DESCRIPTION
The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine 'Supercar' that defined the Seventies and Eighties. It was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The bodywork received special treatment to produce one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail. The brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. The final evolution of the 930 Turbo saw the engine capacity increased to 3299cc, with improved upgrades on the intercooler and fitment of the G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp.
Offered here is a Porsche 911 Turbo finished in the great combination of Grand Prix white with immaculate cream interior, enhanced with the Porsche option steering wheel. The history file shows it is an original UK car first delivered to Northern Ireland. It then returned to the mainland in January 1990. There are sixteen service stamps in the book but more recently it has benefited by being in the ownership of Steve Andrews of Spa Engineering, Newmarket who are renowned Porsche specialists. The various invoices in the history file show that it has had a full engine and gearbox rebuild approximately ten thousand miles ago.(Present mileage 120,000 miles).
The overall appearance of the bodywork still remains in fine order and with the mechanical work recently carried out it now represents a great opportunity to own a still undervalued supercar of the day. The period complete look of the 1980's is easily restored by returning the wheels to standard finish. It comes to the sale with a spare key and full MOT. The registration number is to be advised following the removal of a private registration marque.
The registration number "VRB 911" is available by seperate negotiation.
