The 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera of James May going up for sale
Has 88,513 km on the odo
A Porsche 911 Carrera from 1984 owned by former Top Gear
co-presenter James May will be going under the hammer during the Goodwood
Festival of Speed Sale.
May bought the vehicle in 2007 during recording of the Radio
4 documentary 'Speed, Greed and the M25'. It has appeared on screen too, notably in
the 'Airfix' episode of James May's 'Toy Stories' and in the Top-Gear online film 'James drives to work'.
This one has a 3.2-liter flat-six naturally aspirated
six-cylinder engine that generates 231 PS (170 kW). According to the seller – the Bonhams,
it has 88,513 km (55,000 miles) on the odometer and has been properly maintained.
In fact, Mays says the 911 has only been used as a “hobby”
car, in good weather. “It was donated to my dad to use for the past four years,
as he never owned a proper sports car. Recently he decided that he was getting
on a bit to be seen in a retro stockbroker's car, and my mother hated it,” he
also comments.
The sports vehicle is expected to fetch between 28,000 and 34,000 GBP (around 43,675 – 53,000 USD).
