Total 911 assesses the rare and unusual Neunelfers currently for sale from around the world

Spotted loves a special 993 – as witnessed by last month’s one-of-one 993 GT2 Evo Harlequin – and we’ve found another raregroove car for sale at noted Porsche specialists Workshop 5001 in California (www.workshop5001. com). It’s the 993 Speedster, the car that never was – at least in series production guise. Porsche made one in 1995: the green Tiptronic 993 Speedster built as a 60th-birthday gift to Ferdinand Alexander (Butzi) Porsche. Another followed in 2001, when American comedian and actor Jerry Seinfeld asked nicely that Porsche take back the 993 4S Cabriolet he’d ordered in 1998 and turn it into a Speedster, and Porsche obliged.
