Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2
The 3.2 Carrera took the flat-six to 3,164 cc, added DME digital engine management and produced 231 PS. Built until 1989 with a body galvanised from new, it is with the SC one of the most approachable air-cooled 911s to own: good parts supply, a well-developed specialist network and faults that are thoroughly understood.
What moves the price
- Variant: the Club Sport and the Speedster are the collector versions; the Coupé is the bulk of production.
- Colour: original Guards Red, Slate Blue, Black or Flint Grey are the colours the market favours.
- Documentation and originality: a documented car in its correct colour sits well above a respray in a different one.
Before you buy, check
- The DME engine management: its electronics can fail with age, and specialist refurbishment is available.
- The sills and floors, even on a galvanised body.
- A full service history, ideally with a recognised air-cooled specialist.
