1989 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 3.2 SUPER SPORT - G50 - 21,798 MILES

KEY FACTS

• A remarkably original example of the desirable air-cooled modern classic, presented in excellent condition and backed by a detailed service history.
• Under the rear engine lid is the 228bhp 3.2-litre flat-six, which drives the rear wheels via an engaging five-speed Getrag G50 transmission.
• The car is fresh from a comprehensive service, which was carried out in April 2021 by renowned marque specialist Steve Bull Specialist Cars.
• One of only 66 such Super Sport 911s supplied to the UK in 1989, this example was acquired by the seller four years ago in December 2016 from Hexagon for £99,000 and has been driven sparingly and kept as part of a large private collection.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• As a Super Sport Equipment model, the car combines the naturally aspirated flat-six engine with the 930 Turbo’s wide body, stiffer suspension and uprated brakes.
• Today, this 911 is as it left the factory, finished in its original Guards Red paintwork and with a black leather interior accented by red piping.
• The car will be supplied with all of its original handbooks, its past MOT test certificates and documentation of its service history.
