1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport

This cannot possibly be a 40 year old Porsche… can it?

To the untrained eye, this could be mistaken for any ‘ordinary’ 911 Carrera 3.2. But then you look a bit closer and realise things are not exactly as they first appear. This car is anything but ordinary.

The pristine bodywork and superb paint finish are immediately apparent, but it’s the small details that really make the difference here. The clean lines; no spoiler, no fog lamps, no headlamp washers. Polished window trims, headlamp rings and rear light surrounds. Chrome door handles and stylish Durant mirrors. A body-coloured grille and discreetly smaller ‘Carrera’ badge…….

The interior is pure 3.2, but re-trimmed in soft, black leather with a Momo Prototipo steering wheel and Porsche Classic Navigation system.

This 911 is not factory spec, but neither is it a backdate. It’s a very tasteful reincarnation of a brilliant car.

On the road it feels absolutely right – there’s never any doubt that you’re behind the wheel of a 3.2 – but everything feels ‘better’. It’s a classic Carrera for the 21st century.

In 2012, one owner set out with the clear vision to create an old Porsche that felt brand new. The result was a complete rebuild from top to toe – bodywork, paint, running gear, interior – carried out with exceptional attention to detail and, wherever possible, using all new genuine Porsche parts.
