1985 Porsche 911 Carrera

The successor to the Porsche 911 SC and the car that kept the world’s most iconic sportscar moniker alive, the Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera delivers the ideal synthesis of classic air-cooled performance and zero driving aids combined with modern creature comforts and traditional 911 styling that was never replicated by Porsche in the 30 odd years of production since.

Producing 30 more horsepower than its predecessor for a total of 231hp using the latest Bosch LE-Jetronic fuel injection system, the 3.2 Carrera features power assisted brakes, a new front air dam with integrated fog lights, electric windows and mirrors, optional electric sports seats, optional air-conditioning and the choice of a sports body with front and rear spoilers to complete the look.

And because of their excellent build quality and typically meticulous owner fraternity, these iconic 911s still deliver a goose-bump inducing drive offering a unique investment opportunity that you can really sink your teeth into.

Australian delivered, numbers matching and sold new by John Newell Porsche, Sydney in August of 1985 this meticulously well-kept 911 3.2 Carrera coupé was specially ordered in White Gold Metallic over Chocolate leatherette and pinstripe flannel trim.

Optioned with electric seats, electric windows, air-conditioning and the sought after sport body this very original car still features its correct Fuchs alloys, correct Bosch headlights and original Sekurit glass in outstanding condition, small tell-tale signs that show how well the car has been cared for over the past 30 years.

The drive is also sensational, the characteristically 911 driving position offers great feedback through the steering, gear changes feel tight and lively and the balance of the pedals all feel as though they’re cut from one piece.

Accompanying this car is a large history file including the original log-books and manuals bound within the vinyl wallet, receipts for both major and minor service works, the most recent in August, 2016 and the original keys.

One of the finest Australian delivered 911 3.2 Carrera’s we’ve seen featuring the more desirable 231hp motor and preceded by great provenance this car isn’t just excellently prepared for its next drive, it is a market leader as prices continue to move north offering a very savvy investment opportunity.
