Good solid cars are rare birds now with this model being a true classic, a term too loosely applied these days though in this case quite apt.

Chassis : WPOZZZ91ZBS100178 Engine : 6310253 Colour : Schwartz Black Cabin : Black and White Pascha Tombstone Sports seats History A C16 Uk car first registered and pre delivery inspected by Charles Follet Porsche in London on 06 10 1980. The history is impressive, not just a stamped booklet which in itself is full some years ago, the file is thick containing receipts and documentation dating back to 1984. Included in this is incredibly correspondence in late 79 to the first owner pre delivery. It is clear it has been loved all its life with a service history portfolio to prove it. As mentioned it is unusual to find A 37 year old Porsche with such a comprehensive file of receipts dating back to 1984 trailing all the way forward, the MOT history is complete from 1983 on. It has had 8 owners in total though of note in long term ownership from 97 to 2017 with the most recent keeper. The engine was stripped and rebuilt just 3000 miles ago by JCT 600 Official Porsche Centre. During this overhaul all the oil cooler pipes were replaced at considerable cost and the rear crank seal being rebuilt. Aside routine maintenance other recent costs have included a new windscreen washer pump, new bonnet struts and a new battery. Bramd new windscreen just fitted also due to factory screen having some chips. A new fuel tank was fitted a few years ago. A UK car that is unmolested and unmodified, this is a matching numbers car as it left the factory. The history is right back to day one inclusive of full MOT history dating right back to the first one in 1983. It was available at launch in both standard and sport variants, the sport featured front and rear spoilers which tended to dominate the car, whilst the non - sport carried over the more delicate appearance of earlier variants with no spoilers. At the time the Sport was visually more dramatic and was far more successful in terms of sales, today it is the early " non - sport" look that is in vogue. Evidence of this is the number of sport models, particularly later cars that have had their spoilers removed to achieve the simple lines of the early cars. Drive The free revving nature of the 3.0 engine is a welcome friend and it sounds wonderful. The car feels very tight to drive and with considerable power from the motor and an easy 915 gearbox that has served the model so well. The age of this car can largely be ignored, the condition is that strong. On the road the suspension and brakes are sharp, the engine runs like a sewing machine.

Interior The entire interior has been left untouched as it left the factory displaying a fantastically honest patina which remains in great condition. Equally the dash and extended trim is also in a fine state of preservation managing to smell exactly as it should, all part of the occasion. Summary A beautiful appreciating classic. With a degree of confidence I can state this is one of the best air cooled cars we have had in a long time, rock solid with everything working just as it should. This is a car that can be driven with total confidence on cross continent journey’s or simply taken to your local Porsche meet where it will stand proud with best examples of the breed.
