SUMMARY
A 'C16' UK-supplied, right-hand drive, G50 gearbox, 911 with only 18,260 miles from new.
DESCRIPTION
- Just 18,260 miles recorded from new and only three recorded keepers
- The Coupe that captured the imagination of collectors and enthusiasts worldwide
- Presented in stunning Grand Prix White with the vastly improved and desirable G50 Getrag gearbox
- Condition throughout is exemplary as you would expect with such low mileage
- Galvanised body combined with Porsche legendary build quality ensures longevity
The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980's sports cars.
The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupe to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 'Getrag' gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.
Supplied new in Co. Antrim by Issac Agnew Ltd in February 1988 and finished in the classic Porsche combination of Grand Prix White with a Black interior, this 3.2 Carrera is presented in outstanding condition throughout which reflects the current low mileage and the care and attention clearly lavished upon it over the years. Complete with its original book pack including the Blaupunkt instruction book, various old tax discs and a spare set of keys.
This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.
