1984 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Sport RHD PROJECT on 46mm PMO's SOLD

DEPOSIT TAKEN 02 10 2017


1984 Porsche 911 3. 2 Carrera Sport RHD PROJECT on 46mm PMO Carburetors Black

This is a RHD 1984 Porsche 911 3. 2 Carrera SPORT Targa PROJECT in Black, with Grey Beige Leatherette (Leather seat inlays). It is a matching number (original engined) car with a very good body.

It will need full paint, along with electrical work, engine work, and general recommissioning, but no welding. The body is straight, with no hidden accident damage, and only minimal surface rust in a few places. The kidney bowls and front wings are very good, two of the most common areas to need work.

The engine and gearbox was fully rebuilt 10, 000 miles ago. It looks to be fitted with 964 3. 6 barrels, and pistons, with solex cams, but we have not yet fully id'd the set up. We estimate the horsepower of the engine to be in the 275 to 325 BHP range when running.

We have noticed the Nikasil coating of the cylinders is showing some wear, and also noticed the engine has been built to tight tolerances (deck height, piston to valve, etc) and while the engine will certainly run if built back up as it is, the right thing to do is to fully strip the top end, examine the set up and build it up accordingly with a specific compression ratio in mind, and attention to other details.

It was categorised by insurance as a Category C following an engine fire back in 2011, when these cars were not worth anything like what they are today, and Aviva decided to pay out rather than have the car repaired, which they do when the cost of repair using only genuine porsche parts exceeds 50% of the value of the car, it has no bearing on the actual damage. There is no evidence of the fire whatsoever, and if i didn't mention then you would never know.

The fire damaged the wiring loom, and the owner stripped down the left side of the top end, as the fire had started somewhere near the left carburetor (which in retrospect was unnecessary, but good to check of course). The physical damage was minimal to the car, but it will require engine bay rewiring, new ignition system, paint of the rear body (the car needs full paint anyway), and building the engine back up.

We bought to car to compete in hillclimbs, as being a targa which has factory strengthened sills, and with its special highly tuned engine, it would be ideal for motorsport with a permanent roof fitted (i. e converted to coupe).

The mileage of the car is unknown, while there is plenty of service history from Porsche specialists (Bob Watson, RS Naylor), the mileage is only indicated on the Bob Watson invoices, with the odometer now showing just a hair over 10, 000 miles (it was reset to 00000 following the engine and gearbox rebuild). We did press the previous long term owner on the matter, who had the engine and box rebuilt, and mileage then reset, but he simply simply couldn't remember what it was prior to the resetting, and we have correspondence to confirm.

With our specialist Air Cooled Porsche 911 labour rate being just £40 per hour, we are understandably very busy with customer work, and the car has always been on the back burner as customer works of course always takes the highest priority.

We are more than happy to undertake any work you require for this car, from engine and electrical rewiring, to full paint, and road or track set up, with a full warranly provided any parts we deem necessary are fitted, and all labour is at £40 per hr.

The car is otherwise sold, as is, as a restoration project on a spares or repairs basis. The car is 99% complete, with only a few minor items missing.

We are more than happy to take any of the following below in part exchange INCLUDING future work on the car should you choose it.

* ANY Air Cooled Porsche
* Ferrari 348, 355, 360
* Lotus Esprit - S1, Turbo, John Player Special, or Essex
