SUMMARY

A superbly presented and freshly recommissioned, original UK-supplied (C16) Carrera 3.2 Sport with the desirable G50 gearbox, finished in rare Velvet Red Metallic and with excellent provenance.

DESCRIPTION

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984 and reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars.

The all alloy, flat-six engine, which had been fuel-injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.

The car presented here is a C16 (UK-supplied) 1989 model year ('K’ programme) example from the final year of 3.2 production. More specifically, it is a Carrera 3.2 Sport which was a UK-only model and came factory-fitted with a black lip front spoiler, a rear whale tail spoiler, Sports seats (more dished squabs than the basic seats) and Bilstein Sport shock absorbers. Supplied new by AFN Porsche and first registered in the UK on 7th April 1989, this factory Sport-specification car is finished in the rarely seen hue of Velvet Red Metallic and optioned with half leather and pinstripe electric seats, the factory Sound Pack, electric sunroof and rear wash/wipe. It's currently fitted with a Blaupunkt Bluetooth hands-free unit.

It's been fully recommissioned after a decade in dry storage, including a photo-documented glass-out repaint, new body seals, sunroof and window seals, heater ducting, fuse board refresh and refurbished, alloys fitted with new Yokohama 002 tyres. Additional mechanical work includes a new clutch fitted in August 2025 at R&D Automotive of Manchester along with plugs/tappet set up, new cam cover gaskets, starter motor and heater controls whilst the engine was out. Again all photo documented.
 
Indicating 127,501 miles (at the time of cataloguing), supported by an extensive history file from new with the original book pack, stamped service book, invoices and old MOTs. The current is MOT is valid until June 2026 and the car is HPI-clear. The Cherished Registration number visible in some of our images does not form part of the sale and the car will revert to its original registration number, F364 PLP.
 
This is a very attractive example of a much sought after 911, well maintained and thoughtfully specified, offered in rare Velvet Red Metallic and accompanied by excellent provenance, making it an appealing prospect for both collectors and drivers alike.
