Introduction
Colin Bashford
With its large whale tail, the G series 911 boasts an iconic silhouette.
The 911 has been with us since 1964, and it hasn't strayed far from its roots, even with the latest 992.2 generation. The G series was introduced in 1973, with a production run of approximately 16 years. This marked the second generation of the 911. Some consider the G series 911 the pinnacle of the air-cooled era - the iconic whale tail adds to the theatre of the car.
This particular car is a 1984 3.2 Carrera, finished in Pewter. It comes to market after around 25 years with its current owner and was resprayed in 2016 in its original colour. The car is accompanied by a substantial collection of invoices and receipts, pen drives with photos from the respray, two sets of keys, and a current MOT valid until 11 August 2025.
This listing was written from information supplied by Colin after meeting Brendan the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Brendan, Disappointing the car wasn’t available to view in person this weekend – We know there was a full bare-metal respray in 2019, i can see photos of the car in pieces and some of the damage caused by the extensive rust, but can’t see the car being put back together – could we have a little more detail on this work? Where was done? What fabrication was carried out? Are there photos of the car prepped before paint?
Hello, the car was stripped down in 2016 all glass out down to bare metal and primed before painting. I have many photos on a stick, unfortunately I am out of the country at the moment, I will be back next week. The work was carried out by Performance Body of Chapelhall , however the owner is now deceased and the company has closed. there is a small tear in the roof lining.
Hi Brendan – has the vehicle been registered as a Historic Vehicle with the DVLA ?
Hi, I haven’t registered the car as historic vehicle as yet
Hi, can the questions be answered below, as it will help the sale of the car.
Many thanks
Hi Brendan. Thank you to you and the Trade Classics team for the enormous detail. A question please: I notice that from Sep-Nov 95 there were some very serious issues with both the gearbox failure and tappet-tightness resulting in a misfire and many months of back-and-forth with Meridien Majestic.
In the Trade Classics description of the mechanics, a reference to ‘pops at idle’ is noted.
Are these two issues related? i.e. are there still misfire issues with the car, throughout your ownership?
Thanks,
Daniel
Hello, the issues were prior to me owning the car and as far as I am aware were dealt with at the time. I have had the plugs changed and haven’t had any problems.
Hi Brendan, unfortunately I am unable to come and view your lovely 911, so I am going with my gut, can you tell me if there’s any fluid leak’s at all (oil, coolant) ? Also when the respray was done were the door handles left as patina due to being original paint on them, or were they repainted and it’s come off.
Many thanks
Hello, the handles were not resprayed so the original paint is still on them and is as seen
Hi, thanks for the reply on the door handles, can you answer my question about any fluid leaks-oil or coolant?
Many thanks
Hello, there are no fluid leaks and there are no coolant leaks, it is an air cooled engine.
Hi Brendan. I’ve put bid on your 911. I would like to view if possible please thanks Steve I’m based in Cumbria
Hi Billy,
We can help organise a viewing for you, if you could send an email to hello@tradeclassics.com, we just need to do a couple of checks first.
Thanks,
Colin.
