As its service book shows, this car was delivered new on 19 November 1991 to an enthusiast from Steinhagen, near Bielefeld, in Germany. After a second German owner just 20 kilometres away, in Gütersloh, it was imported into Sweden in 2016 by Staffan Wittmark. The service book has stamps for the regular services carried out by specialists, with the last one, at Haninge in Sweden, in 2020. At the time, the car had 38,344 km on the odometer, which corresponds to its mileage today.
This type 964 360 Carrera RS (the ‘Touring’ version) was ordered in the attractive colour ‘Amethyst Metallic’ (code 38A), with a matching interior: it has leather-trimmed carbon-fibre bucket seats with cushions following the amethyst theme, which is also applied to the seat belts. A Blaupunkt Konstanz CD31 radio is fitted, and the interior is in excellent condition, with only slight wear to the driver’s seat on the side next to the door.
Externally, the body (which has undoubtedly been repainted) is in very good original condition, with excellent panel gaps. The front compartment appears to be completely original, with all its equipment (including the tool kit and first-aid kit), as well as the manufacturer’s sticker under the bonnet. The engine compartment is also in good condition and still has the manufacturer’s original stickers. The car will be supplied with a copy of the original German registration document and a wallet containing the service book, owner’s manual and a ‘Porsche Touring Pass’.
The RS weighed 160kg less than the Carrera 2, its 3.6-litre engine developed 260bhp and its production barely exceeded 2500 cars. It is a rare and sought-after high-performance model, especially in this car’s very desirable specification, with its original colour and low mileage.
Please note that contrary to what is written in the paper catalogue the correct engine’s number is *62N80617* and not *62N60617*.
