Long regarded as the high-point of the air-cooled 911 range, the 964 is a very desirable and collectible machine, offering a retro, air-cooled driving experience with more refined and modern dynamics.
Here we have a Carrera 2 Cabriolet which benefits from a truly excellent service history and a near perfect specification to complement that wonderful reputation.
If you’ve been looking for a 964 Cabriolet, this simply must be on your shortlist.
Nobody does interiors quite like the Germans, which is evident in this lovely period cabriolet.
The original navy blue leather seats are finished with contrasting white piping and look in largely good condition, with some light wear evident as you’d expect in a 32 year old car.
Looking at the driver’s seats, there is the usual wear to the outer bolster, with some minor splitting to the leather and piping. The only other issue with the seats is that the recline and forward/backward adjustment on the passenger seat has to be done manually, as the electric function on this seat is not functioning.
The occasional rear seats are in very fine condition and perfect for children, or as a little extra luggage space. Likewise the door cards present very well, with no notable wear or damage to their upholstery or trim.
The blue-grey carpet of the cabin works very well with the deep blue leather and is presented in good condition, with new genuine Porsche over-mats in a complementary shade of navy blue.
With a nicely designed and simple dash layout, the 964 feels classically timeless and elegant from the driver’s seat. Everything appears to be original and in a good state, with no trim missing or broken.
We noted a little clouding to the clear plastic of the oil and fuel gauges, but it does not affect their usability.
The owner has added a modern Blaupunkt Bremen stereo system, which has smart period styling but offers many modern functions including: DAB, USB, SD card reading, Bluetooth connectivity (including hands-free) and an Aux connection. We’re told by the owner that all of the car’s switchgear and controls operate as they should, with no faults to report.
At the front, the luggage area is nicely trimmed and presented in fine condition, with a space-saver spare wheel, first aid kit and toolkit present and correct.
Few cars suit white as well as a 911 - this excellent Grand Prix White paintwork really does show off the car’s proportions and styling very well.
With the roof offering a smart contrast to the white paint, and looking to be in excellent condition with no wear, UV damage or tears we could see, it makes for a very handsome vehicle indeed.
Looking at the paint and bodywork, it’s clearly been very well cared for and lovingly maintained. The paint looks glossy, nicely finished and all of the bodywork appears straight and undamaged.
There is certainly no evidence of corrosion we observed. Even the door shuts and arches – known failure points on the 911 – present superbly well. The owner notes that there are a few stone chips on the bonnet, and one or two minor blemishes on the bodywork and external trim, but nothing that should be of concern.
Some work has been carried out externally, with fresh paint having been applied to the bonnet and wings to keep them looking their best. The car also features the tear drop mirrors and the Cup 1 alloy wheels, which have been recently refurbished and so look very well indeed. They’re shod with brand new Pirelli P Zero Nero tyres, which we’re told have covered less than 1,000 miles.
The wide rear spoiler, which rises at 50mph, operates as it should, and adds a dash of sporting intent to the styling.
Underneath, the car looks very clean indeed, with no notable damage or corrosion we could see. There were the usual scrapes to the undertrays, but nothing that would worry us.
Few drivetrains are as evocative or melodious as an air-cooled flat-six.
It’s an instantly recognisable sound with echoes of Porsche’s vast motorsport heritage.
Presented here in 3.6-litre form, twinned with a manual transmission (a rare option for the cabriolet) alongside the rear-wheel drive platform of the Carrera 2, it makes for an engaging and extremely desirable driving experience.
Other features of the 964 generation were ABS, power steering, coils and springs all round and an all-aluminium, dry-sumped engine.
With a full dealer and specialist service history, the owner tells us that the car performs brilliantly, with no mechanical issues and fine driving manners.
They report that the car accelerates and handles just as it should, with no smoke, leaks or unwanted noises.
If you're going to experience one Porsche 911 in your life, it should definitely be the 964.
With a classic air-cooled drivetrain and some extremely fine engineering, it’s everything it’s reputed to be and then some.
This example comes in highly sought-after manual Carrera 2 specification, with a brilliant service history and lovely white-over-navy colour scheme. Add in that cabriolet roof and you have all the sports car you could ever need.
As a way to enjoy a classic sports car feel without having to make many compromises, this is difficult to beat.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
