Known internally as the 964, Porsche's new generation 911 debuted in 1989. Available in two- (Carrera 2) and four-wheel drive (Carrera 4) guises, its familiar silhouette clothed 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 that rose above 77km/h. Powered by an extensively reworked 3.6 litre air-cooled flat-six equipped with twin spark plugs per cylinder and 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 and over 160mph. To help harness such performance, the Carrera 2 / Carrera 4 were fitted with power assisted rack and pinion steering, ABS brakes and all round coil-sprung suspension. Three 'firsts' for the 911, they resulted in notably sure-footed handling. Introduced in 1990, the 964 Cabriolet benefited from a suitably reinforced shell and electrically operated roof.
Finished in silver blue metallic with grey hide upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in good overall condition. Believed to have covered 102,950 miles from new, it is said to retain "lots of history, old MOTs and original service book with eleven stamps". Apparently last registered to a member of the Porsche Owner's Club, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until 20th August 2006.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
