⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Probably one of the prettiest silhouette cars ever produced.

By the early ’80s, Porsche was at a crossroads with the 911’s future. Earmarked for deletion, a change of heart and a revival of the Carrera name proved to be a turning point for the 911. Offered with three body shapes a Coupe, a Targa, and a Cabriolet, all sporting a new, improved 3.2-litre engine.

The 3.2 Carrera launched in ’83 and, although it was very similar to the outgoing SC, it had numerous technical improvements. The most notable was the new, larger 3,164cc engine that featured a digital Motronic engine management system and Bosch LE-Jetronic fuel injection, raising power from ~204 bhp to ~231 bhp, with a top speed of 152 mph.

This example is one of the last of the G-bodied 911s, featuring the iconic whale tail and the desirable G50 five-speed gearbox. It is also a “Sport” - a UK dealer-only, high-specification car over the standard Carrera 3.2, and is coming to sale from over ~17 years of enthusiast ownership with our vendor, who has just carried out a full service on the car with new spark plugs, fresh oil and oil filter. In Paul's ownership no expense has been spared keeping this 911 well maintained, he has spent over £22,000. The kidney bowls were subject to a restoration, if you know these cars, you'll know how big a job this is.
