THE 911 CARRERA
Porsche revived the Carrera name - previously used for the competition orientated versions of the preceding 356 - for its luxuriously equipped, top-of-the-range 911 in 1973, applying the evocative title to all 911 models, coincidentally with the introduction of the 3.2-liter engine, from 1984. Not merely enlarged, the new engine was also extensively revised and produced 231bhp, 27 horsepower up on its predecessor. The 911 Carrera's top speed was now 152mph, with 100mph reachable in a breathtaking 13.6 seconds.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
As with all collector cars, it is finding good examples that makes the difference, be it in terms of specification, colors, provenance/history or all three. This great looking '86 Carrera ticks all of those boxes.
Finished in a paint-to-sample shade of Weissgoldmettallic (White Gold Metallic) over Champagne leather seats and a Chocolate Brown leather dash with Linen-hued headliner, this 911 was delivered new to California. Passing through three California owners before coming out East, just over 2500 miles a year have been accumulated with a total of under 79,000 original miles showing on the clock. According to the clean CARFAX, only about 2000 miles have been added to the total in the last four years.
The recipient of a recent $3,300 service, the car is accompanied by its books, tools, jack, and spare. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity has been ordered and will join the car shortly.
All in all this makes for a great package, especially in Coupe form, an eminently usable version of the model in the increasingly popular Porsche market.
