1997 Porsche 993 Targa - Upgraded by RUF

History

Delivered new on 20th March 1997 via Porsche Zentrum Giessen (Germany) to first owner Mr Wolfram, finished in Ocean Blue Metallic coachwork with full Black leather interior and six speed manual transmission and comprehensive options (listed below)

Maintained by Porsche Giessen during Mr Wolfram’s ownership until the Targa was sold in 2001 to Mr Pappalardo of Munich, Germany, at which point the mileage read just over 51,000 kms. The Targa was maintained by Porsche Zentrum Munich during his ownership with services at 51,232 kms, 65,283kms and 77,486kms in 2007

The Targa was sold in 2008 by Mr Pappalardo to the third owner, Mr Schouten and registered in the Netherlands where he resided. The Targa remained in Holland in 2014 when it was acquired by the current owner, a noted European sports car enthusiast and collector, with mileage just over 90,000kms

The Targa was sent to Porsche tuning house RUF Automobile GmbH in December 2014 where it was fitted with RUF sport suspension, RUF strut tower brace, RUF exhaust with by-pass valve, RUF Motronic upgrade, RUF short shift gearchange and replacement catalytic pipe, creating an extremely potent and exciting 993 Targa in the process

Today this 993 presents very well and is a joy to drive with the aforementioned performance enhancements. Supplied with the original owners wallet, original service book and handbooks, this highly optioned 993 Targa is arguably the best of its type that we have experienced
