UK RHD '89 3.2 Speedsters

[P50]

I understand 64 RHD 1989 3.2 Speedsters were sold in the UK. I'm unsure how many RHD were actually built in total.

Does anyone know how to procure the specs of these cars or is it confidential? Reason being is I quite fancy one but not in red or white. They were a special wishes machine and I've seen some crazy specs in LHD.

i.e, flat nose, narrow body with spoiler, SE sills and wing vents etc. I understand all UK cars were wide body. A few years ago I kicked the tyres of a tatty RHD ex OZ car with a turbo rear spoiler. Was cheap but I passed.

I have found out only one blue machine was built so that's me a bit stoofed as I fancied a spot of baltic… Actually I wonder if a RHD was built in Cassis? it's a marmite colour but I love it. I think most destest it…

never seen a cassis one, but it'd look mega in my humble! have you gotten in touch with the porsche club gb? the guy who is the speedster registrar is a very active member, he produces reports most months, certainly in the summer anyway.

i'd start there, with so few of these about they generally know who's up for a sale or who could be tempted. the red one that's up for sale at the moment is lovely, i can only wish i could afford one!

there was a lovely turbo bodied supersport cab up for sale in the summer that looked stunning in every way. it had a flat engine lid so the factory put the speedster front end on it to balance it out. looked great & at less than half the price of a speedster you have to wonder what price you can put on a removeable wind shield!

great looking cars though, good luck with the search & keep us informed

If a factory supersport (but spoiler delete) came up I'd be very tempted.

I assume err, a non sport RHD supersport (?!) non red/white is rarer than a baltic speedster! I suppose you could call it a 911 Super! isn't that what 1300 Marina's were called?!

The red speedster at the hairpin co is nice but red...

again i'd point you in the direction of the pcgb registar, i guess red & white were the most popular colours back in 88, but i've seen a few black ones & they look mega.

the car without the rear spoiler was supposedly the only rhd car ordered as such, i think it was diamond blue if i remember correctly, a lovely colour. i think it had a blue interior with white seats, with the seat backs in blue extended leather. certainly a highly specced car.
