Introducing this 1987 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet G50, a matching-numbers example finished in its special-order factory color of Espresso Brown Metallic (40D) over a Mahogany interior. This rare and sophisticated color combination gives the car a classic, understated presence that stands apart from more common specifications, offering timeless appeal without trying too hard.
Owned long-term for 25 years, this Carrera reflects careful stewardship and consistent investment over time. Power comes from the legendary air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six paired with the highly desirable G50 5-speed manual transmission. As a historical note, 1987 marked the first year of the G50 gearbox, which introduced a hydraulic clutch - delivering smoother engagement and improved drivability compared to earlier 915 transmissions, making these later Carreras especially sought after by enthusiasts.
