Supplied new by Lancaster Garages
Ltd of Norwich in August 1986 and finished in classic Guards Red this 930 series
911 3.2 coupe absolutely looks the part, so very 80s, so very retro and as cool
as can be with its black Fuchs alloy wheels and black rubber lipped ‘Tea-Tray’
rear spoiler.
Under the Tea-Tray rear spoiler,
we find the 3.2 litre flat-six cylinder engine, updated from its 3.0 litre
predecessor with increased cc, increased compression ratio (10.3:1 over 9.8),
new inlet manifold, new exhaust system and also fitment of an L-Jetronic Bosch
Motronics 2 DME (Digital Motor Electronics) system which resulted in an increase
in Bhp over the SC model from 204Bhp to 234Bhp driving the rear wheels via
five-speed Type-915 five-speed manual transmission (G50 from
1987).
Performance was much improved as a
result with the dash to sixty recorded at just 5.4 seconds by Autocar back in
the day and a top speed of 150mph.
The 3.2 was available as a Coupe, Targa and
Convertible.
Inside this smart example, we find
a two-tone interior with half black vinyl and brown pinstripe interior with
4-way electric seats, electric windows and electric sunroof in what looks to be
very good condition.
The car shows 000,905
miles although we understand it has actually covered c.198,000 miles (considered
to be entirely normal for a 3.2/SC so good, and usable are they) and has been
the subject of considerable recent spend to keep the car tip top and looking as
it does.
The history file includes the V5C
showing just five former keepers (the current since June 2018, with the last
owner keeping the car 13 years), the Owner’s pack and service book containing 24
service stamps (with a second continuation book for continued stamping) and five
further stamps for brake fluid/coolant changes, the last service stamp in March
2004 at 149,995 miles.
In addition, the history
file also includes some 16 old MOTs dating back to 1992 at 17,729 miles along
with the current, valid until August 2024 recording X advisories. Invoices on file are numerous and date
back to 1992 with regular maintenance and minor bodywork including replacement
wings and sills in 2010 with another replacement wing in 2022, gearbox speed
sensor and other works totalling some £3,238, a replacement speedometer in July
2022 (hence the mileage shown of 905 miles). New OE oil pipes back to front and front
with thermostat were fitted in 2018 along with new rear lights in 2019, a new
clutch in 2015, new fuel tank in 2003 and complete engine rebuild in 1998 at
86,987 miles with Mahle pistons costing some £6,553 back
then.
A most complete example that despite its
years and mileage looks and feels rock solid and ready to cover another 200,000
miles in ever so cool, 80s ease.
Bidders please
note. We are awaiting details of a recent £9,000 spend by our vendor. The
description will be updated when this arrives to reflect the works undertaken.
