Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this ultra-low mileage, right hand drive, wide-bodied 911 Speedster 3.2. Finished in the sought-after Silver metallic, this is a special example of an already- rare Porsche. The 911 Speedster was essentially designed as a fine weather vehicle and open-air Porsche driving had never been so much fun. Evidently, the last collector owner held the Speedster for over 34 years.
One of just 139 right-hand drive Speedsters, the inspiration for the car was derived from the wonderful 356 Porsche Speedsters of the 1950’s. With its lowered seat height, and steeply raked windscreen, and curved speed humps, the Speedster provides a great driving experience and makes a very impressive design statement.
The premise for the development of the 911 Carrera was more power, combined with reduced fuel consumption. So, a re-design of the engine’s inlet and exhaust systems, the fitment of a service-free Digital Engine Management ignition system (DME) in conjunction with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel metering was undertaken. The result was a significant increase in engine performance but a significant reduction in fuel consumption, through better engine efficiency and fuel cut-off when coasting.
With a capacity of 3.2 litres and a high compression ratio of 10.3:1, the air-cooled 6-cylinder, horizontally opposed engine of the Carrera, produces an output of 170 kW (231 BHP) at 5,900 rpm. Maximum torque is 284 Nm at 4,800 rpm. The acceleration time is 6.1 seconds and top speed 152 mph.
Supplied new by Charles Follet, London, Porsche in December 1989 to a well-known Porsche collector, our wonderful 911 Speedster boasts a service history with Porsche main dealers in UK and Spain. It has now been freshly serviced, a new N-rated tyre set fitted. It has had just 3 former keepers and comes complete with the historic MOT certificates, original handbook pack and tool roll. This is an opportunity to own a great example of this iconic 911 model. The 911 Speedster will also be supplied with a 12-month comprehensive warranty policy.
