Historically, and thus far, the most important Porsche model has been the 1964-introduced 911, which was to remain in production in much the same form for the next 30 years, albeit progressively updated and modified. With a basically similar layout to the 356, the new 911 was built on a steel platform chassis with suspension by torsion bars, Macpherson struts at the front and trailing arms at the rear. The first version of the 911 was powered by an air-cooled 2-litre, horizontally opposed six with 5-speed box first used on the 904 competition coupe. Capacity increased, first to 2.4, then 2.7-litres, whilst from 1984, the capacity of the legendary Porsche motor was increased from 3.0 to 3.2-litres and the SC 911 became the 911 Carrera.

Developed under the watchful eye of Porsche Chief Executive Peter Schutz, the 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show of September 1983. Estimated to be 80 percent new, the model’s 3164 cc (hence ‘3.2’) flat-six engine was credited with developing some 231bhp and 209lbft of torque. Allied to a five-speed manual transmission, it proved both rev-happy and flexible, making the model capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a 153mph top speed. In order to cope with the increased performance, the brakes were enlarged and the top two gear ratios slightly raised. Among other improvements was a redesigned timing chain tensioner – the Achilles heel of the earlier engines. Early examples of the 3.2 employed the 915 type manual gearbox with reverse gear located beneath fifth, while 1987 to 1989 models had the stronger G50 unit in which reverse was located beside the fifth ratio. Built to a simpler, lighter specification than those headed to other countries and unaffected by the heavy pedal offset which blighted every right-hand drive incarnation of the 911 up until the 996, German market (or ‘C00’) cars have long been revered by marque purists.

This desirable ‘last of the line’ K Program Carrera 3.2 coupe with the preferred G50 manual gearbox was originally supplied to a customer in Germany by Porsche Zentrum. In purer, left-hand drive ‘C00’ specification, it has been in the current ownership since 1997 following purchase from a friend and registers some 171,000 km (c.106,627 miles) from new. Finished in Dark Blue with Black leather upholstery, ‘F414 RVL’ has been subject to an extensive mechanical, engine and bodywork restoration which was completed in c.2024. Many of the parts supplied came from Rennspeed and Gantspeed Engineering Limited with genuine Porsche panels also being used. The Posche was finished off by being painted by Retford Autofinishers in its original hue.
