1989 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Targa

The 911 3.2 Carrera, produced from 1984 to 1989 is regarded by many as one of the highlights in the evolution of the 911 thanks to the unmistakable classic looks and raw driver appeal.

The 3.2 Carrera Sport was similar in appearance to the previous SC model 911 but was, in fact, a substantial improvement over its predecessor with bigger brakes, an 80% revised flat-six engine and of course the much more approachable 5-speed Getrag, G50 gearbox.

The 911 3.2 had a redesigned engine inlet and exhaust system, along with the fitment of a service-free Digital Engine Management ignition system (DME), in conjunction with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel metering. This resulted in a significant increase in engine performance and a reduction in fuel consumption, through better engine efficiency and fuel cut-off when coasting. With a capacity of 3.2-litres, and a high compression ratio of 10.3:1, the air-cooled 6-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine produces an output of 230 bhp, at 5,900 rpm. Maximum torque is 284 Nm at 4,800 rpm, and the maximum speed, limited by electronic fuel cut-out, is 152 mph. Acceleration to 60 mph was achieved in under 6 seconds.

Our beautifully presented car is the increasingly desirable Sport Targa model originally supplied by WALDRON Porsche Canterbury and finished in Guards Red with Linen Leather piped in Red. According to its comprehensive history file, it has been meticulously cared for until 2003 at 45,302 miles (12 Stamps), and since then it has covered 3,500 miles in 14 years with a number of those years sitting in a controlled storage environment.

Our car is complete with original Books, Certificate of Authenticity, Current V5, and a fresh MOT.

This is a delightful 911 in a classic colour and represents fantastic value.
