1990 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Targa

When the Porsche 964 was introduced in 1989 it was 85% different to the out-going 911 but retained the classic 911 shape. The design incorporated more integral bumpers and a host of mechanical changes of which the most significant was the introduction of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc and the engine produced a healthy 250bhp. Power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers.

This right-hand drive, 964 Carrera 2 Targa was first registered on the 1st August 1990 to the first of four former keepers. In 2015, our vendor purchased the Porsche from a gentleman who had owned the car for twenty-five years. The engine was rebuilt at 50,000 miles in 2013 and our vendor informs us it "drives tight, like it's only a few years old." Delivered with an automatic gearbox and finished in the rare colour of Tahoe Blue (only available between 1989 and 1991) beautifully complemented by the Linen coloured leather. The car has new tyres on recently refurbished wheels (original D90 style).

With the odometer indicating a shade under 54,500 miles, the car is offered to auction with a comprehensive history file, tool-kit, tyre inflator, and an MOT until November 2017. It has been serviced and maintained at the following intervals:
