Anyone familiar with the history of the Porsche 911 knows that the 964 marks one of the most significant technical turning points in the long history of this iconic model. In 1990, the car offered for sale here rolled off the dealer’s lot brand-new—a Carrera 4 in the rare color combination of Lagoon Green Metallic on the exterior, paired with a cream-colored leather interior that has developed a beautiful, warm patina over the years. This particular color combination was by no means common even back then, making the vehicle a particularly appealing find for connoisseurs of the model series.
Technically, this Carrera 4 offers everything for which the 964 has gone down in history: the six-cylinder boxer engine, enlarged to 3.6 liters and producing around 250 PS, the all-wheel-drive system—revolutionary for the 911—which for the first time enabled reliable power delivery to both axles, as well as the then-brand-new coil-spring suspension technology, which finally broke the 911 away from its technical roots in the 1960s. The bumpers, which are flush with the body—a first for the 911—also underscore the transition to a new generation of vehicles, without sacrificing the car’s characteristic silhouette.
According to our records, this car has been consistently maintained by two previous owners since it was first delivered; the second owner owned the vehicle for nearly two decades and had it regularly serviced at a Porsche-specialized workshop. The service booklet shows a complete maintenance history, including a timing belt replacement, a clutch replacement, and a comprehensive suspension overhaul approximately 15,000 kilometers ago. The odometer reading stands at a manageable 118,000 kilometers, which is considered moderate for a vehicle of this age and underscores the careful use by the previous owners.
Visually, the car is in a condition that can be described as very well-maintained to exemplary. The paint has uniform depth and shows only the minimal signs of wear typical for a vehicle of this age—signs that are an integral part of a classic car’s authenticity and should by no means be considered flaws. The chrome trim is fully intact, and the original “Cup-design” wheels were recently professionally refinished. The interior features all original controls; the factory-installed radio is still in working order, although an additional, discreetly installed connection for modern audio sources has been added without compromising the vehicle’s appearance.
Mechanically, the engine is in a condition that suggests a careful break-in period and regular use typical of a collector’s car. The characteristic sound of the air-cooled six-cylinder engine—which is even more resonant and pronounced in this model than in its predecessors—can be experienced in all its glory during a test drive. Connoisseurs consider the Carrera 4’s handling to be exceptionally refined and well-suited for everyday use, making this car not only a collector’s item but also a vehicle that is perfectly suited for occasional longer drives.
The vehicle comes with a complete set of original paperwork, all service records, and a current inspection report. A vehicle of this caliber and in this condition rarely comes on the market, especially in this specific color combination, which is why enthusiasts of the 964 series should not miss the opportunity to view it.
