Delivered new on 9th December 1985 via MAHAG Munich, the car remained with its first owner until it was acquired nearly three decades later by an enthusiast from Bad Kreuznach. From there, it passed through the hands of two fellow Porsche rally drivers in the same region, before joining its current keeper in 2017. There is a written letter in the folder of the car which shows below specification from new:
- Preußischblau Metallic
- Electric sunroof + driver seat
- Passenger-side exterior mirror
- Blaupunkt Köln SQR 23 radio
- Porsche script “mittelstreifen” cloth/leather interior
- 16” Fuchs wheels
- Power output: 231 hp (3.2-litre flat-six)
Original purchase price (December 1985): 68,860.- DMTotal invoice incl. options: 73,945.- DM
This 911 has benefitted from significant recent investment to ensure excellent mechanical condition:
- Engine rebuild in 2017 at 106,232 km (RAUE classics, Hamburg)
- Gearbox overhaul in 2024 (Olaf Eitner, Hamburg)
- Runs exceptionally strong and pulls hard through the rev range
- 915 gearbox shifts precisely and smoothly following rebuild
- Tyres from 2019 with good tread (replacement advised for spirited driving)
The car presents beautifully with a clean, well-preserved interior, showing light, honest patina consistent with age and careful use (an above-average cabin for a 1980s 911). The exterior shows signs of partial repainting in the past. Paint quality is good overall; one higher reading was noted on the front left wing, where corrosion was previously addressed. Factory spot-welds in the engine bay remain visible and correct. There is no sign of rust at the typical sports like around the window frames, doors and sills. The option-sticker in the front trunk is also present. Original items are included, such as the Porsche owner’s manual, tool kit, period emergency tow strap and more. A well-loved, well-sorted Carrera with the right mechanical work completed. Not a garage queen, but a turnkey driver with genuine emotional appeal.
This Carrera stands out immediately when driven. Responsive, tight and eager. Power delivery is crisp and strong, and the recently rebuilt gearbox contributes to confident, precise shifting. A wonderful example for anyone seeking a mechanically sorted, engaging, characterful 911 that requires nothing but a driver who wants to enjoy it.
The car is located in Hamburg and available for viewing and test drives by appointment.Vehicle is being sold on behalf of the owner.
