Introduced in 1989 during one of the marque’s most challenging times financially, the 964 marked a pivotal moment for Porsche, initiating the turnaround of the beleaguered company by appealing to a broader audience through its seamless blending of the classic 911 aesthetics with modern technological advancements.

The 964 offered an extended model range that included, for the very first time in a 911, a proper automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive variant in the Carrera 4.

Under the hood, the 964 retained the air-cooled flat-six engine, staying true to the 911’s heritage while incorporating improvements for increased performance and efficiency.

The 964 is often praised for its balance between classic charm and contemporary performance, making it a highly sought-after collectible for automotive enthusiasts. Its classic silhouette and distinctive speed-sensitive rear spoiler help retain its aesthetic allure, while its extensively modernised driving dynamics make it a joy on both country and city roads.

In the broader context of the Porsche 911 lineage, the 964 holds a special place as a bridge between the original 911 design and the more modern iterations that followed.

This 100% spotless example has undergone a 15-month, no-expense-spared restoration exercise and looks nary a day older than when it left the factory gates at Stuttgart in 1990.

Every aspect of this Concours d’Elegance worthy example has been painstakingly looked into, from the bodywork to the interior, the engine to the gearbox, and the suspension system to the brakes, worked on only by dedicated Porsche specialists and our island’s best artisans, and all strictly with original Porsche parts only, down to the leather and carpets. Even the Blaupunkt stereo is period correct!
