MATCHING NUMBERS & EXCELLENT CONDITION The Porsche 911 Carrera 3. 2 was produced for model years 1984 to 1989. If you are looking to get into classic Porsche 911's, then the 3. 2-litre Carrera line up is a good place to start. Reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977, it featured a new higher-displacement power plant, the 3164cc six-cylinder boxer engine producing 231 bhp and this engine addressed the calls for more performance and became the most commercially successful 911 yet. Over 70, 000 units were produced, and they are still plentiful, affordable, and blend the tradition of the early cars with dabs of modernity and comfort. 3. 2 Carrera's were offered in all three 911 body styles: Coupe, Convertible, and the Targa, with its removable centre roof panel. This beautiful Porsche 911 Carrera 3. 2 Targa - Chassis No: WP0ZZZ91ZES140992 and Engine No: 63E04619 is a fully 'Matching numbers' car and was supplied new by Charles Follett Limited in Berkeley Street, London W1 to its first owner in London and registered on 17th April 1984. It is also finished in its original colour scheme of Grand Prix White with a Black Leather interior piped in White, Black carpets, Black vinyl removable Targa roof panel, 3164cc flat six engine, 5 Speed Manual Gearbox and sitting on a set of 16'' Fuchs Alloy Wheels. The car has a full service history from new and it comes with a huge history file including its fully stamped maintenance book and invoices and MOT certificates from 1985 through to the current day. It has been exceptionally well maintained during its life by Porsche main dealers Charles Follett, Porsche Centre Reading, Porsche Centre in St Johns Wood, Porsche specialist's Pickup Leask in Hampstead, RUF Automobile in Tunbridge Wells, Autowerke in Norwich and latterly Carrera Performance in Horsham who carried out a full restoration and full engine rebuild in May 2018 and there is an invoice in the file from them for £22, 192. 88 for parts alone with the labour charges settled separately, but we were advised by the owner that the total cost of the works came to nearly £40, 000. We sold the car to the current owner in July 2019 when it had covered less than 500 miles since its rebuild and it was serviced by Porsche specialist No5 Garage in Acton upon sale. It has now covered 147, 890 documented miles from new and only 4, 393 since the restoration and engine rebuild. Prior to his purchase, the car was inspected by 'Porsche Inspections' and their full report is shown in the documents on this advert on our website, but this was their summary: This car, a 911 Carrera 3. 2 is a 1984-model year, as denoted by the ‘E’ as the tenth digit of the VIN and third digit of engine and gearbox numbers. 3. 2 (3164cc) Litre engine (231bhp) with the five speed (915) manual gearbox, Targa body with black interior. The engine and gearbox numbers are correct for the 1984 model year so this is a matching numbers example. The Guarantee & Maintenance booklet is the original and shows the supplying dealer as Charles Follett of London. The book is full and there are records up to 1997, but there are lots of invoices dating from 1985 right the way through to the present day. There is also every MOT certificate from 1988 to date. In 2018 a very thorough body and full mechanical rebuild was carried out to an exceptional standard. The speedometer was replaced in October 1989 by Porsche specialist Pick-Up Leask @ 77, 401 miles - current speedo reading is 66, 468 so the total mileage is around 143k miles. A close visual inspection of the bodywork shows that the car has undergone a very comprehensive and high quality restoration. Some panels have been replaced but the structure appears remarkably original. The repairs that have been carried out (kidney bowl areas) have been done incredibly well. The shell is free of corrosion and very clean underneath – almost to concours standard. Th
