Chassis Number - WPOZZZ96ZLS405870Engine Number - 62L12171

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 change of shape resulted in the 911(964) model which was initially available in four-wheel drive form, marketed as the Carrera 4 (C4).The following year, the two-wheel drive Carrera 2 arrived. When the 964 was first introduced in 1989, Porsche made a point of the fact that it was 85% different from the outgoing 911. The design featured more integrated 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. Improved aerodynamics reduced the drag coefficient down to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift greatly improved stability and road holding at high speed. A new feature was the retractable spoiler which automatically extended at 50 mph and whilst increasing the down force also doubled the volume of air intake to aid engine cooling.

Such was its success, that in the five years of production over 62,000 left the factory with 3,692 heading for UK shores.

This particular 1990 model, G571 NHL came into the current vendors hands earlier this year after being owned by one family prior to that and having covered a remarkable 22,0000 miles from new. Nearly all of the original MoTs are with the car suggesting that the mileage is correct and it does have a service history up until 1994 covering the mileage now showing, suggesting that the car has had no usage from then until now. This car will be a superb buy for someone after it has some tlc to return it to A1 condition. Ideally it will need some paintwork and a good service, including all fluid changes and a general re-commission.

The pictures show the car on incorrect wheels however, the correct ones will be coming with the car to maintain its originality.
