1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Sport Coupé

Offered here is a lovely 3.2 Carrera Sport supplied new to the UK (C-16) by AFN, Guildford and first registered in the summer of 1986. Finished in classic 911 colours with Guards Red paintwork and black, piped red sports seats and optioned from new with impact bumpers, passenger mirror, a Blaupunkt Toronto SQR 24 cassette-radio, central locking, electric adjustable sports seats, 16-inch Fuchs forged-alloy wheels, front 6-inch with 205/55, rear 7-inch with 225/50 tyres, and a rear window wiper.

Today, this wonderful example shows just 65,425 miles and presents beautifully, the Guards Red paintwork is even across the car and retains a deep gloss, the interior is clean and shows very little signs of wear, only that to be expected on a 36-year-old Porsche with relatively low mileage. A clean HPI check shows just two previous owners, no recorded damage and no outstanding finance. The service history is comprehensive and the car is accompanied by its history file which includes the original service book stamped up-to-date with the most recent maintenance completed by a highly regarded classic Porsche specialist dated August 21 with an engine and gearbox service. Also within the file, is a current V5C ready for transfer or export, the current MOT Certificate valid until September 2022, old MOTs and other supporting invoices.

These, well-built 911s from the ‘80s offer a great classic car ownership experience being quick enough and good fun to drive, comfortable with a well-finished interior, great looking with classic Porsche lines and iconic features, relatively straightforward to maintain with regional good specialist workshops and financially not too perilous as values appear to continue upwards for the right cars. Excellent examples rarely come to market and a Coupé, in great colours, with low ownership and a complete history, really does tick all the boxes.
