1987 Porsche 911 Carrera

Launched in 1983, the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 perfectly blended traditions of its predecessors and flashes of modernity, comfort and amplified performance.

Incredibly desirable today for a multitude of reasons from aesthetics, usability, unburstable build quality and its exceptional precision and poise on-road but mainly, it was the car that signalled the continuation of the neinelfer legacy after its pending demise in 1981 because it was the one supercar that could do Clark Kent during the week as well as it did Superman on the weekend.

The most collectable 3.2 Carrera’s are cars produced from 1987-1989. Not just the last of the generation, these cars featured the fabled stronger, smoother shifting G50 transmission, the sports body with both front and rear spoilers became standard, 16” Fuchs wheels were optional and power was raised to 217 horses.

Available here is an exceptionally well maintained and Australian delivered 1987 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet sold new by Hamiltons Porsche, South Yarra Victoria and ordered in Summer Yellow over Black leather trim.

Optioned to extract the most out of what this timeless sportscar can offer this superb 911 features air conditioning, cruise control, electric driver seat, central locking, the desirable 16" Fuchs forged alloy wheels in front 6" with 205/55 and rear 7" with 225/50 tyres, electric soft-top and luggage compartment velour carpet.

The overall condition shows the high quality of maintenance this car has received in its now 34-year lifespan.

The speedometer reads 177,000 kilometers but both the exterior and interior suggest a lot less.

Yes, the galvanised bodies of this generation of 911 mean they survive the ravages of time well but from the soft-touch switch gear in this car to the stitching across the original seats and smooth leather steering wheel, the depth of finish to the paint, the clarity of the original VDO instrumentation to the exacting German panel fit this car smacks of quality maintenance and ownership.

Exploring the surefooted handling and whirring purring, quintessentially 911 acceleration of this 3.2 Carrera is spine tingling.

The subject of a recent service and checklover with a classic Porsche specialist this 3.2 Carrera performs as though it did the day it was sold new; a testament to the last custodians maintenance and an asset to the next.

With a few tricky camber changes, crests, dips, hairpins and sweepers this car breaths to life like only a 911 can. This car must be driven to be believed.

In accompaniment are the original owner’s manuals and service book highlighting an early factory service history with specialists thereafter, a compilation of service receipts the original tool kit and Porsche keys as well as a Porsche certificate of authenticity.

Offering a unique opportunity to experience the totally uncompromising drive of a pre-driver-aided 911 and invest in an Australian delivered 911 3.2 Carrera in very original condition and with great provenance, this classically styled Porsche is something quite special.
