The 3.2 Carrera is widely renowned as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. Launched in 1984, reviving the 'Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, these were the epitome of 1980s sports cars. The all-alloy, flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp - enough to propel the sleek and slippery model to over 150 mph, with 0-60 mph coming up in just 5.6 seconds. All 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche's legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long lasting.

Supplied new by Lancasters in November 1988, as confirmed by its Porsche birth certificate, this fabulous specification 3.2-litre Targa is finished in Granite Grey Metallic with Black leather sports seats with Porsche cloth inserts and black carpets, all in remarkably good condition.

Powered by Porsche’s air-cooled 3.2-litre, 6-cylinder engine mated to the smooth and desirable G50, 5-speed manual gearbox, this car ticks every box including the staggered 15in Fuchs wheels and original 'Joe 90' tyre compressor.

The indicated mileage is 108,720 and the car has just returned from a full service at Zuffenhouse Porsche which included new tappets and it was freshly MOT'd and once again passed with no advisories. It's accompanied by a comprehensive history file containing the original service book pack and a huge file of invoices and MOT Certificates.

Eighties Porsches in recent years have been somewhat overlooked, however, with their era-defining styling and fantastic driving ability, these classic 911 are now receiving the respect they deserve.
