Classic Porsche 911 Carrerra Targa Sport. 1985. Prussian Blue for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 453 votes

This is a stunning classic impact bumper Porsche 911. Last of the second generation 911 air cooled Carrera's. I have owned the car since 1999. it's had 2 owners in 20 years (8 owners in total). Mileage is 89800 miles. Comes complete with extensive paperwork of previous MOT's. etc. I purchased the car from a garage owner who worked for the RAC and he had maintained the Porsche to a very high standard whilst he owned it. It had had a new clutch. gearbox bearings and gearbox dismantled. amongst other maintenance. Whilst I have no specific service history prior to the previous owner I can list the work carried out while the car has been in my possession for some 15 years.

Whilst the car has been in my possession it has had the following work carried out:

 

TDI sensors changed by 2 by 2 Porsche Maintenance Brierley Hill cost £450

Gearbox oil changed by 2 by 2

ECU changed by 2 by 2

Plugs KN air filter

Short shift assembly

Momo steering wheel fitted

White faced gauges

New pads and discs

Regular oil changed at The Porsche Shop. Halesowen

Complete exhaust system stainless steel except heat exchangers

Lobro drive shafts recon with new coupling boots

Complete bodywork respray 10 years ago.

 

Car drives like a 911 should. Engine is strong. no smoke. good oil pressure and mechanically quiet. Bodywork is what you'd expect for its age but is pretty good. Fusch alloys are shod with very good tyres. Space saver is like new. Upholstery has been refitted with full leather trim (marine blue with white piping). I have the original which will come with this auction. It's also had a new heater motor.

 

As you would expect with a classic car of this age there are some points that need attention that I have detailed below:

 

Window lift needs to be adjusted as it falls short of about half an inch from ceiling against the targa roof. can be adjusted by taking off the door cards and adjusting the lifter mechanism.

The targa hood interior needs gluing. Top of targa roof has no rips.

Central locking is intermittent. It worked perfectly until the alarm was removed. Could be clipped wire or relay needs changing.

 

The good points however are:

 

Wings good both inner and outer

Floor good

Bodywork not bad for age. has been resprayed completely 10 years ago and has had remedial work done since so the colour has a mismatch in places.

 

The car however runs beautifully and can be used and improved to suit. Would make a great rewarding project for a classic car/Porsche enthusiast as these cars are rocketing in price and will only go up in the future as a most iconic sports car of that era.

Very low mileage for a classic car. I've only really used it in the summer and it is stored in a garage for the rest of the year. The targa is an eye catching car for the summer and is a lot cooler than the coupe and the engine noise is impressive and brings a smile to your face.

As you can probably tell this has been a much loved car. It is not without it's minor faults which I have honestly listed here but these are drivers cars. an absolute pleasure to drive such classic iconic car. Genuine and reluctant reason for sale as I'm approaching retirement. Needs someone to love it as much as I do. I'm also including with this auction all my Porsche literature and manual (please see photo)

I strongly recommend viewing at the earliest opportunity. No time wasters or unrealistically low offers as these cars are worth £10. 00 dismantled and some in great condition are fetching on here £24000 plus. Condition wise this is a middle grade car.

Please note that I have the Porsche advertised elsewhere and have so far had a lot of interest and some offers so if you're interested I would recommend early bidding or contact me for more information/or a viewing.  Low start bid.

Cash on collection or bank transfer.
