This Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Super Sport Cabriolet is a particularly rare, right-hand drive example of the wide-bodied open-top sports car, offered from long-term ownership with low mileage from new. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 3.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, producing around 228bhp, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer shows just 59,263 Kms from new, which is supported by the car’s maintenance history. Believed to be one of only 389 examples produced in 1985 (from research it is understood that the bulk of these were sent to the USA), this Australian-market Super Sport Cabriolet has been with its current and fourth owner for the last 18 years, and is reported to have covered just 5,900 Kms in that time. Specified with ‘Turbo-look’ Sport Equipment bodywork, this 911 features the flagship model’s wide body, suspension, brake callipers, wider Fuchs alloy wheels, and the iconic ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler. Originally finished in Nutmeg Brown Metallic, the car was resprayed in black at some point in its history, and the interior is trimmed tan leather, offset by a complementary dark brown dashboard, steering wheel, and upper door card sections. It rides on a set of 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in gloss black with polished lips, shod with Toyo Proxes C100 Plus tyres on the front, and Ventus K102 items at the rear. The factory specification includes bumper bellows, headlamp washers, a four-bar steering wheel, air conditioning, heated door mirrors, electric windows, electrically adjustable front seats, and a central locking system. As well as its colour change, this 911 has also been modified with the addition of a larger-diameter rear exhaust sections, and a Pioneer cassette stereo in place of the original Blaunpunkt Toronto unit. The car will be accompanied by all of its original owner’s manuals with a red plastic wallet, a stamped service booklet, tools, a spare wheel, and a Blaupunkt stereo instruction booklet. The vehicle has been previously inspected with an Elcometer coating thickness gauge, which found no body damage or repair work was evident. The resprayed black paintwork is reported to be in excellent condition, though the seller notes a few minor stone chips on the car’s front end. There are also fine scratches and swirl marks around the vehicle, along with an imperfection on the nearside rear bumper above the exhaust tip, minor chips on the edge of the driver’s door, and touched-in scuffs on the offside rear wheel arch. There are slight blemishes on the convertible roof, with a small tear on the offside edge. The seller notes that it may benefit from being retrimmed. Inside, the cabin is presented in good shape. The seller notes wear on the driver’s seat bolters, and there is also stretching on the back of the driver’s seat, minor blemishes on the rear carpet, holes and small tears on the convertible roof headlining, minor discolouration on the lower driver’s door card, and creasing on the seats, with wear on the leading edge of the driver’s seat base. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard, however it is noted that the air conditioning system needs to be re-gassed. This 911’s most recent routine maintenance was a major service, which was carried out in October 2022 at 59,195 Kms by Buick Motorworks, which included the fitment of a new regulator to the alternator due to the battery being overcharged. Prior to this, Buick Motorworks performed routine oil changes in March 2020 at 58,957 Kms, and in August 2014 at 57,512 Kms. Other notable maintenance includes Buick Motorworks replacing the front gearbox rubber bush with a nylon unit, and the bonnet and engine lid struts being replaced. 29 Aug 1989, 13,101 Kms at John Newell Porsche Centre 4 Jun 1996, 31,118 Kms at Scuderia Veloce Motors 17 Feb 1997, 31,357 Kms at Prestige Walkerville 10 Nov 1997, 34,878 Kms at Prestige Walkerville 28 Oct 1998, 38,991 Kms at Adelaide Exclusive 13 Feb 2001, 42,677 Kms at Jaaz Automotive Services 21 Jun 2005, 48,071 Kms at Jaaz Automotive Services 18 Aug 2014, 57,512 Kms at Buick Motorworks 17 Mar 2020, 58,957 Kms at Buick Motorworks 10 Oct 2022, 59,195 Kms at Buick Motorworks This Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Super Sport Cabriolet is a very rare and handsome example of the desirable open-top classic air-cooled sports car, offered from long-term ownership and with low mileage from new.
