This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa is a smart and typically reliable example of the modern classic sports car. Power is provided by a 230hp 3.2-litre air-cooled flat six, and for 1987, the Carrera 3.2 received the sought-after five-speed G50 manual transmission from Getrag. This 911 boasts a superb maintenance history, as summarised below. Originally sold in the UK, this 911 Targa was exported to Australia in 2009. Finished in Guards Red over black, this 911 is finished in one of the definitive 1980s sports car colour schemes. Furthermore, it also rides on the 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, and is fitted with the Sport package front lip spoiler and ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler, making it even more ‘period perfect’. There are no known modifications, and the car is believed to remain in its factory specification. It is sold with the original service book stamped up to 1997 with Porsche servicing, and further records covering the subsequent 12 years. The bodywork presents very well, with no known prior damage. A check on the UK’s national car data system also shows no records of any registered damage or alerts. Its Guards Red paintwork is in good overall condition, benefitting from some areas of respray work, but appearing largely original. The black interior upholstery may well be original and is in very good order. The leather panels on the front seats show only minor wear, while the other vinyl trim is also in great shape. The car presents no warning lights, nor mechanical or electrical faults. While it is currently unregistered, it is reported to hold an up-to-date roadworthy test certificate. The 911 was serviced in June 2021 by Custom Bugs & Buses in Penrith. Work included repairing a faulty fuel regulator along with a routine service and tune. The previous two services were completed in December 2019 and January 2019. Receipts for various labour and parts are with the car. Other maintenance in the year includes attention to the suspension, rear shocks, plugs and leads, exhaust and heat exchanger.
