1986 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 G50 For Sale

I bought this car over ten years ago with 75, 000 miles on it. It came from a well known independent dealer and was my first 911. Straight after my purchase, I fell in with the impactbumpers crowd, which led to many road trips and track days all over Europe and the UK.

The most recent of these road trips was last year, to the Race de Remparts in Angouleme in south west France. The classic race weekend in the sunshine reminded me that there are still many classics to own and enjoy, so I have decided to offer the Carrera for sale and see whether it might find a new home.

I have developed and upgraded the car throughout my ownership, so it is now a superb example of an air-cooled Porsche 911 prepared for track days, fast road and touring use.
It had a detailed restoration in 2012, when a highly respected Porsche bodyshop (Sportwagen in Great Wakering) took many monies from me and handed me back a beautiful car in near perfect condition.

The complete restoration was documented in detailed photographs. During the restoration, the sunroof, side repeaters, fog lights and headlamp washers were deleted, with the usual rust removal from the kidney bowls and other rust traps. The driver's seat rails were removed and a lower set fitted to accommodate a taller driver. All rubber trim (except bumperettes) was replaced during the rebuild. We also fitted a new windscreen. All of the car is steel, save for the ducktail and Ruf 935 mirrors. It weighs in 1160 kilograms with a quarter of a tank of fuel which is 100kilo lighter than a standard G50 3. 2.

Soon after purchase, the top end was rebuilt by Autowerke in Norwich at approx 76k miles. It now shows 123k miles and runs better than eve, It has a custom Steve Wong chip, stainless steel Cargraphic silencer with stainless steel Dansk heat exchangers and crossover pipe. I keep it well maintained and the engine power figures show just how strong this particular flat six is, with the most recent dyno run showing 278. 5 bhp (LSV in Wellingborough).

Everyone who rides in this car comments on how quick it is. It revs freely to the 6. 8k limit, and the low weight of less than 1200 kilograms means it can easily match more modern machinery on track. Being a 1987 model year 911, the transmission is the sought-after Getrag G50. I have fitted poly mounts for even slicker shifting and the clutch is less than 6k miles old.

Handling is super important to me so the dampers have been replaced with new Sachs units which work great with a lightened car .
The car also benefits from a recent expensive Centre of Gravity suspension setup and corner balance. It is fitted with a set of genuine 7 and 8 x 16" Fuchs alloy wheels, with a set of replica 7" and 9" Fuchs with track tyres available as an option. Brakes are standard with upgraded pads. There is no issue with standard brakes and bars on a lightened 911.

The cabin is a nice place to be. I went for a mix of light weight while retaining some comfort for touring, so it has a set of genuine black leather part electric sport seats which are super comfortable and offer great lateral support. There is also a rear seat delete and Club Sport carpet setup, but you could reinstate rear seats for kids if you needed to. RS style door cards, a Momo 07 steering wheel and genuine Cocomats add to the ambience. It has a VDO bluetooth stereo, and the main fuseboard has been replaced with a Classic Retrofit blade fuse board incorporating upgraded headlamp relays.

Most of the original lead weight soundproofing has been removed and replaced with Dynamat. The car makes a noise, but in a very good way. Earplugs are not required for long drives! It has a full MOT, an immobiliser, loads of paperwork and is ready to go.
