I am listing this 1991 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Coupé on behalf of a friend who is the current owner.
The car was manufactured on 13 February 1991 and first registered in Japan on 24 April 1991. It is a left-hand-drive, rear-wheel-drive Carrera 2 powered by Porsche’s 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six producing 250 PS and equipped with the four-speed Tiptronic transmission.
It has now covered approximately 135,000 km (83,885 miles).
One of the most notable aspects of this particular car is the depth of its history. Although the original Japanese service book is no longer present, there is an unusually comprehensive collection of documentation covering the car’s life in Japan, Belgium and, more recently, the Channel Islands.
The factory identification label survives and confirms the car as a Japanese-market C08 example, originally finished in Q9/Q9 Slate Grey Metallic with black leather interior.
The car remained in Japan until 2007. Surviving Japanese documentation records its mileage at various points, including 52,737 km in 1997, 73,879 km in 2001, 83,823 km in 2004 and 107,010 km in 2007.
It was exported to Belgium in November 2007 at 107,687 km and homologated there the following month at 107,770 km.
The Porsche subsequently spent approximately 17 years in Belgium, during which time it was maintained by Porsche specialists including WV-CARS and Garage Van Beurden.
The history file contains Belgian inspection records and numerous invoices documenting both mileage and maintenance throughout this period.
It was sold by Garage Van Beurden in March 2024 at a documented 131,271 km and subsequently imported to Guernsey in the Channel Islands.
Engine overhaul
A particularly important part of the history is the documented engine overhaul carried out in March 2015 at 126,522 km.
The work is supported not only by a detailed invoice but also by an extensive photographic record of the engine dismantled during the rebuild.
The documented work included attention to the crankcase and bearings, crankshaft, oil pump, cylinders, valves and camshafts, together with replacement seals, bolts and wear components.
Reinforced 993-type studs were fitted along with valve covers, belts, filters and spark plugs, and the valves were adjusted as part of the work.
The invoice for the engine overhaul was €8,431.98.
Original Tiptronic transmission rebuilt
The Tiptronic transmission has also received substantial documented investment.
Following an oil leak and gearbox problem in 2016, the original transmission was removed and sent to Auto-Tech in Belgium for a comprehensive overhaul.
The rebuild included friction plates, seals, O-rings and bearings, together with inspection and reworking of internal components as required. The torque converter was also rebuilt.
Importantly, the documentation records the car’s original gearbox, number 1005238, being refitted in March 2017. This is the same transmission number recorded in the original factory documentation.
The transmission overhaul invoice alone amounted to €6,146.64, excluding the associated removal, refitting and other maintenance work.
The documented engine and transmission work therefore represents more than €14,500 of expenditure before the car’s numerous other maintenance invoices are considered.
Further maintenance
The history file records extensive additional maintenance over the years, including servicing and valve adjustment, brake discs and pads, Bilstein B6 dampers front and rear, suspension components, tyres, brake-fluid servicing, starter-motor overhaul, instrument work and regular engine oil and filter changes.
Since arriving in the Channel Islands, the car has continued to receive significant specialist attention.
In May 2025, Harrison Automotive investigated an oil leak from the top of the engine. A hardened and cracked breather hose was identified and replaced, together with associated gaskets and seals.
The camshaft chain housings were also extensively resealed, including replacement seals and O-rings and repair of a spinning stud with a helicoil. New auxiliary belts were fitted during reassembly.
Additional work included a new oil-pressure sender, engine undertray, left-hand lower ball joint, wheel alignment, adjustment of the left-front wheel bearing, replacement horns and a new washer jet.
The invoice for this work totalled £4,955.33.
A new 75Ah battery was fitted by Harrison Automotive in January 2026 following testing of the vehicle’s charging and discharge rates.
A recent report and valuation from Le Riche Automobile Restorers is also included with the car.
Exterior and interior
The car left the factory in Slate Grey Metallic (Q9/Q9), which remains beneath its current finish.
In 2025, the current owner had the car professionally wrapped by Sign Solutions in Jersey using 3M SP10 Satin Pearl White. The wrap was applied to a very high standard and gives the car a distinctive appearance while remaining completely reversible should the next owner wish to return it to its original Slate Grey presentation.
The interior is finished in black leather and presents very well.
Factory equipment includes air conditioning, electric sunroof, rear window wiper, onboard computer, electric windows, electric seat adjustment and central locking. The air conditioning is operational and blows cold.
A Porsche Classic Radio Navigation head unit has also been fitted, providing modern functionality while retaining an appropriately period Porsche appearance.
Wheels
The original Design 90 wheels are no longer with the car.
It is currently presented on genuine Fuchs five-spoke wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres.
A second set of later Porsche GT3-style multi-spoke alloy wheels is also included with the sale.
History file
The history file is one of the most important aspects of this particular 964.
It includes Japanese registration and export documentation, historic Japanese mileage records, Porsche documentation, Belgian homologation and registration records, Belgian inspection records, numerous specialist maintenance invoices, photographs documenting the engine overhaul, detailed records of the Tiptronic rebuild and subsequent documentation covering the car’s eventual sale and export to Guernsey.
The original Porsche book pack is also present, including English-language handbooks, and the car is supplied with two sets of keys.
Taken together, the records provide a continuous and unusually detailed picture of the car’s mileage, provenance and mechanical maintenance over several decades.
Sale
The car is currently registered in Guernsey in the Channel Islands and is available for inspection by appointment.
Worldwide shipping can be arranged and assistance can be provided with transport and export documentation.
For a UK purchaser, the car’s age means it may qualify for the effective 5% import VAT treatment applicable to eligible historic collectors’ vehicles, subject to HMRC classification and the circumstances of the individual import. Buyers should confirm their own import position before purchase.
Further photographs, invoices and documentation are available on request.
