"Known internally as the 964, Porsche's new generation 911 debuted in 1989 and was available in two (Carrera 2) and four-wheel drive (Carrera 4) guises with its familiar silhouette clothing a radically revamped platform. Boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.32 thanks to its deeper bumpers, smoother sills and flatter floorpan, high-speed stability was maintained by a self-deploying rear spoiler which rose above 48mph. Powered by an extensively reworked 3.6 litre air-cooled flat-six equipped with twin spark plugs per cylinder and a re-mapped Bosch Motronic fuel injection, the 964 claimed an impressive 250bhp and 229lbft of torque. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, most variants were reputed to be capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of over 160mph.
Originally registered on 1st January 1990 this Porsche 964 presents exceedingly well in Guards Red with black leather interior. The current vendor is a very fastidious and knowledgeable Porsche enthusiast. He keeps his cars in a secure dry garage and throughout his tenure has only used the car in the summer months and never in inclement weather. We are advised this 911 drives with no known faults and has been regularly maintained. Supplied with a V5C registration document and a fresh MoT test certificate, together with the original service wallet, spare keys, toolkit and history folder. The bodywork is in good order throughout as is the interior. The 3.6 litre engine runs smoothly and the five-speed gearbox operates as it should, the legendary Porsche build quality can be seen throughout this motorcar. The 964’s are becoming increasingly sought-after, particularly manual versions and this represents one of the most accessible on the market today."
