Description
Delivered on 8th August, 1990, it was this Porsche's considerable good fortune that it should be sold new through the renowned AFN Porsche of Falcon Works, London Road, Isleworth. The car was supplied new in Tahoe Blue Metallic with a Dark Blue hood and Marine Blue and Linen leatherette interior. It was fitted with the following optional equipment: Blaupunkt Toronto radio cassette, sports seats with electric height adjustment, two speakers on the rear shelf, and a top-tinted windscreen. The car received a top end engine rebuild at 121,000 miles in 2016, along with an extensive body of work to bring it to top notch condition. The Porsche boasts a superb paperwork file, containing the V5, MoTs dating back to 1996, and numerous invoices. The owner has done an excellent job of keeping and organising his paperwork, and he has the invoices to show that thousands of pounds of work has been done during his and previous ownerships, as well as a full record of MoTs since he purchased the car. We are pleased to note that the Porsche retains its Guarantee and Maintenance book, which contains a full service history up to 2008. The owner has also obtained a file from the Porsche Club of Great Britain and two from Cridfords, the Surrey Porsche specialist, but we are most impressed by the Certificate of Authenticity supplied by the Porsche factory, which confirms his car's identity and details its original specification. There is also a booklet explaining the Porsche Lifetime Guarantee, to which the car is entitled, and an instruction manual for the Clifford Concept 300 security system. The Porsche's interior presents exceptionally well, with the Linen leatherette seats in excellent condition for 31 years old. There leatherette of the front seats is showing a few minor cracks, but nothing that detracts from the car's appearance or which is likely to require repairs any time soon. The dash, centre console and door fittings are all superb, and the rear seats do not show any signs of use. The electrically-operated hood and back screen were fully replaced in 2016 and looks as good as new. The car has been fitted a straight-through exhaust to fully appreciated the sound of the air-cooled engine, and when one blips the throttle, the car responds with a fierce bark. The classic shape, the dazzling colour and the ferocious sound of the engine can only get better once the driving begins, but would also suit slow cruise top down, catching the sun.
