For Staffan Wittmark, ‘Guards Red’ is the colour which best sets off the Porsche 964, and was one of the launch colours. For this reason, he has two cars in this colour in his collection, including this Carrera 4 in superb condition which is among the first models of 964 with its characteristic mirrors and rims. In addition to its faultless body and lustrous paintwork (which has probably been resprayed), the car is very well equipped, with a sunroof, electric heated seats with electric lumbar support on the driver’s side, cruise control and air-conditioning (updated to use R134A gas). The rear bonnet struts will need to be replaced, but the front compartment is in superb original condition, complete with its tool kit. The interior is equally attractive, with sumptuous beige extended leather covering the seats, centre console and door panels, matching beige carpets and a Blaupunkt radio.
Sold new in Sweden in June 1989, the car has had only four owners from new and has always been maintained by Porsche, as can be seen from its stamped-up service book. It became part of the W Collection in 2017 and has since covered only 100km; today, the odometer shows 64,432km from new. It was recently serviced in 2020 by Porsche Haninge. In 2023, the SRO workshops in Le Castellet checked the sealing of the oil circuit and changed several hoses, as well as revised the ignition by replacing the complete wiring harness and changing an ignition head (a bill of €3,200).
This very attractive 964 will be supplied with its manuals, numerous bills and safety inspection reports, as well as both sets of keys. It represents a great opportunity to acquire a Carrera 4 with some excellent options and in unusually good condition with a low mileage.
