The Gold Cup Classic Car Auction

 
  Lot 72
 

1991 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 4 Cabriolet
88,000 miles, comes complete with extensive history file

Registration - J65 TJM

Chassis No. - WPOZZZ96ZL423006

M.O.T. - June 2023

Odometer - 88,686

With its metallic blue bodywork matched to a blue leather interior and blue hood, this smartly-presented 964 Carrera 4 would cut a dash in any company. It has evidently benefited from some recent maintenance by an independent Porsche specialist and comes complete with ample paperwork to support the indicated total mileage of 88,686. The vendor presently grades the flat-six engine, manual six-speed gearbox and convertible bodywork as ‘excellent’ and the paintwork and interior trim a ‘good’. Unfortunately, the Porsche was classified CAT D back in 2005 – reportedly as a result of vandal damage to the hood and paintwork. Long since repaired, the car would surely be a perfect mode of transport for the sunny days ahead. In addition to a selection of old MOTs, ‘J65 TJM’ comes complete with a current one that’s valid to June 25 next year.

Penned by Benjamin Dimson, the 964 was manufactured between 1989 and 1994, when it was supplanted by the last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993. Its more integrated bumpers and other styling updates gave the newcomer a fresh appearance and it was considered by Porsche to be 85 percent new compared to the outgoing 3.2 model. It was also the first 911 to be offered with the option of Tiptronic automatic transmission, four-wheel drive, ABS brakes and power steering. The powerplant was a new naturally-aspirated flat-six unit of 3.6-ltre displacement, the output of which was 248bhp at 6,100rpm. Autocar’s performance figures for the manual gearbox coupe were 0-60mph in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 158mph. The total number of 964s produced was 53,180, of which 4,802 were Carrera 4 Cabriolets.

In summary:

  • Smartly presented with a warranted mileage of 88,686
  • Comes complete with good selection of paperwork and virtually a year’s MOT
  • Classified CAT D due to an incident of vandalism in 2005
