Comments from the dealer
The arrival of the 964 generation 911 marked one of the most significant evolutions in the history of Porsche. Introduced at the close of the 1980s, the 964 represented a decisive step forward , still retaining the unmistakable silhouette of the 911 while fundamentally redefining its engineering. Remarkably, over 87% of its components were newly developed compared to the outgoing G-Series, ushering in a new era of usability, refinement, and performance.
For the first time, the 911 platform adopted technologies that would come to define modern Porsche driving. Coil spring suspension replacing torsion bars, power steering, ABS braking, and improved aerodynamics. In Carrera 2 form, the 964 distilled this progress into a rear-wheel-drive configuration that preserved the purity of the 911 experience, while elevating it to a level of sophistication previously unseen. Today, the 964 occupies a unique position within the Porsche lineage as the final bridge between classic air-cooled character and modern usability, and increasingly one of the most sought-after entry points into serious collector ownership.
Delivered new in July 1991 by John Newell Porsche, this example is presented in a highly desirable colour specification of Dark Blue over matching Midnight Blue interior. This timeless combination that underscores the model’s understated sophistication is optioned with 17-inch Cup wheels, sunroof, and cruise control, and retains a cohesive and original appearance, reflecting careful and considered ownership throughout its life.
Importantly, the car is accompanied by its complete with two keys, an extensively maintained and fully documented service history, providing clear evidence of diligent long-term care and reinforcing confidence in both its mechanical integrity and provenance, an essential attribute for collectors seeking the very best examples of the 964 platform.
In 2018, the car benefitted from a significant mechanical enhancement, with its engine upgraded to 3.8-litre specification. The work was entrusted to Porsche factory-trained technician Spencer Harrison of Harrison’s RRR, andexecuted with a level of precision and expertise from his many years working with Porsche . The result is a driving experience that subtly echoes the character and urgency of the revered 964 Carrera RS, while maintaining the integrity and usability of the Carrera 2 platform.
Complemented by a refined performance exhaust note, the car delivers a heightened yet balanced expression of the air-cooled flat-six engaging without compromise. More recent enhancements include the addition of a Porsche Classic Radio system, remote immobiliser system alongside a full paint correction, ceramic coating, and paint protection film, ensuring the car presents to an exceptional standard both cosmetically and mechanically.
At its core, it delivers a pure analogue driving experience, rich in feedback and character, making it equally compelling on the road and as a considered addition to any serious collection. Altogether, this is a particularly appealing example of the 964 Carrera 2, combining provenance, thoughtful specification, documented history and meaningful mechanical enhancement into a highly usable and rewarding package.
As collector-grade air-cooled 911 are becoming increasingly harder to find, this represents both a discerning acquisition and an immensely enjoyable ownership experience and long term collectability.
