1988 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Convertible

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 3.0Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am program. 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 fitting of the G50 transmission. By 1989, the final year of production, the power had risen to 330bhp.

"911 NWL", a matching numbers example, left the factory in May 1987 as a left hand drive 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet and was registered in the UK 16/8/1988, since then it has been professionally converted to right hand drive. The vendor informs us that a Ruf 930 conversation was carried out on the car by Bob Watson Porsche and engine upgrade to 3.3 Turbo approximately 14 years ago for the previous owner.

Finished in it's original colour of Grand Prix White, Blue roof, with Marine Blue leather, it shows an incredible 29,882 miles on the odometer (MOT 357446172216 02/10/2012). Documented MOT certificates and original service stamps verify the mileage from new until 2001. However the V5C shows evidence that it became the property of a private collector in 2001 and it would appear that it was subject to little further use.

The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2012 and commissioned Bob Watson Porsche once again to carry out a detailed re-build and restoration of 911 NWL. No expense has been spared, as verified by the bills and receipts that total in excess of £22,000. Additionally a recent re-spray at over £4000 has completed the restoration.

Now ready for a new owner to enjoy this very well sorted and restored classic car.

In enhancement to the value the registration "911 NWL" remains with the vehicle.
