1988 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo

The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine 'Supercar' that defined the Seventies and Eighties and 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 program. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail and the brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car.

This 1988 930 Turbo is a very desirable UK model and is finished in Grand Prix White with a two-tone blue and white leather interior. It was supplied new on the 5th of February 1988 to its first and only registered keeper by Coopers of Exeter. The odometer is currently reading only 30,857 miles from new and this number is supported by past MoT certificates, along with a number of service stamps in the original handbook.

Stored in a temperature controlled environment and forming part of a large private collection, this Turbo has seen little use in recent years and remains in stunning condition, partly because in its early life it was particularly well cared for by its first owner. He was so fastidious, that even after a long day out at a local car show he would remove all the wheels after use in order to clean the wheel arches! We are told that the paintwork is original and it is still very bright and in keeping with such a low mileage example. Certainly, the inner wings and boot area look highly original with a light wax finish and similarly, the seats and interior are in superb condition and show very little signs of use on the driver's bolster and carpets.

The history file contains past bills and receipts detailing expenditure and general upkeep over the years, along with the aforementioned MoT certificates and the original bill of sale from Coopers of Exeter. The 930 Turbo was the car many of us dreamt of in our childhood but now suddenly they are back and a 'must-have' for a new generation of collectors. This superb two owner, Grand Prix White, Porsche 930 Turbo must be seen to be believed.
