Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera is presented in Ice White with a burgundy leather interior, featuring a desirable turbo wide body and G50 gearbox. Recent work, including a new hood and clutch, enhances its appeal, supported by a history file with maintenance records and a valid MOT until June 2020.
Condition
7
Based on the description, the car has been well-maintained with a recent service, new clutch, and new hood mechanism, but the age suggests there will be some imperfections. The wide-body coachwork is described as 'very good order' which is a positive. However, the description also references maintenance invoices suggesting some work has been done over time.

Description
Many a car enthusiast, at one time or another, has dreamt of owning a Porsche 911 and few have set the pulses racing like the poster car for the 80's generation than the 930 with the iconic whale tail accompanied by fabulous performance.
The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963.
Launched in 1984 and reviving the ‘Carrera' name for the first time since 1977, the most notable advance on the 80's Carrera was the introduction of the 3.2 litre engine; although it remained an air-cooled 'flat six', the 3.2 was 80% new and incorporated an effective cam chain tensioner and associated lubrication system that at last addressed a perennial 911 shortcoming.
With 231bhp on tap, the new 'boxer' motor endowed the Carrera with a level of performance approaching that of the original 911 Turbo of 1974, a torque rich 231bhp, enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds.
