1988 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 3.2 SPORT CABRIOLET

KEY FACTS

• A stylish open-top 1980s sports car, with low mileage for its age.
• It is powered by the 228bhp 3.2-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, driven through the rear wheels via the five-speed ‘G50’ manual transmission.
• It is fresh from a very recent service in July 2021.
• An original UK-market car first registered in August 1988, it has just five registered keepers from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 911 features the desirable ‘Sport’ package, with upgraded Bilstein shock absorbers, sport seats, a black lip spoiler at the front and the ‘whale tail’ spoiler at the rear.
• This example was specified in the iconic Guards Red paintwork, black leather upholstery with red piping, electric windows, electrically adjustable seats and an immobiliser.
• A modern Kenwood stereo head unit has been installed, but otherwise the car remains wonderfully original.
• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included, along with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.

CONDITION

• There is no known prior bodywork damage.
• Its Guards Red paintwork is in good condition, though it now presents with a few blemishes. Small stone chips can be seen on the bonnet and front bumper, with a notable graze to the nearside front corner, along with some light marks around the door handles and wheel arches.
• The black plastic bumper trims are slightly discoloured, and there is some obvious wear to the offside rear quarter trim.
• Inside, its black leather upholstery has some light creasing, but there are no rips or tears. The cabin is still in very good order for its age.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 4 February 2021 at 52,359 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in July 2021 at 52,359 miles, where technicians at Clichy Car Services in London performed an interim service, an under-body inspection and a system reset, replacing the engine oil, filter, sump plug, seal, spark plugs and battery.
• This was a light recommissioning service, as the car had been carefully stored off the road for around seven years.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport Cabriolet is a very good example of the open-top classic sports car, with low mileage and a popular factory colour scheme. Fresh from a recent service, it is ready for immediate use on B-road jaunts or for top-down weekend touring.
