It is in perfect condition and has never been involved in an accident. Most of the paintwork is original, with thicknesses of around 100 microns. Only the front hood, front left wing and left door have had a small coat of paint (max. thickness 250 microns) applied at Porsche in 2000.
The interior is in very good condition, and the leathers are not damaged or marked. This car has always been very well looked after and runs perfectly.
A major overhaul has just been carried out.

In August 1989, Porsche presented the replacement for the 911 Carrera 3.2L, available only with all-wheel drive. This came as a shock to Porsche enthusiasts (which rhymes with purists)! Despite this, the name Carrera 4 gave reason to hope that there would be a 911 Carrera 2, since Porsche was betting big on its new generation of 911s and couldn’t do without its regular customers. The following year, shortly after the launch of the Carrera 4, the 2-wheel-drive 911 (Carrera 2) was released. Aesthetically, the two cars appear identical, with the obvious exception of the logo on the hood.
Naysayers and neophytes will even say that since the 3.2L, only the bumpers have evolved… In reality, appearances are deceiving: the 911 type 964 is 85% new. On the specification sheet, the difference between the C2 and C4 is limited to a weight reduction of 35 kg – resulting in a change in weight distribution more in keeping with the 911 spirit, with 40% on the front and 60% on the rear.
The Carrera 2’s flat 6 is strictly identical to that of the Carrera 4. No need to be jealous. Just a reminder that this 3.6-liter engine delivers 250 bhp at 6,100 rpm and 310 Nm at 4,800 rpm, for a claimed weight of 1,350 kg. The cylinder head, which was initially attached directly to the engine block without a head gasket, gave rise to sealing problems, resulting in oil leaks on many models up to ’91. A competition-inspired innovation, dual ignition also brought its share of mishaps, due to a poorly designed distributor.
1992 was a year of change for the 911 Carrera 2. To begin with, the engines were overhauled after a number of teething problems. Sealing was reinforced, the dual mass flywheel changed supplier (LUK) and the dual ignition distributors were cooled to prevent belt breakage.
Porsche markets the 964 in 3 body styles: coupé, cabriolet and Targa, all with 2 or 4-wheel drive. Only 844 examples of the 964 Carrera 4 Targa were produced.
