1987 Porsche Carrera Supersport Cabriolet

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963, before being replaced by the more complicated 964 series.These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torquey 231 hp ~ enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds.Cars built from September 1986 onwards received the more user-friendly G50 gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensures that these classics are long-lasting.

Supplied by John Lamb Porsche Centre in 1987, this car was highly optioned with not only the "M491' Code Supersport option package (known as the Turbo look) that includes the wide body styling of the 930 Turbo, the stiffer suspension and the larger 917-derived brakes from the 930. Also selected from the option list were a power hood, heated seats and special order colour of Cassis Red.

Showing 78,000 miles, the car has been fastidiously maintained,as is evident from its extensive service history of 13 Main dealer and various specialist stamps in the book. The car has recently also had a major service by MR Performance Porsche specialists at a cost of over £2,000 and as such is presented in excellent all round condition ready for its new owner.Only a reported 75 of these cars were built by the factory in right-hand drive so this car represents an opportunity to acquire the rarest variant of all, the wide-bodied convertible.
