I attach a few Pics of my new car. Its an 89 Carrera 3.2 Targa SC, 3 owners, 37500 miles and totally original. I have all paperwork from day 1 including the original sales brochure and salesmans card, and the original car cover.
Hope you like it..I certainly do.

Graham, Very nice ride

 

Very sweet except the steering wheel is on the wrong side but that can be fixed.

 

Yes, you might want to get that steering wheel looked at. It seems to have shifted a bit to the right.

Graham, that is an excellent car. The interior is amazing.

 

Graham: That is a beautiful car! Is is actually still called an "SC" though. I always thought it was called a Targa 911 3.2, but not an "SC".

I'm not convinced that is correct John.
I am under the impression that since the car is newer than 1983 (hence the 3.2 motor instead of the 2.7 or even 3.0), it is actually a Carrera and not an "SC". Not to mention it has the Carrera badge on the rear deck as opposed to the 911SC logo found on ealier models.
Someone correct me if/when I am wrong (It will SURELY happen!)

BTW, EXCELLENT example of what condition a 'used' 911 should be in.
I have a few questions for those reading this thread.
What is the black 'dot' to the left of the rear plate?
Will the 'narrow' Euro bumper pads fit the US Carreras w/o significant modification, or would it be better/easier to simply get a Euro rear bumper?
If the new bumper route is best, didn't they come with crush tubes (not unlike a collapsable steering column) instead of the 5MPH shock absorbers found on the US cars?

nice colors, and no A/C to cause problems, sport seats, spoilers and rear wiper, very nice, what was the asking price if you dont mind?

 

The black dot is a cover that goes over where the rear tow eye screws into.

I'm pretty sure that SC's were made with a 3.0 liter engine from 1978 to 1983. In 1984 through 1989 the engines were bumped up to a 3.2 liter and the model name was changed to Carrera. The 915 tranny was installed in the Carrera through 1986 and in 1987 - 1989 the tranny changed to the G-50.

 

remember, other countries and regions have different slang and even model designations, so maybe thats what its called across the pond. You say tomato, I say tomato! Doesn't sound right on a key board huh?

 

I think that is correct...I've seen other UK-model 911s in the Carrera range with an "SC" suffix.

 

You say tomato, I say potato!


There are two ways to do this: one is which designation is or was commonly used by buyers. The other is which was used by PAG itself.

 

Interesting. According to BA's book, Porsche produced the same models for the US and the ROW (engines and exhaust systems were different, however the models were the same). There were a few special production runs of a couple cars, however they appeared to be very small in number and I suspect not many of them would be for sale. Example: In 1984 the first Carrera Model year, they produced a Type 954 911 SC RS for racing/rallying. I believe he states only 20 were produced. However, anything is possible, including putting an SC rear lid on a Carrera...

 

Niiiiiiiiiiice! Red and tan is unusual, Have not seen too many like that. Should be a Carrera and not an SC but who knows how the brits do things, hence the wrong placement of the wheel...he...he!
Good luck with it.

 

I think in the UK, they had "Sport Coupe" models that are a bit sportier than the typical Carrera (M030 suspension maybe). Anyways, you see that designation in the British car mags...

I love the brown interior - very nice!
