Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

The vehicle in detail

This 911 is not factory spec, but neither is it a backdate. It’s a very tasteful reincarnation of a brilliant car.

On the road it feels absolutely right – there’s never any doubt that you’re behind the wheel of a 3.2 – but everything feels ‘better’. It’s a classic Carrera for the 21st century.

In 2012, one owner set out with the clear vision to create an old Porsche that felt brand new. The result was a complete rebuild from top to toe – bodywork, paint, running gear, interior – carried out with exceptional attention to detail and, wherever possible, using all new genuine Porsche parts.

The top end of the engine and the 915 5-speed ‘box were rebuilt and tweaked with an additional Danske exhaust system and a short shifter.  The history file tells a story, as does the 911 & Porsche World magazine article from 2012 where this car also featured on the front cover.  Parts alone exceeded £34,000, much of it invested in areas where most people wouldn’t even notice – plus the bodywork, repaint and interior, not to mention the labour costs…..this was a no-compromise project.  Now, approximately 10,000 miles later, the high quality of the build is still unmistakeable. Even the underside, glowing gold with wax protection, is worthy of its own photoshoot.
