Superbly presented in Grand Prix White with Guards Red Fuchs alloys LSD, 5-speed G50, shortened gear lever, Sportshock absorbers, top-tinted screen Official UK Porsche GB press car. Extensive history file. 89,700 miles Full-service history. Certificate of Authenticity. Original bill of sale. Both original keys When Porsche wanted to build a 9112.7 RS for the 1980's, it came up with the Carrera 3.2 Club Sport, a car which ~ like an RS has gone on to become asought-after classic. In common with its RS predecessor, the key to the Club Sport is lightness. Without going crazy, Porsche shavedaround 40kg off the standard cars 1210kg. This was done by omitting unnecessary luxuries including electric windows, rear seats, rear wiper, radio, rear quarter panels, door pocket lids, central locking, engine-and luggage-compartment lights, passenger sun visor, underseal (although some UK cars retained some protection), some sound-deadening (that in the engine bay and roof lining remained), and even the coat hooks. There were manual heater controls (as fitted on earlier 911s) instead of an automatic thermostat system, whilst air-conditioning was deleted in markets where that was standard.In addition, the car was fitted with a lighter starter motor, simplified (and therefore lighter) wiring loom, and an alloy spare wheel. Despite the reduced specification, the Club Sports interior was far from austere, with full carpeting (including over the rear seat area)and comfortable pinstripe fabric seats, although some examples had leather seats. Mechanically, the car retained the standard 3.2 engine, albeit blueprinted, fitted with lighter hollow inlet valves, and located on stiffer mounts. A revised engine management system increased the rev limit from 6520rpm to 6840rpm but, bizarrely, Porsche didnt claim any increase in power over the standard engines 231bhp. The power was fed through a G50 gearbox with a shorter throw and taller fourth and fifth gears, and a limited-slip differential. Suspension, meanwhile, was uprated with nothing more than Bilstein gas dampers all round. The majority of Club Sports were finished in Grand Prix White with the option of large Carrera CS side decals in Guards Red. The Fuchs alloy wheels usually had matching red centres, but could also be specified in black or white. Only 340 Club Sports were built, with 53 right-hand-drive examples coming to the UK, where road testers received it with open arms; Motor claimed it to be the fastest 911 it had driven, and good value at some 3,000 cheaper than the standard car. The example we have here is finished in Grand Prix White and Black leatherette with pinstripe black seats. As a factory Club Sport, it comes with an LSD, 5-speed G50 gearbox, shortened gear lever, forged alloy wheels, 'Sport' shock absorbers, top tinted windscreen, and Clubsport Equipment. It also retains its original Blaupunkt radio cassette.This stunning 3.2 Club Sport (number 22 out of the 53 RHD UK cars delivered) was supplied through JCT600 in Bradford to Porsche themselves and subsequently became the official Press Car as confirmed by the history file. This is a superb read and even includes an original press release (addressed to Mr Tony Dron no less!). The car has been sold throughout the years by both Porsche themselves and well respected Porsche specialists. The service history mirrors this and dates all the way back to the initial 'Running-in' service, with invoices to verify from the current day back to 1992. Currently owned and loved by Silverstone Auctions M-D, Nick Whale, under his ownership the Club Sport has been maintained by respected Porsche Specialists, Tuthill Porsche, and was last serviced in 2019, with invoices on file. The original invoice from Porsche GB to the first private owner is also included.Supplied with all the history detailed above, the Porsche CoA, the stamped original service booklet and 2 original keys. The 3.2 Club Sport is a very rare machine, a desirable 80s Porsche for the serious collector and tipped to seriously increase in value. It is a true drivers car ~ and one with such an interesting history is surely the one to own.
