrees Celsius.

• Fuel and oil level gauges replaced, ensuring perfect readability.

Exhaust & Electrical Work

• OEM Porsche exhaust system (catalytic converter and Bischoff centre muffler) fitted in 2022, with genuine Porsche fasteners, brackets, and sundries.

• New engine tinware (left, right, and rear).

• Pad Keeper installed (December 2024), tidying up sagging sound insulation in the engine bay.

• New distributor caps and rotor arms.

• All 14 HT leads replaced with OEM BERU items.

• Crank sensor upgraded to the 996 version, with a genuine Porsche wiring loom section installed.

• DME and auxiliary fan relays replaced, ensuring reliable performance.

• Door check straps renewed with genuine Porsche parts.

• All electrics function as expected – no warning lights, no hidden faults.

Final Details & Provenance

• Very low emissions recorded on the last MoT, with no advisories (valid until 02/06/2025).

• Period-correct and legal number plates fitted.

• Original Porsche leather book pack, including the Maintenance Record.

• Comes with two original keys, and yes—the key’s built-in torch works, thanks to a fresh battery.

A 964 to be Driven
