SUMMARY

 

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the iconic 1950's Porsche 356 Speedster's unique low line look, Porsche produced the 911 3.2 Carrera Speedster in 1989 only, with just 2,104 made worldwide, but with very few right hand drive UK cars. Offered in narrow or turbo bodied form, the Speedster was a sleek, low swept model with a distinctive low rake windscreen and 'speed humps' behind both driver and passenger. Considered to be a very attractive design by the cognoscenti of the day, it featured the popular, powerful and reliable 3.2 Carrera engine giving 231 bhp and a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of over 150mph.

This car is a UK right-hand drive Speedster has covered just 8,163 miles from new. Supplied new by AFN Porsche London, this example was first registered on 1st August 1989 and has had only 3 previous owners. A full service history is supplied with 15 stamps in the original service book, the last of which was carried out in 2014 at 8,011 miles. In 2013 a large service was carried out by Geo Morrison Motors in Glasgow at a cost of £1,808. Offered with its original handbooks and leather wallet, a large number of previous MoT certificates help substantiate the mileage.

Evidently, this Speedster has been cherished and stored correctly all of its life. Described by the vendor as being presented in stunning order, this Speedster is finished in the most appropriate 1980's colour combination of Guards Red with cream leather interior. The bodywork and paint are in superb condition, as one would expect for such a low mileage example, and the interior has been preserved in simply faultless condition.

The 1980's Speedsters were a faithful successor to the original 356 Speedsters and consequently, prices have been steadily rising in recent years. This car is 1 of just 139 Turbo-Bodied right-hand drive cars manufactured for the worldwide market and represents an exciting opportunity for any Porsche enthusiast. We welcome any inspection on this vehicle and encourage potential buyers to arrange a viewing prior to the auction to appreciate the incredible quality of this low mileage UK car.
