‘Designed by Benjamin Dimson through January 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models, most prominently the more integrated bumpers. It was the first car to be offered with Porsche’s Tiptronic automatic transmission and all wheel drive as options.

‘With the recession of the late 1980s, the yuppy market that had adored Porsches began to diminish.

‘Part of the problem with 911 Carrera sales was that with the cars’ yuppy popularity – and therefore it being no longer a rare sight on global streets – its exclusivity had inevitably diminished. Whilst still an undiminished status symbol, there were now a good few of them about – not good for those for whom rarity was prized. And coupled to this was the paradox that in 1989, the last year of the model, only 7,000 Porsches 3.2 Carreras were built.

‘By 1990 Porsche was feeling the chill winds of recession.

‘And we at Beverly Hills Car Club have one of the very last of these very rare cars ever made, an amazing and highly collectible 1994 Porsche 964 Carrera 4 Wide-Body Coupe (1 of 267 ever produced). Available in Guards Red with a black interior, the vehicle comes equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, Flat 6 Cylinder 3.6-liter engine, automatic speed control, air conditioning, power windows, power steering, sunroof, 4-wheel disc brakes, and spare tire.

‘Also included is the original owner’s manual, maintenance booklet as well as service documents and receipts copies dating from 2000 to 2021 totaling over $37,000. Do not miss your chance to jump into the ownership of this one-year limited-production factory Wide-Body air-cooled 964 that is mechanically sound.

‘The 964 was considered to be 85% new as compared to its predecessor, the Carrera 3.2. The suspension was redesigned using coil springs instead of torsion bars, the first major engineering changes since the original 911. The front suspension used MacPherson struts, a system that has continued for all subsequent versions, but the rear suspension retained semi-trailing arms.

‘A revised interior featured standard dual airbags beginning in late 1989 for all North American production 1990 MY cars. A new automatic climate control system provided improved heating and cooling. Revised instrumentation housed a large set of warning lights that were tied into the car’s central warning system, alerting the driver to a possible problem or malfunction.

‘I have always been especially fond of Porsches and this Porsche 964 Carrera 4 Wide-Body Coupe glides along the road like a dream, one of the loveliest cars I can recall motoring in. Porsches are always a fabulous ride, but this is one of the nicest car I have ever been in.

‘As we know, in a 1999 poll to determine the Car of the Century the Porsche 911 came in at the number 5 slot. (Some of us might think it should have come rather higher…) Along with the original Beetle, the 911 was one of the two in that top 5 that had then remained continuously in production.

‘Again, as we know, the visual impression of the 911 is so supreme. I have always loved the aesthetics of artwork, and to me just the look alone of the 911 is like a subtly evolving piece of art.

‘Especially when it is deemed a 964.
