Sought-after Super Sport wide-body variant of the air-cooled 3.2 Carrera
Presented in an appealing factory colour combination of Dark Blue over Cream with blue piping
Documented history with records spanning 40 years from new
Major service completed in July 2026 with extensive work carried out
MOT valid to August 2027 with a clean, first-time pass
The Appeal
The Super Sport - or SSE - represents one of the most visually striking iterations of the G-series 911, grafting the muscular wide-body wings of the 930 Turbo onto the naturally aspirated 3.2 Carrera platform. The car, as a result, keeps up true Stuttgart magic at its best - the mechanical purity of Porsche's flat-six coupled with a considerably more aggressive stance. If you then throw open-air motoring into the mix, you've got a fabulous classic on your hands.
This 1986 example is presented in a handsome factory scheme of Dark Blue with a matching soft top, swaddling a cream leather cabin accented by blue piping; it's an evocative combination that suits the car's wide-body proportions particularly well. The cabin has been retrimmed and the car sits on period-correct 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with polished lips.
The car benefits from a documented history stretching back to its first recorded mileage in April 1986, supported by the owner's book pack, service book, and various invoices. A wide-ranging service was carried out in July 2026, and further mechanical attention over the years has included a gearbox rebuild and various other works detailed below. It comes to market with the reassurance of a clean, first-time MOT pass achieved in August 2026.

Thanks to its widened stance, the SSE 911 feels lower, sleeker and altogether more aggressive than its original counterpart. It's little wonder they've become so desirable; they look incredible, and in this particular colour scheme of dark blue over cream, are remarkably evocative machines. The vendor reports that everything inside the cabin is working as it should, and that the bodywork presents nicely. 191 Greg Copeland.jpg2.05 MB
