Porsche 993 sextet

Friends of Zuffenhausen are more likely to go for one of the six Porsche 993s from a French collection. All of them have low mileages and a Turbo S, an RS Clubsport or an RS Touring is always rare.

Further information on the auction taking place on July 5, 2014 can be found on the auction house's website.
