About this car

The 964 Carrera RS is the lightweight, road-going homologation special of its generation, with no power steering and a focus on driver feel. This left-hand-drive car was supplied new to Japan, shown by the C 008 country code on its under-bonnet sticker, and came to the UK in 2015.

The page describes it as unmodified, with original body panels and paintwork and all factory stickers in place. That is unusual for an RS, as many were modified and tracked before being returned to standard. It shows 68,000 miles and has a full service history from new.

After import, the previous owner had Precision Porsche in Sussex carry out a major service, with the engine removed for new tin ware, an engine bay detail and a new clutch. The underside was noted as original and sound. The same specialist has maintained it since, and a recent inspection and service is recorded. It comes with stamped service books, tools and a history file.

Porsche 911 buying guide

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1964 and has kept the same basic layout throughout: a flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, two seats up front and two small ones behind. The range runs from the everyday Carrera and Targa to the four-wheel-drive Turbo and the track-focused GT3 and GT3 RS. Buyers choose it because it works as a daily car, is well built and has a large network of independent specialists.
