1993 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6

When Porsche first introduced their 964 Turbo in 1990, they had yet to develop a turbocharged version of the 3.6 litre M64 engine and were forced to build the early cars with the old, 3.3 litre 930 Turbo engine which produced a healthy 320bhp but suffered badly from turbo lag.

They finally released the infinitely improved 3.6 964 Turbo engine in Jan '93 with an increased output of 360 bhp but, more importantly, the new design had finally cured the turbo lag problem once and for all. They only produced 1500 versions of this revised model worldwide and only 31 examples were sold new in the UK.

This Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 was supplied new to the Pendragon Motor Group in Cardiff on the 1st of August 1993. The original service wallet, along with the under-bonnet sticker, confirm the car was sold new as a "C16" UK car and was finished in the special order colour of Amazon Green Pearl Effect. Additional factory options included: sports seats, top-tinted windscreen and a sun roof.

In right and left-hand drive form, these cars are now changing hands at well over £200,000 as the market finally recognises their performance, build quality and rarity. Supplied with its original service book, tools, jack and leather wallet, the service history substantiates a total mileage of 77,725, with stamps from both specialists and Porsche main agents.

In 2013, this 964 underwent an extensive re-commissioning with respected Porsche specialists Booklands of Kent. This included a full mechanical and aesthetic brief to get the car in the finest possible condition. A full breakdown of all the work completed can be found in the history file along with the relevant bills and receipts.
