This is a UK right hand drive car complete with a total Porsche dealer service record it has always been serviced within the dealer network, which at this age, is a rarity. Servicing & Bills - Engine & Box Rebuilt Maintained at all times throughout its life by qualified technicians and respected outfits. In December 2007 and only 6000 miles ago the engine was stripped down and rebuilt by Riddelsdell Bros motor engineers. The car had various oil leaks and following further investigation broken head studs, so the engine and gearbox were removed and the engine stripped down and rebuilt with new seals. The bearings and tensioners were all checked for wear and the report stated the car to have excellent hot oil pressure and to be in fine mechanical condition, which very little mileage later, it remains in. The gearbox was sent to Europorsche and overhauled replenishing various gear selector components, plus new seals and gaskets, and a new clutch fitted. Some other relevant work within this last 6000 mile window has included an expensive new oil cooler, a reconditioned steering rack, and the mirror motors replaced. The sunroof has had a new motor fitted with a new seal, and the blower motor for the heater has been replaced. Originality + Other Information The history is impressive. Its a huge file, paperwork dating right back to the early years. The car is rock solid underneath with no welding or accident damage and a tidy original looking underside, everything has been kept standard. Comes complete with owner's manual, stamped up service book, stereo manual, and it retains its original date-stamped spare wheel, jack, and tool roll. The considerable history adds up to rather an impressive spend and is a file to be proud of. It sits perfectly on its standard suspension set-up, with no clunks or knocks either, just a solid firm and well absorbed ride. This is an all systems go car ready to be enjoyed when the mood and the weather allows. The car moves as one whole piece, the gearbox and steering feel great and its exhilarating to drive. Exterior Condition Timeless and classic Guards Red. This was a remarkably solid car when it came in that had been loved and dry stored. Our appraisal identified the front and rear bumpers requiring improvement alongside some other cosmetics on other panels, none of which much of an issue for a car of its age. All aspects of the body have been inspected to satisfy the absolute integrity of the chassis. Cabin The interior is in time warp condition, bone dry and has the feel of a clean cared for interior with excellent dash, headlining, door cards, chairs and carpets. Next to no wear at all to any switchgear, gear shift, steering wheel etc, in reality these interiors were designed to take some punishment, which makes a well kept cars interior all the more special. No repairs aboard the cabin, so the seats are complete wit original panels, the headlining is original, as are all the door cards, as are the mats and carpets, nothing changed and all with a beautiful patina.
