Description: Franklin Mint 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa Black/Gold 1:24 Vintage 1992 Fantastically detailed 1:24 model in diecast metal of a 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa in black with gold wheel and badge accents. Most Franklin Mint Models are now over 30 years old - this one was made in 1992 - and most were over £100 new (£260 adjusted for inflation). This is in very good condition for a unboxed example. The only advisory is the missing Targa roof panel. Beautiful, incredibly detailed and heavy. Diecast model hand-assembled from over 130 separate components, hand-painted and hand-finished to showroom condition. Length: 17.5cm Width: 7.5cm Height: 5cm Weight: 405g Beautiful glossy black paint with gold-rimmed Fuchs alloy wheels and matching gold Carrera & Targa badges. Realistically glazed headlights, indicators and driving lamps with the iconic Porsche badge on the front bonnet. Matt, rubberised front spoiler, bumper buffers and inserts. Detailed windscreen wipers and body-coloured door mirrors with reflective surfaces, matt black door handles, sill inserts and lower rear arch protectors. Matt black targa hoop with gold stylised ‘targa’ badges. “Whale tail” rear spoiler with matt black spoiler lips and engine air intake. Opening engine cover with gold stylised “Carrera” badge. Detailed 3.2 litre flat 6 air-cooled engine. Red rear light and reflector strip with black PORSCHE logo. Matt black rubberised rear bumper overriders inserts and buffers. Opening driver and passenger doors with framed quarter lights and detailed door cards. Black interior with soft-touch seats, black carpet, pedal and gear lever detail. Functional 4-spoke steering wheel that turns the front wheels. Detailed dashboard dials. Rear-view mirror with reflective surface.

There is a detailed silver and aluminium floorpan, front suspension, steering, engine, transmission and exhaust system. The Franklin Mint tag is still attached with its gold rope. The 911 3.2 Carrera, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977, was the last iteration in the original 911 series. Three basic models were available – coupé, targa and cabriolet. The Carrera is almost indistinguishable from the SC with the external clue being the front fog lights that were integrated into the front valance. Only cosmetic changes were made during the production of the Carrera, with a redesigned dashboard featuring larger air conditioning vents appearing in 1986. In 1984, Porsche also introduced the M491 option. Officially called the Supersport in the UK, it was commonly known as the "Turbo-Look".[citation needed] It was a style that resembled the 930 Turbo with wide wheel arches and the distinctive "tea tray" tail. It featured the stiffer suspension shared with the Turbo and the superior Turbo braking system as well as the wider Turbo wheels. Sales of the Turbo-Look were high for its first two years in the United States because the desirable 930 was not available. 3,663 were sold until 1989. The Turbo-Look, received official title in the sales lists, as the 930 Chassis option starting in model year 1984. From model year 1985 the Turbo-Look option could be ordered on all three models; Coupé, Cabriolet and Targa produced together with the narrow body on the same production line. The Turbo-Look option package contained: Front fenders of 930 Turbo; which, were attached the same way as the Turbo, first by welding flares to the narrow fender, then from model year 1986 a new, widened fender as a one piece stamped steel part was developed. Side rear 930 widened fenders at the back; which, was attached the same way as the Turbo, first by welding flares to the narrow body, then from model year 1986 a new, widened quarter panel as one piece stamped steel part was manufactured. The 930 front apron with Black rubber elastic spoiler with integrated front driving lights. The 930 Turbo rear wing with the black rubber elastic lip of the Porsche 930 3.3 Intercooled model. 📦+📦+📦=🚛 Combined shipping is available for all items (even if you’re not in the UK).
