Damian, that's a damn good car and honestly you should think about it since you have a tendency to sell amazing cars then regret that move (TDF, F40 for example).

I would have kept this car and the Ferrari TDF forever. Wonderful video.

In my humble opinion, The only way this move make sense is if the new car is an upgrade … 993 Turbo

I honestly thought you’d talked yourself into keeping it! You’re going to regret it!!😢

I feel like this car was owed more than you gave it. From the off it was a ‘drunken purchase’, it felt like it was an awkward, unwanted child in the garage. For a bona fide classic (as I’m sure many viewers will agree) there was very little content on this fabulous curio. If I might be so bold, this felt more like a sales pitch than a goodbye video…..

@@gregrolfe3505Nothing wrong with his using his KZread channel to give him more exposure when selling a car. These channels take TONS of work to keep going and the guy should benefit from it this way. It’s great for the buyer too…gives a transparency to the car that many buyers don’t normally get.

That’s a gorgeous 993. I almost bought a guards red 993 C4S aerokit manual circa 2010. Had 30k miles price was $32k. I hesitated for a few hours and someone grabbed it! Still kicking myself! I bought a 1996 C4 instead. More miles and more money but it was a great car. I sold it way before prices got crazy.

Damian, such an enjoyable video, thank you so much, you made my evening! ❤❤ agreed with everything you said about the 993, love my C2 coupé. I was telling myself he is going to get a C2S before you spoke about your future 993 plans. Would be awesome if you’d buy every one of these 993 you mentioned (not all at the same time 😂). Most British color combo you could ever dream of in a 993 👍it’s funny how wide the C4S is on British B-roads. I would love for you to compare your driving experience of your 991 Touring vs your future 993 C2S 😊😅

Stunning. A 993 is definitely on my list one day. Rather than going newer than my 981 I think a 993 would be perfect. And, for me, it’s still the ultimate 911.

Thanks, great video. I sold my 993 C4 in 2022 twenty years after I bought it. It was also a late 1997 car in immaculate standard condition. It took me about 10 years to actually part with it as every time I thought about selling it I couldn’t bring myself to part with it but in the end I let it go. I have moved on and have no regrets. Thanks again.

Green looks great on this! Note: it was the 964 which nearly broke Porsche. The 993 greatly reduced manufacturing costs.

And the new car is........? ( Great beans 😊 )

Less is more with a 993. The manual Carrera is a pure expression of a 911. A 993 S, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S for collectors. A basic manual 993 Carrera is for drivers to wring it out and stick 250k+ miles on it.

Wondering if you're having seller's regret? A good replacement would have been the '96 or '97 993/911turbo. I regretted selling mine and still do especially since prices for them are through the roof.

Love the 993, the targa is super good value if I had the cash.

I thought the spoiler gave it more of a GT2 look. Lovely looking car and green is the colour of the moment imo.

Changed my mind. This guy is spot on

993 was the last Porsche I really liked. Off to look at Octane now

Yeah, such a lovely car

please, please, please not let it be another Ferrari that replaces the 993.

Damian, please don’t sell it! The 993 in this understated colour combo, reminded me of my 8v Saab 900 turbo! The 993 is a legend! You will kill yourself once it’s gone! 😢

His Moncler jacket cost more than my months paycheck 😂

If you buy a 993 Turbo S in burgandy I might forgive you. Cool as the 993 RS is there are probably better options for the money. Harry Metcalf showed the way with his RS replica a couple of years ago, perfectly drivable without being silly money. Why not a 996 GT2? They're more accessible or am I mystaken?

@TheCarGuysTV

5 ай бұрын

They are more accessible

Noooo! Some cars you SHOULD keep, this is one of those cars 🥺

It's a lovely lovely car and I do love the 4S widebody . However I must say your description of how it is "so classic and is the perfect bridge of the classic 60's/70's 911 with modern tech " has been taken from the global opinion of the more highly sought after 964 model , to give your 993 an added desirability ? The 993 totally revamped shape with softened sloping front lost the iconic/classic silhouette and gained more modern suspension. Some people prefer the 993 ( more modern), some the 964 which is more visceral .😊 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder too .

Would have sold other cars like the BMW750i. When parts become a nightmare due to failing supply chains, the 993 is probably one of the few cars, without computers etc., that will drive happily! Your Landrover and 993 will be your runners & most dependable cars!

Yes

Exactly same colour as mine and the interior

I would swap for a 993RS, a Komfort spec. But hard to find. Perfect for road use.
