The air-cooled Porsche 911 (993) continues to anchor the European collector market, and this 1997 Carrera 2 Cabriolet distinguishes itself less by rarity of model and more by specification. Finished in Ocean Blue Metallic over a full green leather interior with a matching blue soft top, the color combination gives this rear-wheel-drive cabriolet a distinctly unique character.

According to the selling dealer, the car was delivered new through Porsche in the brand’s hometown of Stuttgart and first registered on March 26, 1997. It remains a German-market example and is described as accident-free and repaint-free, with two owners from new. The odometer reads 126,965 kilometers, and the car is said to have been serviced in accordance with Porsche’s maintenance schedule, with records maintained in the service book.

Ocean Blue Metallic was a period-correct 993 color and not uncommon in isolation. Paired with a full green leather cabin, however, the effect is notably distinctive. The interior extends beyond seat surfaces to include leather-trimmed elements throughout, creating a cohesive and highly specified environment that reflects late-1990s Porsche customization trends. The blue convertible top completes a coordinated exterior presentation rather than contrasting with it.

Power comes from the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. As a Carrera 2, this example retains the traditional rear-drive layout favored by many purists. Factory equipment listed includes heated front seats, electric seat adjustment, cruise control, air conditioning, on-board computer, Porsche CR-21 radio with CD changer, 18-inch Techno wheels, headlight cleaning system and a factory-lowered suspension setup.

Additional features include a wind deflector, sound package, immobilizer, anti-theft wheel devices and a 92-liter fuel tank. The car is described as being in collector condition and is offered under §25a differential taxation, relevant for EU buyers.

The vehicle is currently offered for sale in Starnberg, approximately 30 kilometers from Munich, by a dealer that also operates as an official Ferrari service partner. For buyers seeking an air-cooled 993 Cabriolet with documented German delivery and an uncommon interior specification, this Ocean Blue over green example stands out as a period-correct yet individualized configuration within the broader 911 market.
