FULL DESCRIPTION
EXTERIOR
Finished in Basalt Black Metallic, this colour was a special order (also commonly referred to as Paint To Sample) when ordered new in 1989. A shade that would then go on to become a popular production choice for the later generation 997, the metallic finish brings depth and detail to the overall finish of this Carrera Sport. The paintwork retains a fabulous shine, and presents in remarkable condition for a car of over 30 years old!
FULL DESCRIPTION
INTERIOR
All materials incorporated into the interior of a 911 are always of high quality, and this model is no exception. Trimmed in Black leather with matching leather piping, there is very little wear to be seen. The black theme continues with headlining, carpets, and door cards, all in favourable condition showing no damage or excessive use. The famous five-dial instrument binnacle, with the centrally mounted rev counter, is clear and in fine working order, as are all other ancillaries. The two rear seats fold down as they should, to create a very usable extra stowage area.
WHEELS & TYRES
Original and correct 16” Fuchs alloys finished in satin black, all present free from kerbing. Tyres are Continental ContiSport Contacts all round, which have ample tread remaining.
Front – 205/55 ZR 16”
Rear – 245/45 ZR 16″
SERVICE HISTORY & PROVENANCE
This exceptional Carrera Sport was previously owned by an air-cooled Porsche enthusiast, who also worked as a senior master technician for the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team. Upon our acquisition, it was immediately evident that this example had been extremely well cared for with the correct knowledge and attention given. Supported by an extremely comprehensive service record, which includes original Porsche invoices dating back many years. All handbooks, owner’s wallet, and two sets of keys are present.
In more recent years, this Carrera Sport has been somewhat over-indulged, having been serviced four times in under one thousand miles by Porsche Main Dealers, two of which were Major Services, including plugs being replaced, tappet adjustments, and regular fluid changes. It has also had a recent four-wheel alignment and adjustment, plus other works to keep this cherished classic in the best possible condition.
Recently we had the 911 inspected and road tested by the very highly regarded RSR Engineering, when Russell (Personal technician to Derek Bell and his son), confirmed as suspected that an engine rebuild had been carried out under five thousand miles ago, detailed in records. Russell is also available and happy to discuss this particular 911 with any prospective buyers. This Carrera Sport was last serviced in March 2023 at 114,231 miles.
This UK supplied, C16 example drives and handles superbly, with a responsive and free-revving engine. There is no smoke upon start-up or at idle, with crisp and effortless gear changes from the G50 box. Though not remarkably swift by today’s standards, performance from the naturally aspirated flat-six is brisk enough with 0-60mph in a claimed 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 149mph – not bad even by modern standards!
Transmission via the G50 5-speed gearbox is a joy to operate, and power is delivered smoothly and evenly throughout the rev ranges. Steering is famously positive and direct, suspension firm yet compliant, and braking is sharp and accurate.
Looking sensational in Basalt Black Metallic, and admired wherever it goes, this 3.2 Carrera Sport has all of the correct credentials to become a useable investment over the coming summer months and for many years to come. A viewing is highly recommended.
