3,164cc SOHC Flat 6-Cylinder Engine Bosch Fuel Injection 217bhp at 5,900rpm 5-Speed Manual G50 Transaxle 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *Highly original example with less than 3,800 miles from new *Retaining the original paint and interior, in delightful Titanium Silver over Bordeaux livery *Rare, one-year-only 911 Speedster with desirable G50 Transaxle lending its lineage to the 356 Speedster *Complete with original manuals, spare keys, tire inflator kit and Certificate of Authenticity THE PORSCHE 911 SPEEDSTER Porsche's first take on an open-top 911 had been the Targa model of 1965. A "halfway house" design chosen because of fears that a genuine soft-top would not meet US federal safety regulations, but by 1981 the company felt able to proceed with the genuine article. Introduced in normally aspirated 3.0-liter form in 1982, the 911 Cabriolet proved a hit from the moment it debuted at the Geneva Salon in March. By the end of the 1983 model year, it had sold over 4,000 units, a total some 50% higher than that achieved by the less expensive Targa version. Completing the soft-top 911 line-up was the Speedster, which revived a charismatic model from Porsche's past when it arrived in 1989. The name was previously applied to many of the stylish Type 356 variants. The 3.2-liter Speedster was launched immediately prior to the introduction of the new Type 964 bodyshell; thus, was the last 911 model to feature the old-style body based on the original design of 1963. The latter was reworked by chief stylist Tony Lapine, incorporating numerous references to the original 356 Speedster, as well as a pair of controversial "camel hump" cowlings behind the seats that concealed the stowed-away manual top—a simplified affair described by the factory as for "temporary" use only. From 1984 Porsche had offered the "Turbo Look" body style—flared wheel arches, large rear wing and deeper front spoiler—on its normally aspirated models. This option was extended to the Speedster, the vast majority of which were ordered with it. One of the rarest of the 911 family, the Speedster was built during 1989 only, and a mere 2,065 cars were completed. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED The highly original, low-mileage Speedster on offer here was completed at the Zuffenhausen-based Porsche works in June of 1989. Finished as it appears today, the Speedster left the factory in the striking Titanium Silver color over a Bordeaux leather interior with matching carpets; a stunningly beautiful livery for the model, and authentically in tune with the era it was built. This special 911 was equipped with the US market emissions system and destined for the North American market. The car's original warranty book was stamped on August 25, 1989, and the car soon after found its first US owner. By the mid 1990s, the Speedster was exported to Jersey Island, where it has remained with just one owner until now. The Porsche has been kept in extremely good care and remains original throughout. Having been rarely driven, the car has only covered 3,768 miles from the time it left the factory to the time of cataloging. The Speedster has been continually stored inside, which has kept the car in "time capsule" condition and is really as original as they come. This superb 911 Speedster is complete with its original owner's and warranty manuals in pouch, spare keys, tire inflator kit, and its Porsche-issued factory Certificate of Authenticity detailing its original specification. From the very end of what is considered the original 911 design and benefiting from all the significant production upgrades such as the G50 5-speed transaxle, this top-of-the-line Speedster is rapidly becoming as collectible as its namesake 1950s progenitor. Finding one in original and unharmed condition like this car, with less than 3,800 miles on the odometer and trimmed in a superb and rare livery, is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
