[@Little_Britain74]

That isn't a 964 speedster - it's a G series 911 3.2 Series, which was the first speedster since 50's. It is a very rare car and well worthy of the attention your giving it.

[@brianh3987]

Finally! Someone who knows their Porsche stuff. Not a 930, not a 964. It an '89 Speedster built with steel 930 front and rear flares. Likely the tire mismatch was because that was the only size available at the time for the 245 16's because for years nobody was making them. Fix the Speedster!

[@CameronLuck-q5z]

Thank you for not calling it a 930 😂

[@Brozay401]

[@baitse7676]

1989 was still the G body for Speedster. The 964 Speedster was also one year only in 1994, and doesn't have the turbo flares. This car is most certainly a G body.

[@stspies]

100% agreed. It was available as standard and wide body. I think this is the smaller standard body

Is it even a 930 - or just a '911' - the 930 was the turbo variants, no?

[@lockingdiff]

@@mini4x The Speedster was a weird car. It was built in the old 911 factory that 930s were rolling out off, and used 930 body panels. But 964s were also out being built in another facility. And I think there's SOME 964 in these Speedsters too?

[@sparkys_garage]

@@lockingdiff 964 speedsters are 93-94 year cars. The 911 gbody speedster in this video depends where in the world you are if you call it gbody 911 or 930.

The 930’s were turbos only. It is likely a G body 911 speedster.

Good instincts from tavarish regarding the sticker on the bentley. The symbol is a "wolfsangel". Can't be certain of specific intent of course, the owner might have just had less good instincts about the cool metal-looking wolf shield sticker they were buying.

[@Rich.Aardvark]

The wolfsangel has been banned in Germany since the war because of association with said Muppets

[@Fortzon]

Yeah but why would American have a heraldic Wolf's hook/Wolfsangel? Also, the wolf is there so must likely this sticker is a reference to Nazi guerrilla resistance plan called Werwolf/Werewolf.

[@GerardBendotti]

Wikipedia says it might

[@stevecox5012]

It certainly has links to Nazi, Neo-nazi organisations in various countries and has general far right connections on both sides of the pond. Now, it might be because of a band as well, but who knows why the previous owner of the car chose to display it.

The Porsche was a G-Model Speedster (replica or otherwise), based on a regular Carrera 3.2. Not a 930 (which was the turbo), though it had the wider wheelarches, or a 993 (which was the last air-cooled 911).
