SUMMARY
One of 130 UK right-hand drive examples of the final year of production 930 Turbo with the G50, 5-speed gearbox and less than 10,000 miles from new.
DESCRIPTION
First introduced in 1975, the 930 Turbo version of the amazing Porsche 911 evolved every few years to maintain its position as one of the fastest and most desirable sports cars of its time. By 1989, the final versions were offering 330bhp, which when coupled with the new G50 5-speed gearbox, propelled the car up to a top speed of 162mph and a 0-60 was covered in just 4.9 seconds. Porsche enthusiasts often consider the 930 of 1989 to be the ultimate incarnation, as it was the only year that this model was fitted with the 5-speed G50 gearbox which offered ratios better suited to the Turbo's power delivery, and 1989 was the last year of production of the iconic 930 Turbo which makes it just that bit special.
Offered here is one of those 130 final UK (C16), right-hand drive cars finished in its original factory Paint to Sample (PTS), Minerva Blue with a Colour to Sample White interior, almost certainly unique amongst those final G50 cars. Supplied new to its one and only owner by the Official Porsche Centre, Swinford Motors, on 1st August 1989, it has remained cossetted in his heated garage for nearly 35 years, covering only 9,955 miles in that time.
It was meticulously maintained by Porsche Centres until 2005, when the owner acquired a Ferrari 430 and the Porsche was carefully stored until now, but constantly maintained and used only sparingly on fine days.
This truly exceptional, UK-delivered C16 Porsche 911 Turbo comes complete with a comprehensive list of factory options, an 'as new' tool kit and is MOT’d until November 2024.
