Porsche 911 / 964 Carrera Sport Convertible (G50) 1989
Allgemeine Beschreibung :
Model History
Instantly recognizable, the 911 design can be traced back the original sketches drawn by Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche in 1959. The first Porsche 911 was developed as a more powerful, larger, comfortable replacement for the company's first model, the Porsche 356. Originally named the Porsche 901 but quickly changed as Peugeot protested holding the exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. Porsche decided instead of selling the new model with an alternative name in France, they simply changed the name to 911. Since 1964 the 911 model proved to be a huge success, with models such as the Carrera RS, 911 Carrera 2.7, 911 SC and the 911 Turbo.
1984 saw the launch of the 911 Carrera 3.2, which was a replacement for the successful SC series. The 3.2 Carrera revived the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. It utilised a new higher-displacement 3.2-litre horizontally opposed flat-6 engine, which used higher domed pistons to increase the compression ratio from 9.8 to 10.3:1. It was also fitted with a new inlet manifold and exhaust system, Bosch Motronic management system and Bosch LE-Jetronic system. Stronger Hydraulic tensioners for the cam chains were also replaced. In 1987, the Carrera received a new five-speed G50 gearbox sourced from Getrag, with proven BorgWarner synchronizers. From October 1986, changes in the fuel map and chip re-programming further helped improve the power from 207 to 217hp.
Three Carrera models were available at the time – the Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet. Almost identical in design to the earlier SC model, the Carrera received subtle cosmetic changes throughout its lifespan. Some of the more noticeable changes were the integrated front fog lights and redesigned dashboard featuring larger air conditioning vents.

Exterior
This has to be the finest 3.2 911 we’ve seen here at 4 Star. A highly original and extremely well presented example in classic Guards Red over black. Having just been treated to a full machine polish the paintwork maintains a deep lustful shine with only an honest dusting of small chips to report on very close inspection. All of the plastic trims and rubber seals remain in excellent condition with no signs of perishing or fading, and the lights are clear of any moisture, chips or cracks. The electric hood operates perfectly and is also in immaculate condition having been entirely renewed in July 2022, the invoice for this work totaling £2,690.

Interior
The interior also presents particularly well with only minimal wear to the deeply bolstered sports seats, a desirable factory option and a great complement to the exterior paintwork with the red piping. Glancing across the dash the switchgear is in fine order and pleasingly the original Blaupunkt Toronto tape player remains in place. Another nice touch is the handy storage compartment below the dash for all your favorite cassettes. The original carpets are in excellent shape having been protected by an additional set of overmats, and the door cards are immaculate too. Other commonly worn areas such as the steering wheel and gear knob appear in fine order with only a few small marks commensurate with the mileage. At the front end the luggage compartment is very tidy and still houses the original velour carpet, spare wheel, tool kit, tyre inflator kit, and factory options sticker under the bonnet.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Reading through the history file it’s clear that this stunning 3.2 911 has been maintained to an excellent standard throughout its life. The car has only recently returned from a £3,155 major service and check over with marque specialists HDPorsche Limited in Cranleigh. Out on the road it’s an absolute joy to drive; the engine pulls really well and the G50 transmission provides very smooth and precise gear changes – and of course it sounds fantastic with the roof down.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The forged Fuchs wheels remain in perfect unmarked condition having previously been refurbished in the correct finish and to the highest standard. They are wrapped in premium tyres all round with Pirellis at the front and Bridgestones at the rear. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition with plenty of meat left.
History File
First registered in April 1989 this low mileage Carrera Sport was supplied new by Charles Follett Limited in London. The car has now driven only 77k miles in the hands of just 6 registered keepers.

The original Porsche leather document wallet is also present along with all owners’ manuals, the stamped service booklet, operating instructions for the Blaupunkt radio, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, an original sales brochure, and the spare key with remote fob.

über Porsche 911 / 964
Der Porsche 964 ist die interne Bezeichnung für die zwischen 1989 und 1994 produzierten Porsche 911-Modelle. Er war der Nachfolger des Porsche 3.2 Carrera und sollte eine verfeinerte und modernere Version des klassischen Porsche 911 sein.Eine der wichtigsten Änderungen im 964 war die Einführung eines Allradantriebssystems namens Carrera 4. Der 964 war auch der erste Porsche 911, der serienmäßig mit Servolenkung, Antiblockiersystem und Airbag ausgestattet war. Darüber hinaus wurde die Federung aktualisiert, um eine ruhigere Fahrt und ein besseres Handling zu gewährleisten.
Der 964 wurde von einer Reihe von Motoren angetrieben, darunter ein 3,3-Liter-Boxer mit Turbolader, ein 3,6-Liter-Boxer mit Saugmotor und ein 3,6-Liter-Boxer mit Turbolader. Das Spitzenmodell 964 Turbo S war in der Lage, 385 PS und 369 lb-ft Drehmoment zu produzieren, was es zu einem der schnellsten Serienautos seiner Zeit machte.
Heute gilt der Porsche 964 als klassischer Sportwagen und ist bei Sammlern und Liebhabern sehr begehrt. Obwohl er möglicherweise nicht das gleiche Leistungsniveau wie einige der neueren Porsche 911-Modelle hat, ist der 964 immer noch ein aufregendes Auto zu fahren und bietet ein einzigartiges Fahrerlebnis, das mit modernen Autos schwer zu reproduzieren ist.
Als Bastlerauto ist der Porsche 964 bei Sammlern und Liebhabern beliebt, die gerne an Oldtimern arbeiten und diese restaurieren. Sein relativ einfaches Design und seine Mechanik machen es zu einer guten Wahl für diejenigen, die sich für die Restaurierung und Wartung von Kraftfahrzeugen interessieren.
Insgesamt ist der Porsche 964 ein wichtiger Teil der Geschichte von Porsche und bleibt ein beliebtes Auto unter Automobilenthusiasten auf der ganzen Welt. Seine einzigartige Kombination aus klassischem Design, modernen Features und hoher Leistungsfähigkeit macht ihn zu einer wahren Ikone der Marke Porsche.
