First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show, with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 "930" Turbo was a genuine Supercar which defined both the 1970s and 80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS which was increased to 3.0-litres (eventually 3.3-litres) and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The brakes were also derived directly from the 917. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear 'Tea-tray' spoiler.

In 1989, before production was discontinued, Porsche marked the occasion by creating a very special 'limited edition' 930 LE – the ultimate Turbo. Starting out as a standard 3.3-litre model, the cars were then sent to the 'Exclusive' team at Zuffenhausen who built each example by hand.

With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke no-cost options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top-tinted windscreen, a choice of colours for interior and exterior, rear-quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, electric sunroof, and gold "Turbo" lettering stitched behind the seat. Each car also featured a gold plaque on the centre console and a gold-coloured gear knob top as recognition of the LE"s place in Porsche 911 history.

We are very pleased to offer this UK-specification, right-hand drive Porsche 911 (930) Turbo LE, first registered on 8th September 1989, and supplied to its first owner through Monarch Porsche in Birmingham. This rare car is finished in the desirable combination of Grand Prix White with a Marine Blue leather interior piped in Red. The factory option sticker under the bonnet remains in place and shows the options codes; (139) Heated Seats, (220) Limited Slip Differential, (XA4) Front spoiler, (XB7) Rear Air-ducts, (XE7)Front Oil Cooler, (XH1) 3-Spoke Steering Wheel, (XK5) Leather Gear Lever, and ( XN7) Leather handbrake.

The original service book records 11 stamps from main dealers and marque specialists whilst the history file that accompanies the car contains many invoices and previous MoTs confirming the low indicated mileage of just 24,055.

Supplied with a Porsche COA, its tools and jack, a UK V5c, and its driver's manuals and service book, this rare Turbo LE was the culmination of the 930 Turbo's 14 years of production. and as a result is probably the best-developed iteration of this model, making it highly collectable today. This is one of the best Turbo LEs we"ve had the pleasure of offering, and we urge you to come and see the car in the metal.
