Initially, Option M491 was only available on a coup through the'Special Wishes' programme, but was later extended to include a Turbo-Look Targa and Cabriolet in 1985, then became an official model from 1986. From 1987 the designation was officially known as SSE (Supersport Equipment). 'M491' was not just a sop to the excesses of the 1980s, with flared arches evoking the appearance of some dramatic Porsche models from the past, but was a popular option offering the 'macho' good looks of the Turbo without the mechanical complexities. However, it was not cheap adding over 10,000 to the cost of a standard variant by the end of the models life in 1989, possibly explaining the relatively small build numbers. The spec also included a limited-slip differential, the stiffer suspension and superior braking system from the 930 Turbo, a wrap-around deep chin-spoiler, the famous tea-tray rear spoiler, and wider Fuchs alloy wheels. The rarity of M491/Supersport models is undeniable, especially in right-hand drive, but official figures are hard to come by. A respected source quotes that just 651 C16 (UK-supplied) M491 cars (including all Coups, Targas and Cabriolets) were builtbetween 1984 and 1989.Manufactured in 1985 in right-hand drive, this stunning911 Carrera 3.2 was indeed one of thoseOption M491-Turbo-look' cars making it rather exclusive, however, its exclusivity was taken to the next level as it was finished from newin 'Paint to Sample' (Code L999) Meteor Grey Metallic, a superb colour for these distinctive Turbo-bodied cars and head and shoulders above the flurry of Guards Red, black and white 911s.First registered to AFN Porsche it was optioned with, electric sunroof, central locking, electric passenger seat, rear wiper and electric passenger mirror.It proudly displaysan incredible service record with thirty-four stamps in the service book punctuated by a gearbox rebuild by Gantspeed in 1995 (60,000 milesapprox), a full body restoration in 2014 and an engine rebuild in 2015.
