Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster

As on the standard 911, Porsche’s 3.2-litre air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine drove the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. The 911 Speedster could be ordered with the base “slim” bodywork or wider “turbo-look” bodywork borrowed from the type-930 911 Turbo. The latter was more popular by a large margin, with a total of 1,943 versions of the turbo-look 911 Speedster produced. Meanwhile, only 161 examples, like the example offered here, were produced with the slimmer bodywork.

Not only exceedingly rare but also well-preserved, this 911 Speedster shows only 6,992 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing. It completed production on 8 June 1989 and wears its factory colour scheme of Satin Black Metallic over red leather. The manually adjustable leather seats feature black piping while the instrument housing is finished in red leather, a Porsche Exclusive factory option. Other specifications it was built with include an alarm and velour carpet lining the luggage compartment. The car rides on period-correct Fuchs wheels.

Acquired by the consignor in 2005, this exemplary 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster has been part of a well-kept collection and driven only rarely under current ownership. It is accompanied by factory manuals, a tool roll, and copies of various documentation.

Extremely rare and in remarkably well-preserved condition, this slim-body Speedster is sure to remain one of the most coveted air-cooled Porsches of all time.
