August Posted 2January, 2015 Report Share Posted 2January, 2015 Hello everyone, After being a lurker long enough to learn (the basics...) and buy my first Porsche thought it was time to say hello and join up properly. Said hello in the intro's thread but though I would start a topic so I can have a few questions answered hopefully Car is 1985 3.2 911 slate blue metallic with the last of the old gearboxes. Apparently the colour was special order as it stopped being offered in 1984?? Obviously I am biased but perfect spec for me in the colour with black leather, 16" Fuchs (7/8 wide), LSD and special order sports suspension (SOW050 some more detective work is required here) I bought it from the original owner so am the second owner. Previous owner flew to Stuttgart to spec it then waited months for it to be delivered here via dealer. Car has now done 105k's and will tick on for a few thousand a year. Condition of car is unbelievable apart from the tiniest of cosmetic dramas inside. Mechanically A1. I have the original receipts for the car and the "tourist delivery" paperwork and spec sheet. Previous owner was a photographer so have heaps of photos of the vehicle in the past decades including some from a photo shoot done in 1985. Have a few questions. Number one who has ever had a leather dash repaired? The only foible with the car is that the leather dash has shrunk a bit away from the window. Second question any one have links to any info regarding the SOW050 suspensions and handling package? Only found a few references on rennlist think it wasn't offered in Australia via dealers perhaps? Thanks to everyone for your knowledge and insite into the Porsche world. Few photos below. I work away from home so dad will make sure the battery stays charged and the fuel doesn't go stale.... Cheers, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 2January, 2015 Report Share Posted 2January, 2015 Nice one Jack! I really like that car, a lot. Looks like you landed a great car- especially being a 1 owner with history etc. Sorry I can answer your questions, sure someone will chime in and offer some information.

Definitely looking forward to coming down to brissy for a few runs. I am not your typical Porsche owner (bit young) so looking forward to getting involved. Will chase down Lee Bros and flick them a few hoots cheers Caledonian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Man Posted 2January, 2015 Report Share Posted 2January, 2015 Sweet ride Jack. Welcome to the forum and enjoy what seems to be an awesome car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted 2January, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 2January, 2015 This one came out of Sydney but was originally advertised for that so could be the one you are thinking off? Didn't pay that much though! By not typical I mean younger that what I would guess to be standard. See if I can hold on to it for 29 years like the previous owner.

hugh Posted 2January, 2015 Report Share Posted 2January, 2015 I too was unsure of what the 'typical Porsche owner' was.................this is all I could find; A) Some old car salesman Some guy that shares the same name (must have really liked them!) C) Some guy that looks like he's stolen a bunch of Porsche's D) And some guy who bought a car to match his belt buckle Not sure what one fits you (or I for that matter) best........................

f3nr15 Posted 15January, 2015 Report Share Posted 15January, 2015 Congratulations, a one-owner low-mileage Carrera is a rare and coveted bird in the Porsche world. The spec seems similar to another car that was listed in WA for $100K last year, with low mileage and original delivery receipts. Any interior pics?
