The authors have carried out a detailed study of the velocity structure of the southern planetary nebula NGC 3132 by obtaining [O III] λ5007 Å line profiles at 5 positions of the nebula using a Fabry-Perot spectrometer. The main results of the study are the following: (1) The observations are consistent with an ellipsoidal model with a velocity asymmetry. (2) The velocity structure favours a binary star hypothesis for the nucleus of the nebula. As a consequence, HD 87892 and the nebula could be physically associated.
