HELP PLEASE BUYING 911 3.2 G50 WITH SUNROOF AND CLIMATE

[monty37]

Looking to buy a 1987 to 1989 3.2 G50 but I would like one with a sunroof and climate control would this be hard to find and would i have to pay more money than a standard car without both.

Not sure they had Climate in those days. The air on system was generally regarded as being useless, but it is possible to get it working properly.

The ventilation in these cars is dire, so working air con would be good. Sadly it’s a very rare option.

You should buy on condition and not get hung up on spec.

You could fit electric air conditioning....?

I've no connection to this company. I've followed them for a while in the hope that they'd finish developing their 964 system. No such luck so far.

Non sunroof 3.2's would be very rare unless a non UK supplied cars.
Air con pretty rare. You do loose some room in the passenger foot well.
Might not be a problem but worth checking out for your needs

They do exist. This is an F plate 1989 car. You can just see the controls for the a/c (but it's not climate as I recall) in the centre consol and also the edge of the sun roof.

Though it was a nice example, to be frank I was left somewhat underwhelmed and it didn’t seem anything like the car I had remembered from back the ‘80’s. I moved it on quite quickly and don’t miss it.

I really like the G50 3.2s. Had three, all near new, low mls.
Virtually all U.K. cars will have sunroofs, except the ‘Club Sports’.
The Aircon is rare and probably more hassle than benefit. The majority of the time, the sunroof does quite a good job.
It’s also possible to drive with the driver or passenger window down, because the fixed quarter light stops buffeting and excessive wind ingress, but helps keep the cabin comfortable. Actually works very well.
Also make sure the heater flaps are fully closed - I’ve known some that allow warm air to get in during the summer, which isn’t much fun.

I don't know if this is PC, but I have a 1989(G) 3.2 Carrera Sport with Aircon and Sunroof amongst other nice options like LSD and sports seats, which will be on the market in about a month. email me via my profile if you would like more details.

They absolutely did.
This one is for sale here in the Netherlands at the Porsche Centrum Eindhoven.

Hi Halfpenny43

Thank you for the photo showing climate, have you got the link to this car please.

It's hard enough finding a good 3.2 Carrera coupe, especially G50.

Most have sunroof so you're for that.

As others have said but on condition, rust is the big issue to avoid.

You can then retro fit a newer air-con system.

Mine has Climate Control then!

[KIPSTER]

Mine is a 1988 G50 with sunroof and electric aircon which works a treat in summer!
However, the car has been backdated by 911 Retroworks near Leeds with full new interior, said aircon, long bonnet and much more...…..so maybe not what you are looking for?
