The seller offers for sale this 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet, powered by a 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This example has recently received a complete engine rebuild, including a new timing chain, oil pump, a full set of crankshaft and connecting rod bearings with new rod bolts, a polished crankshaft, machined cylinder heads with new valve guides, an overhauled ignition system and all new seals. The work is documented with invoices. In addition, the car has been fitted with new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres on the original wheels, which were blasted and repainted, along with new brake discs and pads, a renewed oil cooler and oil lines, a new engine bay wiring loom, new filters and a new battery. The seller notes openly that, as a car of more than 35 years old, it shows traces of use: the paintwork is no longer perfect everywhere and the interior displays signs of wear here and there, so some cosmetic attention could be foreseen by the next owner. The car shows an indicated mileage of 243,000 km and comes with a valid inspection.

The 964 generation, introduced in 1989, marked the most significant technical evolution of the 911 up to that point, with Porsche claiming 85 percent new components compared to its predecessor. The Carrera 4 was the launch model, bringing four-wheel drive to the 911 range for the first time alongside coil-spring suspension, ABS and power steering, while preserving the classic air-cooled character and unmistakable silhouette. For many enthusiasts the 964 represents the last truly classic 911, combining traditional looks and the analogue driving experience with usable everyday engineering.

Open-top motoring with an air-cooled flat-six behind you remains one of the defining Porsche experiences, and the Carrera 4 Cabriolet offers it with the added security of four-wheel drive. With 964 values firmly established and technically sorted cars particularly in demand, this example, with its comprehensively rebuilt and documented engine, represents an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast who values mechanical substance and wants a 911 to drive and enjoy.
