EXTERIOR Finished in Slate grey this 911 is an absolute head turner. Starting life as a 3.2 Carrera this well serviced 1980s Porsche has been re-imagined as a backdate to capture the essence of the 1970’s. Commissioned in 2016 by the current owner the body was stripped back and modelled into the stylish and classic looking machine as it stands today.

Sporting plenty of chrome work which defines the outline of the body and bumpers as well as ancillaries such as light surrounds and grilles. Genuine Porsche Durant mirrors sit pride of place on the door tops with Porsche script neatly running down the side. The quality of the finish is very good with only a few areas showing signs of age or use on the road after the recent extensive work.

INTERIOR The interior is has been meticulously trimmed and is covered in soft leather throughout. Sports bucket seats have been finished with hounds tooth cloth inserts while the bolsters in black leather. White stitching defines the interior lines and runs around the dash top, door tops and armrests. A Proto Typo steering wheel is finished in leather to match.

An electric sunroof and windows provide modern luxuries along with a Retro style Becker unit fitted with Bluetooth and connected to 4 kenwood speakers integrated into the leather door cards.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION The wonderful classic 3.2 flat 6 barks into life at the turn of the key and settles into a throaty idle thanks in part to a complete stainless steel exhaust and Dansk twin exit silencer.

The engine has been subject to a full top end rebuild and shows no sign of smoke on start up it pulls well and smoothly through the gears.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES A classic 70s Porsche needs equally iconic wheels and this 911 does not disappoint. Fitted with 16″ Fuchs alloys with black inserts these look fantastic with silver faces and Porsche centre crests. Recently refurbished brake calipers poke through the gaps and clamp to discs that present as new.

Tyres are courtesy of Continental, N rated and matching all round with good tread.
