1991 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 manual Coupe. For Sale

Porsche 964 Carrera 2 Manual 1991.
This car has been subject to an amazing amount of time and money being spent on it. The result is a car that is fully sorted and will offer years of reliable service. Not only have the parts that you can see been renewed and refreshed, but all the underlying mechanical parts of the car have been renewed, refurbished, rebuilt or replaced. The cost to do all this work would be prohibitive, I had always planned to keep this one for ever, but a new project is calling me so I will reluctantly let this one go. The base car had a total of just 80, 000 Km before restoration.

Model history
In 1989, Porsche introduced the first major change to the 911 with the launch of the 964, still looking like a 911 it was claimed by Porsche to feature 87% all new components over the outgoing 3. 2 Carrera. The 911 was traditionally a 2wd car but this new 964 initially featured a new 4wd driveline and a powerful 3. 6 twin plug engine, with a 2wd variant following shortly afterwards in 1990.
New coil sprung suspension, ABS and power steering offered a significantly more modern driving experience over the outgoing Carrera whilst performance was brisk too with 0-60mph coming up in 5. 7 seconds and a top speed of 162mph, figures that are still respectable today.
Fast forward 30 years and the 964 looks like a classic 911, being the last to feature the upright headlamps, but with its modern underpinnings, it offers a refined driving experience.
This 964 is not the normal tired example, it has undergone a full and extensive recommissioning. This car started its life in Japan and remained there until it was imported to the UK in 2008, its first UK owner took it to a holiday home in Spain, where it remained largely unused unit it was brought back to the UK in 2018. The lack of regular use and Spanish sun had taken their toll on the paint and interior, however the car has never seen salty British roads and the body and components under the car were in remarkable condition. Having owned a number of 964 and 993s I could see the potential in this 80, 000km car. The car was stripped of engine, gearbox, interior, glass, bumpers and most other items for a full renovation to begin.
Engine
The engine has been treated to a full and comprehensive rebuild with the cases split and new bearings, head studs, valve guides and seats throughout. The tin ware is new; all fasteners have been replaced or re-plated to enhance the engine bay appearance. The engine has been fitted with a CAT bypass and a G pipe and has been remapped to 300 bhp, which gives lively performance and excellent throttle response.
During the rebuild all engine bay fuel lines were replaced for peace of mind. The starter motor was also replaced with a new one.

Transmission
The original transmission was discarded and replaced with a 5 speed Carrera 2 unit complete with option 220 limited slip differential. The replacement gearbox was inspected and rebuilt as needed. The transmission was mated to a genuine Porsche RS lightweight flywheel and clutch, which greatly improves engine response. Both drive shafts were replaced with new genuine Porsche items. In order to ensure reliability, the clutch master and slave cylinder were replaced.

Steering and suspension.
The steering rack was replaced. New Bilstein PSS10 springs and dampers were fitted with the suspension set up to RS settings and ride height. Any other suspension components that were not perfect were replaced.

Wheels and tyres
Genuine Porsche 17 inch cup alloy wheels were sourced and refurbished to as new condition, these are fitted with New Michelin Pilot sport cup tyres that are correctly N3 rated for Porsche. New correct aluminium flat centre caps were fitted. The wheels are secured with new genuine Porsche alloy wheel nuts. The wheels are the rare and more desirable 7. 5 inch fronts with 9 inch rears.

Brakes
The braking system has been overhauled, with new brake discs, pads and wear sensors. The calipers have been overhauled and repainted in correct black with Porsche script in white. Genuine Porsche and Brembo components were used throughout. The ABS ECU and pump were also replaced.

Interior
The dashboard, seats and some other interior items had suffered from sun damage, rather than repair it was decided to replace with carefully sourced genuine Porsche items which have been professionally re trimmed in Porsche quality leather. The Seats are period correct sports seats, which offer superb support and comfort. The carpet set has been replaced with a leather bound set from the renowned trimmer Southbound, the opportunity to replace the soundproofing was also taken. To finish it all off the headlining has been replaced as the original had shrunk. The steering wheel is currently aftermarket Momo Prototipo, however the original standard wheel is included in the sale. The gear lever was replaced with a new genuine Porsche item. The door seals, sill covers, boot seal, window scraper seals and other miscellaneous seals were renewed using genuine Porsche items, ensuring that the interior will stay dry and protected. The window regulator switches were replaced as these are known to fail with age.

In car entertainment
The door and parcel shelf speakers have been replaced with good quality items that match the original dimensions and give an OEM appearance. The head unit is the acclaimed Blaupunkt Bremen SQR46 DAB unit which offers modern convenience of Bluetooth, hands-free and DAB, while looking period correct.

Air conditioning and cooling
Having owned a number of air-cooled Porsches without air conditioning fitted, I was determined to ensure that this car would have a fully functioning HVAC system. To ensure that this would be the case the evaporator, receiver dryer, condenser, fresh air fans and all seals and O-rings in the air conditioning system were replaced using new genuine Porsche parts. I am pleased to report that the heating, cooling and ventilation systems function perfectly, making this a car that can be used with comfort in any conditions.

Exterior.
The car was stripped and treated to a glass out repaint in its original Guards red, rubber trim items have been replaced as needed. The rear lights and centre reflector were replaced with genuine new items from Porsche, as were the front and side indicators, these are in the original amber, which complements the gleaming guards red body work. New Bosch wipers were fitted front and rear. The car is fitted with genuine Porsche cup style electric heated mirrors.
Summary
This car has been subject to an amazing amount of time and money being spent on it. The result is a car that is fully sorted and will offer years of reliable service. Not only have the parts that you can see been renewed and refreshed, but all the underlying mechanical parts of the car have been renewed, refurbished, rebuilt or replaced. The cost to do all this work would be prohibitive, I had always planned to keep this one for ever, but a new project is calling me so I will reluctantly let this one go.
