1989 Porsche 964 Carrera 2

When the Porsche 964 was introduced in 1989 it was 85% different to the outgoing 911. The design incorporated more integral bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, most significant of which was the introduction of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc producing 250bhp. Power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Such was its success, that in the five years of production over 62,000 left the factory. The Porsche 964 Carrera 2 was surprisingly the only 911 the factory badged as such. This manual 1989 Porsche Carrera 2 was professionally converted at a cost of £100,000 to PCGB Championship regs. In 2010 this car won the Porsche Club GB Championship (Class One) in the hands of the previous owner Marcus Carniel, winning several rounds outright along the way. With just three owners and an odometer reading of 65,300 miles, the car has benefited from a programme of mechanical works at a cost of £10,000 that included an engine and gearbox rebuild. Paint correction works were carried out at a cost of £1,000 and works to the electrics including re-wiring came to another £1,000. The car has travelled few miles since, due to the current owner's ill health, the reason for the regretful sale. Offered with an MoT until July 2016, this 'on the button' Porsche is road registered and suitable for sprints, hill climbs, rallies and of course track days. At this guide price, and with race winning history, this car offers entry level Porsche competition opportunities for a fraction of the price of its contemporaries.
