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, producing 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 galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.
This JCT 600 Newcastle-supplied Carrera Sport is presented in the most recognisable of Porsche colours - Guards Red ( G1G1 ) with a contrasting black leather interior and is a standard factory 'Sport' model with Fuchs alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroof.
Having been with its present owner for in excess of twenty-two years, very reluctantly the time has come for this 80s sports 'classic' to move on to pastures new. The condition throughout is a true credit to the owner who is a Porsche Club GB member, which is reflected in the extensive service history in the accompanying dealer service records. Twenty-nine stamps in total, ten from Porsche main dealers and the remainder by marque specialists, and less than two hundred miles since the last entry at 66,414 miles. The accompanying history file includes a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the original handbooks, and a host of MOT Certificates dating back to 1997, highlighting its light use in recent years. It should also be noted that recent 'works' include new tyres, calipers, replacement brake pipes and partial stainless steel exhaust,
This is simply a lovely and genuine example of one of the most popular and sought-after Porsche models that has very clearly been loved and cherished. With Carrera 3.2 values starting to gain momentum once again, this is an opportunity that warrants your very serious consideration.
