Painted Guards Red with the original tan leather interior, this is the classic colour combination most enthusiasts yearn for. The colours are timeless and suit the shape of the G-Series perfectly. The car presents very well: clean body lines, good panel gaps, no visible rust on the body or underside. It was repainted at some point — which is perfectly normal for a car of this age — and the result is very successful. The Targa roof is in good condition and seals correctly.
But the real strength of this example lies in its mechanical integrity. It features a 3. 2 L air‑cooled flat‑six engine with matching numbers and 119, 600 km on the clock. The engine spins exceptionally strongly and smoothly, just as a well‑maintained Carrera should. Oil pressure is correct, operating temperatures are stable and the car feels structurally rigid on the road.
Factory output of the 3. 2 Carrera is around 231 bhp at 5, 900 rpm and 284 Nm of torque at 4, 800 rpm, delivering 0–100 km/ h in about 6. 1 seconds and a top speed close to 245 km/ h. In a car weighing well under 1, 300 kg, that remains a truly engaging and authentic driving experience.
The key feature of this late 1987 model is the G50 manual gearbox. Introduced in 1987, the G50 transmission is widely regarded as the most desirable box fitted to the 3. 2 Carrera. With its stronger construction and hydraulic clutch system, it offers noticeably smoother and crisper gear changes compared with the earlier 915 boxes. This example shifts through all gears with confidence and smoothness, and the clutch is in good condition.
In June 2025 the car received a major service, including a brake system overhaul. It is accompanied by numerous service invoices spanning many years up to very recently, demonstrating regular maintenance rather than sporadic care.
Inside, the original tan leather seats are in very good condition. The dash is crack‑free — which isn’t always guaranteed on cars of this era. The interior looks honest and well‑preserved, and not over-restored. This isn’t a concours‑grade “trailer queen.”
This is a technically solid vehicle, structurally sound and very presentable for road use. Exactly the kind of air‑cooled 911 you can buy, drive and enjoy — without fearing to actually drive it.
Late 3. 2 Carrera models with the G50 box represent the final evolution of the classic G‑Series before the 964 generation. They combine iconic styling with improved usability and durability. Demand for well‑maintained G50 examples remains strong across Europe, and values have shown steady upward progression in recent years.
