1990 Porsche 911 (964) C2 Cabriolet

Highlights

  • Desirable manual transmission
  • Extensive service and maintenance record
  • 3.6-litre, air-cooled powertrain
  • Two sets of wheels
  • Dunkelblau paint over Marine Blue interior

The Appeal

With significant mechanical advancements and cosmetic enhancements over the previous generation, the 964 is probably the best of the air-cooled 911s. Consistently sought-after and increasingly collectible, it’s rightly regarded as an automotive masterpiece.

Here we have a very well-kept example, benefitting from an excellent blue-on-blue colour scheme, a desirable manual drivetrain and a very comprehensive service and maintenance record.

The Interior

  • Marine blue leather upholstery
  • Brand new carpets
  • Optional alarm / immobiliser
  • Clarion radio / CD system
  • Electric windows and mirrors
  • Electrically adjustable seats

Perfectly complementing the dunkelblau paintwork, the Marine Blue upholstery is in very good condition for the vehicle’s age. The front seats, which feature a striking white contrast piping detail, were sympathetically restored in July 2021. They wear a light patina and some minor wear, but they are overall in very good condition. Alongside the refreshed seats, the deep blue carpets are newly fitted and look excellent.

The dashboard, door cards and other items of internal trim all present very well, with the switchgear and instrumentation being clear and undamaged, with just light wear and minor blemishes commensurate with the car’s age. Clearly, the owner has cherished the car and cared for it very well, and it really does show in the condition it presents in.

We’re told by the vendor that all of the car’s features work perfectly, with the only exception being the air-conditioning, which currently does not function.

As a 2+2, the cabin benefits from a couple of small occasional seats. Perfect for small children or as extra luggage space, it makes the 964 a genuinely usable daily.

At the front, the luggage compartment is lined with neat black carpet in fine condition, and also features the original tool kit and a space-saver spare wheel. Again, everything is in fine condition, with no unexpected wear or damage evident.

The Exterior 

  • Dunkelblau (dark blue) paintwork
  • Refurbished original 16” Porsche alloys
  • Extra set of rare 17” Porsche Tequipment Dyno wheels
  • New tyres on both sets of wheels

With deep, glossy blue paintwork and a matching dark blue fabric roof, the specification of this 964 is subtle, elegant and timeless. The paint presents very well with only very minor blemishes. Similarly, the fabric roof is in lovely condition, with no evidence we could see of damage or splitting. 

All of the external trim, light lenses, glass areas and other features are complete and in fine condition, with no signs of cracks or damage. The electronically activated rear wing works as it should and looks great.

Coming with two complete sets of alloy wheels – the original 16” items which have been refurbished, and a rare set of 17” Porsche Tequipment Dynos – there’s everything here you need to run a full set of summer and winter wheels. Both sets of alloys are wearing new tyres.

Underneath, the car appears to be in exceptional condition for its age, looking very clean, straight and free from corrosion.

The Mechanics 

  • 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six M64 engine
  • 5-speed manual transmission
  • ABS and power steering
  • Front MacPherson struts and rear semi-trailing arms

Like all 964s, the car features a classic air-cooled drivetrain. That meaty 3.6-litre flat-six offers up a healthy 260bhp to the rear wheels, with all that power running through a 5-speed manual gearbox. It’s a tactile and evocative combination that, in our opinion, is absolutely the perfect specification for a classic 911.

At 80,000 miles, the engine had a top-end rebuild. A Hotfilm MAF was fitted, as well as new piston rings, cam shaft and tensioners. We’re told by the vendor that the brakes and suspension have been upgraded. A stainless steel exhaust has also been fitted.

The owner tells us that the car starts, runs and drives beautifully, with no mechanical issues they are aware of. With a part main dealer / part independent specialist service history and a vast maintenance record, this does not surprise us. The vehicle currently has an MOT until September 2022, but the owner says that the car will be supplied to its new owner with a fresh 12-month MOT.

Summary

The 964 is an icon for a reason. An enormously desirable car at the best of times, when presented in this kind of condition and with such a brilliant specification, we believe it’s one of the most complete sports cars in existence.
This example has been carefully and meticulously looked after, maintained to a very high standard and is presented in excellent, unrestored condition. The history file is superb and we don’t think we’d ever get bored of that 3.6-litre flat-six / manual transmission combination.
If you’ve always wanted a 964 cabrio, then this is the perfect combination of spec, history and usability.

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.

Ammontare dell'offerta Incremento
Da £0 a £9,999 £100.00
Da £10,000 a £49,999 £250.00
Da £50,000 a £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

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.
