Pre-bids

1983 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 3.2

Highlights 

  • Uprated 3.2-litre engine and ‘G50’ gearbox
  • 964 bumpers and cross-spoke alloy wheels
  • Later ‘high back’ front seats
  • Popular Guards Red exterior
  • Voluntary MOT valid until 22 June 2027

The Appeal

 
The Porsche 911 needs little introduction, having maintained and developed its carefully honed blend of performance, driving involvement and usability since being introduced in 1964. The ‘80s ‘flavour’ of 911 remains highly sought-after, and this car is a fine example of a Carrera in Guards Red, benefitting from a restoration in the last decade and upgrades to enhance its performance and appearance.
 
When the car was restored in 2016, it received an uprated 3.2-litre engine as well as a G50 5-speed gearbox. It has been fitted with a Turbo rear wing, 964 bumpers and rear reflector panel, and was resprayed by renowned classic car restorers Carrosserie. Black cross-spoke wheels with silver rims have also been added.
 
The interior is largely original, except for the front seats which are of the ‘high back’ type from a later 911. The seller describes the Targa top and concertina mechanism as being in full working order.
 
The seller bought the car in 2023 and has since spent more than £9,000, including a clutch rebuild, new drive shaft and wheel bearings. The seller states that the car has been kept in a temperature-controlled garage and has been regularly serviced during their ownership. They recently completed the NC500 and attended the 2026 Le Mans Classic, covering a stated 2,500 miles without issue. They say, “It gets a great deal of attention at our local Porsche meets from those attending”.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
