Key Points: 4,407 Miles From New, 'Turbo Look' Body Style, 'Tea Tray' Rear Spoiler.

The Porsche 911 3.2 Speedster was launched for the 1989 model year. Inspired by the 356 Speedster of the 1950s, it was designed to be a simpler, lighter, and less expensive open-top model, with key features including a raked windshield measuring three-inches shorter than the Carrera’s, a two-seat cabin and a removable roof that can be stowed neatly under the double-bubble rear tonneau cover. It had an aggressive look, having borrowed its front fenders, quarter-panels and alloy wheels from the 930 Turbo. 

The car was available in either narrow or Turbo-look widebody specification, with the latter outselling the former by a huge margin. Only 2,104 Speedsters were sold, 171 of which were narrow bodies, and the rest were Turbo-look widebodies. The Turbo-look package also included 911 Turbo axle brackets and stabilisers, wider 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels and power-assisted, ventilated, and cross-drilled disc brakes with alloy callipers.

The Speedster was equipped with a 3.2-litre air-cooled flat-six, producing 231hp and 195 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed Getrag G50 transaxle. 

The 911 Speedster weighed around 150 lb less than the cabriolet due to the removal of the roof frame and the deletion of air conditioning, electric windows and power steering. This focus on weight-saving translates to a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds, and a top speed of 152mph.

One of just 139 right-hand-drive examples, this particular car was originally supplied by Hamilton’s Porsche in Melbourne on 17 August 1989 to Lindsay Fox of the famous 'Fox Classic Car Collection'. It was sold from the collection in 2005, before being exported to the UK in 2015. 

At that point, the service book showed four stamps from Australia, and it has since benefited from three services in the UK, one with Porsche Centre Hatfield in 2015 at 5,932 km, one with Porsche Centre Swindon in 2017 at 6,233 km, and the most recent by the air-cooled Porsche specialist Hexagon Classics in 2019 at 6,704 km. It is now offered with 7,093 km on the odometer, and will be accompanied by its original owner’s manuals, service book and Porsche Certificate of Authenticity.
