1989 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 3.2 SSE CABRIOLET - G50 - 33,840 MILES

KEY FACTS

• A very good example of the renowned ‘80s sports car, with very low mileage from new.
• Under the engine lid is the 228bhp 3.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, driving the rear wheels via the five-speed G50 manual transmission.
• Originally delivered in May 1989 to Monarch Porsche in Warwick, this 911 benefits from a main dealer and specialist maintenance history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Finished in Guards Red over a black leather and ‘script’ cloth interior, this 911 has arguably the definitive 1980s colour scheme for the model.
• It was specified from the factory with the desirable ‘Super Sport Equipment’ package, which consists of 911 Turbo-style flared wheel arches, a black lip spoiler at the front and the ‘whale tail’ spoiler at the rear. It also included the axle brackets and stabilisers from the Turbo, along with the more powerful brakes.
• The cabin is equipped with electrically adjustable front seats, the High Fidelity speaker system and an aftermarket Sony stereo.
• It has been fitted with a ‘Club Sport’ style steering wheel.
• Its original owner’s manual, service book and tool roll will be included, alongside a large folder of maintenance invoices.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its Guards Red paintwork is in generally excellent condition, as shown in the photo gallery below.
• Inside, its black leather and fabric upholstery is in great shape, with an attractive original appearance and only the slightest signs of wear to the outer seat bolsters.
• Its soft-top roof appears to fit very well, with the mechanism working as it should. The soft-top has a small tear around one inch long in a crease on the rear passenger side, though a previous local repair has been done to prevent it from getting larger. This is minor damage that does not detract from the impressive appearance, though the vendor understands that Southbound can carry out a complete replacement for £2,800 should the next owner desire.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 23 February 2021 at 33,819 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent scheduled maintenance was in November 2018 at 33,597 miles, where technicians at HP Porsche in Ilford also replaced the bonnet dampers and the brake fluid reservoir.
