Lot details Registration No: D352ELH Chassis No: WPOZZZ912H140097 Mot Expiry: July 2005
Historically, and thus far, the most important Porsche model has been the 1964-introduced 911, which was to remain in production in much the same form for the next 30 years, albeit progressively updated and modified. With basically similar layout to the 356, the new 911 was built on a steel platform chassis with suspension by torsion bars, Macpherson struts at the front and trailing arms at the rear.
The first version of the 911 was powered by an air-cooled 2-litre, horizontally-opposed six with 5-speed box first used on the 904 competition coupe. Capacity increased, first to 2.4, then 2.7-litres, whilst from 1984, the capacity of the legendary Porsche motor was increased from 3.0 to 3.2-litres and the SC 911 became the 911 Carrera.
This 911 Carrera, a righthand drive targa-roofed coupe, first left the Porsche Stuttgart works in 1986, this model having the benefit of having the later, improved and much preferred G50-type gearbox. We are told that the clutch on this car, which had 119,700 miles on the odometer when entered for this auction, has been renewed recently and that there is total service history from new in the documents file.
Currently, the targa-top bodyshell is said to be good, the white paintwork very nice and the black piped in white trim also good. The 3.2-litre flat-six is reportedly in good order with the 5-speed manual transmission said to be in excellent shape. The current MOT certificate will be valid until next July.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
