The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.

The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, producing a torque-rich 231 bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupe to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.

The sparkling 911 offered here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, C16 Coupe fitted with the desirable G50, 5-speed gearbox and the UK 'Sport' package that included Fuchs alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroof. It's been enjoyed by our vendor for over 15 years and it remains in lovely original condition and drives accordingly. Servicing has been thorough and regular throughout the car’s life, although annual mileage has been kept to sunny high days and holidays. It's just been collected from a highly respected Porsche specialist, who has maintained the car for many years, where it was treated to its annual service and MOT with no faults reported. Presenting in original period Guards Red with a smart black interior, the car boasts a very original look with a clean bill of health and accident free history.

For those not familiar with eighties 911s, 3.2 Carreras, particularly with the 5-speed box, are the models that help as much as any previous 911 model to define the true wonder of driving a 'Neunelfer'. Having covered just 58,000 miles from new, this is both a useable and recognised classic but may also prove to be an astute investment over time.
