1984 | Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

Every so often, a car arrives at Cathedral Classics that stands out as truly exceptional — and this 1985 model Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is precisely that. Delivered new in December 1984 by Porsche-Direkthändler Ernst Islinger in Mannheim, Germany, this remarkable example, chassis number WPOZZZ91FFS101057, was finished in the rare and eye-catching Iris Blue Metallic (code S3S3) - a colour offered by Porsche for only two years. The beautifully preserved blue leather interior perfectly complements the exterior, making for a timeless and elegant combination.

Still equipped with its original matching-numbers engine and gearbox, this 911 features the Type 930/20 engine (number 63F01249) and the Type 915/72 gearbox (number 73F01718), producing an impressive 171 kW (231 PS) from its lively 3164 cc air-cooled flat-six. Certified by a Porsche Certificate issued in 2017, this Carrera Coupe is a distinguished example of Porsche’s revered air-cooled heritage.

The car’s extensive history file shows it remained in the Mannheim region until 1994, its careful upkeep evidenced by 16 service stamps in the original Service Booklet. From 1995 to 2013, the 911 was cherished by what is believed to be two meticulous Dutch owners in the Netherlands. This chapter is equally well-documented, with mileage recorded rising steadily from 138,800 km in 1995 to 204,659 km by December 2013 - a clear testament to consistent and attentive ownership.

Returning to Germany in late 2013 under a documented sales agreement, the new owner continued the car’s careful stewardship. Between 2014 and 2016, the car underwent a complete bare-metal restoration and repaint in its original factory colour - an extraordinary demonstration of passion and dedication.

In 2019, the 911 changed hands once again, with all documentation present. The new German owner continued the tradition of meticulous care, investing further into preserving and enhancing this special car. Recent work includes:

• New Porsche-specified Pirelli tyres (255 rear / 205 front), fitted to lightweight 17” Fiske alloy wheels crafted from aircraft-grade aluminium. The original Fuchs alloys, complete with quality Bridgestone rubber, are also included.

• A Dansk stainless steel exhaust system.

• New chrome headlight surrounds and fresh rubber seals (original parts retained).

• New Porsche-branded floor mats.

• Overhauled 915 gearbox in 2020.

• New clutch installed within the last couple of years (approx. 2,000 km travelled since).

• Recent oil and filter service.

• Restored original leather steering wheel.

• Porsche-supplied Carrera rear spoiler, with the original flat engine lid also accompanying the car.

• Recent cavity sealing treatment to ensure long-term preservation.

• The interior is also signed by the famous German rally driver Walter Röhrl

Offered with a freshly issued German TÜV (March 2025) and a new insurance valuation report from the same month, this car is a standout example for the discerning Porsche aficionado. With its rare colour combination, matching-numbers pedigree, extensive documentation, and enthusiast ownership, this 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe awaits its next passionate custodian.
