1984 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet

Highlights

• Current keeper since March 2000
• Used primarily for occasional leisurely drives over the past 26 years
• Over £2,500 of mechanical work carried out by a Porsche specialist in September 2026
• Left-hand drive example, originally supplied new in the United States

The Appeal

The 3.2-litre Carrera Cabriolet represents the final evolution of Porsche's original 911 lineage before the introduction of the 964. Powered by the 3,164cc flat-six and mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, it remains a highly regarded air-cooled 911 variant offering open-top motoring with the mechanical character that has long defined the marque.

This particular example was originally purchased new in America in 1984, and imported to the United Kingdom in 1996. The current keeper has owned the car since March 2000, using it sparingly for club outings and leisurely drives.

Finished in Grand Prix White over black leather, the car presents as a notably original example. Factory details such as the data sticker under the front bonnet are still in place. The interior and hood were professionally refurbished in 2010 and, owing to light use since, are reported to remain in fine fettle.

Recent mechanical attention has been thorough, with a Porsche specialist carrying out extensive work in September 2026 totalling over £2,500. Full details of this work are listed below. The vendor states that the car starts, drives, and stops as expected.
