1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

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

Incredibly desirable today for a multitude of reasons from aesthetics, usability 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 horsepower.

Available here is an exceptionally well maintained and Australian delivered 1988 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera sold new by John Newell Porsche, Sydney ordered in Guards Red over Black leather trim and optioned with Fuchs Alloy wheels, sunroof, air conditioning, cruise control and electric driver seat.

The overall condition shows the quality of maintenance this car has received in its near 30 year plus lifespan. The Speedometer reads 168,000 kilometers but both the exterior and interior suggest otherwise, from the soft-touch switch gear to the superb condition leather seats benefitting from a re-trim in 2012, the depth of finish to the paint, the clarity of the original VDO instrumentation to the exacting German style panel fitment, this car is a wonderful example.

The subject of a top-end engine re-build to factory specification in 2009 with marque specialists based in Sydney at 143,000 kms as well as the subject of a pre-sale service in August 2024 this 911 Carrera is ready for its new owner and performs exceptionally well. In accompaniment are the original owner’s manuals and service book highlighting its service history, the original tool kit and Porsche keys.

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