DESCRIPTION
With its distinctive shape and totally individual character the 911 has appealed to driving enthusiasts since its introduction in 1963. In 1989 the first major update resulted in the 964 model in the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 with a 250 bhp 3.6 litre engine (Built on the experience of the Porsche 959). A year later followed the two-wheel drive Carrera 2 identical in every way apart from the transmission. Production of these cars ran from 1989 up until 1993 and the introduction of the 993. During this period some 3,692 were imported into the United Kingdom.
If you're after one of the best future classics that money can buy then this stunning 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet should be on the top of your shopping list. Finished in Slate Grey metallic, with contrasting Silk Grey leather interior and brand new black mohair roof this car looks absolutely gorgeous from any angle. We are informed by the vendor that the mileage of 80,983 is warranted and is supported by a substantial service history and service invoices to match, this car was originally supplied to Jersey and was bought to the UK in 2012.
It is reported that the car fires at the first turn of the key and settles to a smooth idle, with all gauges showing nominal readings, inspiring confidence at all times. The brakes are effective and bite when prompted, and all suspension bushes and springs offer no squeaks or rattles and give reassurance that this car has lived a cosseted existence. Mechanically this car delivers to; there is no other mechanical device to match the sound of one of these engines on full song. We are told performance is very strong, and the overused cliché that 'it would make an ideal daily driver' is absolutely spot on.
The bodywork of this Porsche retains a deep lustre throughout, panel gaps suggest the structure is straight and taut and contrast beautifully with the grey leather interior, which is described as also being in superb condition throughout with all gauges and switches working perfectly.
Cars like this are a testament to their careful loving owners; we are informed by the vendor that this car also benefits from a recent major service and the addition of RS alloys. Sold with its original hand pack and books this particular Porsche is a tempting proposition and we doubt you will find a better car for the money.
(Please note this car will not be sold with the number plate shown but and age related plate issued from the DVLA.)
