Current ownership since 1991 and just one previous owner
Notably nice and highly original example!
Accompanied by the book pack with stamped service book
Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3. 2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model's 3164cc (hence '3. 2') flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5. 3 seconds and a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios were slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner - the Achilles heel of the earlier engines. Early examples of the 3. 2 employed the 915 type manual gearbox with reverse gear located beneath fifth, while 1987 to 1989 models had the stronger G50 unit in which reverse was located beside the fifth ratio. During 1984, an optional 'Sport' pack became available, comprising of a deeper front valance, 'tea tray' rear spoiler, stiffer Bilstein dampers and 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels with Black centres.
Supplied new by Charles Follett Limited of London on the 19th of May 1988, the 911 offered was finished from the factory in Venetian Blue paintwork with Marine Blue leather interior upholstery and was specified with the optional equipment of the Sport pack from new, as well as Blaupunkt radio, two rear speakers, sunroof, green windscreen gradual tint, velour carpet for the luggage compartment, and automatic three-point rear belts. Purchased into the late vendor’s ownership in August 1991 from Porsche agents Parker & Parker of Kendal, the 911 Sport at this time had covered a total of just c. 32, 800 miles from new. The late owner’s pride and joy throughout the rest of his life, the Porsche was mollycoddled, being used sparingly for special occasions and therefore has only covered a further 5, 000 miles approximately, bringing the total mileage now is a mere 38, 000 miles from new, covered in the hands of just two owners.
The late vendor, a qualified mechanic who spent his whole working life in the motor trade, self-maintained the 911 throughout his custodianship, with the Porsche understood to have been serviced annually by him. Sadly, on offer now due to the vendor's passing, the 911 is due to be supplied with a fresh MOT certificate in time for sale. The accompanying history file comprises the book pack in the Porsche wallet, including the original stamped service book, a large collection of previous MOTs back to 1992, and a current V5C document (showing two former keepers due to the Porsche being transferred into his wife’s name since passing). A notably nice and highly original example, the 911 is believed to still be wearing all of its factory paintwork and retaining its original interior!
This is a truly excellent and genuine example of a Porsche model that is becoming increasingly sought after, it is ideally suited to a serious collector or discerning enthusiast seeking one of the finest surviving examples of the celebrated air-cooled era.
