1991 PORSCHE 911 (964) CARRERA 2

KEY FACTS

• A highly original and tastefully specified example of the 964-era Porsche 911.
• Under the rear-mounted bonnet sits a 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine producing 250bhp, powering the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission.
• The manual Carrera 2 is often thought of as the ‘purists’ choice’, powering the rear wheels only and with a useful weight saving over the four-wheel drive variant.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 911 is finished in the smart combination of Slate Grey Metallic over Linen leather, sporting its original ‘Design 90’ 16-inch alloy wheels on Continental tyres.
• It features electrically adjustable sports seats, air conditioning, an electric sunroof and rear wiper.
• The only change from the factory specification is the addition of a modern ‘Blaupunkt Bremen’ stereo, which blends ‘90s looks with modern conveniences, including DAB radio reception, digital media interface and a Bluetooth telephone connection.
• The cherished plate ‘E61 FLY’ is included in the sale.
• The car comes with its original stamped Porsche service book including all receipts, previous MOTs and invoices. The space-saver spare wheel and jack are present.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The Slate Grey Metallic paint is in genuinely superb condition, as is to be expected following a full respray in February 2021. The wheels have also been refurbished.
• The car’s original interior is in fair to good condition. The seats display some cracking to the leather, but with no rips or tears, and would benefit from being treated or re-connolised. There is some wear to the leather trim on the handbrake handle, and the passenger-side B-pillar would also benefit from being refreshed.
• The markings on the air conditioning control unit have worn away in places.
• The electrically adjustable door mirrors both move in and out, but not up or down.
• The rear spoiler is currently non-functional due to a frayed cable in the motor assembly, and as a result, the rear spoiler warning light is illuminated.
• The most recent MOT test was in June 2021 at 122,105 miles, where the car passed on its second attempt and with no advisories after the nearside front passenger seat was correctly secured and various lights were fixed or adjusted.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car was most recently serviced in June 2021 at 122,104 miles by Malton Autocare, comprising of an oil service. Mechanics also replaced the spark plugs, fan belt, air conditioning belts, brake fluid, all filters, brake discs, pads and handbrake shoes, rear flexi-hoses and distributor cap and arms. Finally, the fuel tank was drained and flushed, the gearbox fluid was replaced, and the air conditioning system was refilled.
• The documented maintenance prior to this was in September 2009 at 118,212 miles, when the car received a full service from Porsche Centre Colchester.
• The MOT history indicates it was mainly kept off the road between 2010 and early 2021, with only one test in the interim.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 964 Carrera 2 is an attractive example of the model, delivering more than enough power from the characterful flat-six engine and offering the classic 911 experience. With only some minor attention needed to the interior, this recently resprayed Porsche is a well-presented example of the evergreen sports car that is ready to enjoy.
