Description
The Paddock is the specialist in Auvergne for sourcing and selling sport & collection vehicles. We sell many cars remotely, thanks to the care and professionalism we apply at every stage of the sale (selection, inspection, preparation, delivery). _________________________________________________ We’re offering a particularly rare example of the legendary 911 Carrera 3. 2L Targa Turbo Look (factory option M491), delivered new in 1985. Around 327 units sold worldwide. Key highlights of this example: – Genuine M491 – 5 known owners, including the same owner for the last 15 years – Exceptional history file (more than 115 documents available) – 2025 mechanical restoration (with photos) – Assessment carried out in 2026 _________________________________________________ This car isn’t a conversion but a true Turbo Look built as standard, confirmed by an official letter from Porsche France mentioning option 491. This Targa specification combined with the factory Turbo Look package makes it one of the most sought-after variants of the Carrera 3. 2. A genuine icon of classic Porsches, the 911 Carrera 3. 2 Targa Turbo Look (M491) pairs the character of the 231bhp naturally aspirated Flat-6 with the dramatic styling and running gear of the 930 Turbo. Produced in extremely limited numbers, this configuration is today among the rarest and most highly coveted versions of the G-generation, both for its exclusivity and for its collecting potential. _________________________________________________ History: This Porsche has an especially well-documented history, built up over more than 30 years: - Owner history tracking - Numerous invoices - Previous technical inspection reports - Coherent mileage tracking log - Porsche documentation - Significant photographic file More than 115 documents are listed in a binder detailing the life of the vehicle. The car totals 180, 700 km (and rising). _________________________________________________ Major mechanical restoration in 2025 (approx. €10 / €15, 000 in costs): To ensure perfect reliability, a major mechanical intervention was carried out in 2025. Main work carried out: - Engine and gearbox removal - Clutch - Engine gaskets - Rocker cover - Engine oil changes - Gearbox oil change - Brakes - Engine mount - Oil radiator - Full cleaning - Valve clearance adjustment - Spark plugs - Fuel filter - Gear selector bushings Photos of this work are included in the file. _________________________________________________ Equipment and options: - Factory Turbo Look M491 - 915 manual gearbox - Electric Sport seats - Cruise control - Central locking - Leather steering wheel - Fabric door panels - Upgraded battery _________________________________________________ Condition: The car is presented in excellent overall preservation. It remains a car of more than 40 years old and still shows a few marks of time that attest to its authenticity. It isn’t presented as a concours-ready car. Some bodywork areas in particular may need touching up to perfect this example. The underbody is solid and the mechanical components run perfectly, according to the inspection report. _________________________________________________ Assessment: An independent assessment carried out in June 2026 concludes in particular: - Excellent mechanical condition - No leaks - Very satisfactory overall presentation - Replacement value stated by the expert: €160, 000. _________________________________________________ Why this example? Today, it becomes extremely difficult to find a genuine M491 offering: its authenticity confirmed, a history as complete as this, an extensive invoice file, a recent mechanical restoration, and total transparency regarding its condition (assessment available). This is an example aimed above all at an enthusiast and collector seeking an authentic, rare Porsche with perfectly documented history. It’s ready to be driven. “Normal” registration document (carte grise). Price = €149, 990. _________________________________________________ Road-ready fees to add = €390.
