We are delighted to offer this very special car onto the market. This Porsche Carrera 3. 2 was ordered from the factory with the M491 option, known as the Werks Turbo look or Supersport for the UK market. This desirable option included the wider turbo wheel arches, upgraded suspension with turbo trailing arms and the bigger wheels and superb turbo brakes. This matching numbers example was purchased in 2009 by the Director or Porsche Tech, London who had his team carry out a comprehensive rebuild and project that soon progressed to become a show piece for Porsche Tech and with the Supersport featuring wide steel rear wings, the decision was taken to rebuild the car as an accurate evocation of the RSR, incorporating a working front mounted oil cooler while keeping the engine totally stock for the drivability desired ? it was to be a North London daily driver. 8000 miles have been covered since completion and the car is truly sensational.
On initial purchase the 911 stripped to a bare shell ahead of a complete nut and bolt rebuild. This way, the owner could ensure the shell was as good as new and the mechanicals would prove to be reliable. A photo record shows the bare shell being taken back to bare metal and all corroded metal being removed and replaced by renowned Porsche specialists, 911 Bodyshop in North London. A thorough record gives the detail of all metal work carried out ahead of preparation for a full re-paint in Grand Prix White. On completion of the body restoration, re-paint and RSR modifications, the car left the trusted Bodywork specialists to return to Porsche Tech for fitting up. The Porsche was then re-fitted with its now fully rebuilt engine, rebuild to standard 3. 2L specification and rebuilt gearbox. All mechanical and electrical items showing signs of wear were replaced/ re-conditioned and the car finished to an exceptionally high standard.
Specification wise the Porsche features a Wevo 915 gear shifter, Recaro bucket seats, 4 point harness, lightweight bonnet, ducktail, sports exhaust, air-conditioning, bonnet pins, front mounted oil cooler, deleted sunroof and rear seat, original Fuchs alloys, RSR roll cage, door cards, wing mirrors, rear bumper, front spoiler and RSR style fuelling system. Reportedly the car has lost 300 lbs in weight and on the road the car is beautifully setup and handles superbly with Bilstein Sports shock absorbers fitted to the front and rear. With its rebuilt engine and gearbox, the car is incredibly fit and having been checked over with a local 911 specialist we can confirm the car is excellent mechanically and impressive on the road. The bodyshell is quite simply outstanding, paintwork beautiful and its RS lightweight style interior very nicely presented. Within the past 2000 miles the Carrera has had a new set of tyres and maintenance to ensure its kept to a very high standard mechanically. This really is an impressive car and considering the costs to rebuild a genuine Supersport to this standard today, this car offers outstanding value.
