The third generation of the Porsche 911, the Type 964, debuted in 1989 and featured for the first time Porsche’s Tiptronic automatic transmission. This era was also when the one-make series for the Porsche 911, the Carrera Cup and the Super Cup debuted, which opened the door to a wide range of users and laid the foundation for the modern era.

The Type 964 featured a host of developments over its predecessor, the Type 930. Not only the engine, but also the powertrain, drive system, and various equipment were thoroughly reviewed. The suspension was changed from a torsion bar to a coil spring type, and modern equipment such as power steering and ABS were installed, greatly improving operability.


This particular example is a RHD 2WD model of the Type 964, known as the 911 Type 964 Carrera 2. The most notable feature is that the chassis has been changed to that of a Carrera RS (confirmed by the chassis number) which features widened rear fenders. The engine remains that of a Carrera 2.

This 1993 model is finished in a striking Maritime Blue with Recaro seats. The odometer shows under 19,000 miles (just over 30,500 km). The car is accompanied by a Japanese import certificate and UK V5 registration certificate, indicating that the car was at one time registered in the UK.
