1984 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 3.2

KEY FACTS

• A wonderfully usable and well-specified example of the desirable air-cooled sports car.

• Power comes from a 228bhp 3.2-litre flat-six engine, which is coupled to the early ‘915’ five-speed manual transmission.

• There is a good service evidencing the mileage accrual, along with numerous invoices for work including a recent engine top-end and gearbox rebuild.

• Originally registered in 1984 and delivered new to Germany, this left-hand-drive example was imported to the UK, and re-registered during 2003.

• It is equipped with the Sport specification Bilstein shock absorbers.

 EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The impressive factory specification on this 911 includes numerous upgrades beyond the Bilstein shock absorbers, including an 85-litre fuel tank, sunroof and forged alloy wheels, rear seat belts and the more powerful battery.

• Included with the vehicle is an impressive history file, such as the original German Fahrzeugbrief (vehicle title), stamped service booklet, numerous invoices, every MOT since 2003, and pictures of the aforementioned engine and gearbox rebuilds, plus documentation of bodywork repairs that were carried out before the vendor’s ownership.

 CONDITION

• There is no known accident damage to the vehicle. Prior to the vendor’s ownership the kidney bowls and door sills were replaced due to common corrosion, and the vehicle has recently had some bodywork carried out to tidy up other minor rust spots.

• The Slate Blue (L661) paintwork is now in very good condition throughout, with only some minor marks noted around the offside door and lower front splitter along with the usual smattering of stone chips.

• Inside, the upholstery is believed to be original, with the front seats in particular showing modest wear commensurate with the age and mileage.

• The carpets, dashboard and headliner all appear to be in very good condition for their age, with the latter not showing any signs of sagging or damage.

• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.

• The most recent MOT test took place on 08 October 2020, and resulted in a clean first-time pass with no advisories.

• This 911 Carrera 3.2 retains its original engine and gearbox.
