Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model's 3164 cc (hence '3.2') flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds and a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner – the Achilles heel of the earlier engines. Early examples of the 3.2 employed the 915 type manual gearbox with reverse gear located beneath fifth, while 1987 to 1989 models had the stronger G50 unit in which reverse was located beside the fifth ratio. An optional ‘Sport’ pack became available during 1984, comprising a deeper front valance, ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler, stiffer Bilstein dampers and 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels with black centres.

Built to a simpler, lighter specification than those headed to other countries and unaffected by the heavy pedal offset which blighted every right-hand drive incarnation of the 911 up until the 996, German market (or ‘C00’) cars have long been revered by marque purists. Finished in Marine Blue Metallic with Blue leather / cloth upholstery, chassis 2816 was supplied new by Autohaus Stegelmann GmbH & Co of Bad Salzuflen to an internationally successful ladies’ clothing company. Built with the desirable G50 gearbox but few extras aside from a passenger side mirror and sunroof, the Carrera 3.2 was serviced eleven times by main dealers and specialists up until 3^rd April 2000 at 143,100km (c.89,000 miles). Imported to the UK the following year by a doctor who ran it for a while on German plates, the Porsche was registered with the DVLA during December 2002 and entered the current ownership four months later. Initially entrusted to JZ Machtech of Kings Langley, the Coupe has been maintained by fellow marque specialist Auto 2000 since 2013. Installing a full Dansk stainless steel exhaust system and new drive shaft boots that same year at 225,828km, the Kempston-based firm last serviced chassis 2816 on 11^th January 2021 at 236,399km. Now showing some 238,000km (c.148,000 miles) to its odometer, the Carrera 3.2 started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. There are some imperfections to the paintwork and a small area of bubbling to the driver’s side front wing, but the car looks solid underneath, and the interior has worn well. Overall, it comes across as a genuine and highly original machine (the factory airbox and steering wheel are included). Enjoyed for several trips to the Le Mans 24-hours and riding on fresh Avon rubber all-round, it is anticipated that this desirable C00-spec, G50 ‘box Carrera 3.2 Coupe will be driven to Buxton. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, original book pack and numerous bills / receipts.
