The 911 Carrera 3. 0, a car for connoisseurs :
The Porsche 911 Carrera 3. 0 remains a car for connoisseurs: rare, with a less powerful image than a Carrera 2. 7, and less produced and more expensive than a 911 SC, it lies between two waters, where only enlightened enthusiasts venture.
That's not to say that it's a tricky car to drive, as its 3-litre engine is per-fectly matched to a quality 915 gearbox, making the engine/ gearbox combination a pleasure to drive. It can be driven on torque in fast cruising mode, and it's capable of showing off its power at higher revs. Above all, it still represents the transition from the pre-1973 911 Classic to the full maturity of the 911 Caisses G, which will be reached with the 911 Carrera 3. 2. So if you want to enjoy a vintage 911, the Carrera 3. 0 could be the ideal mount: rare, unique, reliable and consistent.
If you're already familiar with 911s from that era, you'll snuggle up to it like an old friend; if not, I promise you some very exciting discoveries, with a very favourable power-to-weight ratio (the car weighs just 1, 120 kilos) and a driving pleasure enhanced by the availability of the flat-six engine. The car doesn't need to be whipped to give its best, with the added bonus of the more or less hidden bliss of driving one of the less frequent avatars of the most unmissable sports car in history!
Delivered new in Germany in the interior/ exterior colours it still wears today, with its original sunroof and Fuch wheels, our 911 carrera 3. 0L is still equipped with its engine and gearbox, as confirmed by the Por-sche certificate on file.
It spent a long time in the hands of a duo of Italian and Belgian own-ers, before being bought by the current owner. The latter, a Porsche enthusiast and above all a stickler for cosmetic and mechanical condi-tion, entrusted his car to Olivier Auvray (AMS) for meticulous mainte-nance. The bodywork, although in superb condition, was inspected and any parts that needed repainting were given a new coat of paint.
This is a rare car, very pleasant to drive, but which can also be a real racer, and which can calm the ardour of more modern cars on small mountain roads... It will make you happy in perfect comfort, while keep-ing the spirit of what made the 911 famous.
