183 + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter Lot 480 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport (G50) The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. Launched in 1984 and reviving the ‘Carrera’ name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980’s sports cars. The all-alloy, flat-six engine, which had been fuel-injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting. The car presented here is a C16 (UK-supplied) 1988-model year (‘J’ Series) example (with the preferred G50 manual gearbox) Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport (for-the-UK-only Sport model - hence, black lip front spoiler, a rear ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler, Sports seats (more dished squabs than the basic seats) and Bilstein Sport shock absorbers). The car was supplied new via JCT600 of Leeds, having today covered just 67,787 miles (atoc) from new and has been looked after in its current ownership since 2013. Finished in the rare and striking combination of Diamantblau Metallic (which was only offered for two years) with black leather upholstery (in 2012 the car received a paintwork refresh and the interior was retrimmed in its factory colours). It is accompanied by both keys and its original book pack, including its Owner’s Manual and Service Book - containing 22 service stamp entries. Even more reassuringly, there is a large collection of old MOT Certificates, tax discs and numerous invoices (which includes thorough mechanical work carried out in 2005), previous letters of sale, original photographs - all the documentation you’d want to help validate such a car, including its mileage and upkeep. It was last serviced in September 2022 with Porsche specialist Reason Porsche of Ipswich, who gave the car a thorough going-over (confirming a slight oil leak was merely the sump plug), adding a new battery, fan belt and front brake calliper, whilst also replacing the brake fluid and the speedo-drive sensor in the gearbox. This car has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, in very good condition. It has never required any major work due to its regular servicing, low mileage and garage storage. Small details like factory stickers still in situ and the Porsche tool roll help support this dutiful ownership. This is a simply lovely and genuine example of one of the most popular and sought- after 911s. A UK-supplied Sport model with the G50 gearbox, lots of originality, good service history and stylishly finished in Diamond Blue Metallic.
