1980 Porsche 911(930) Turbo

This car is an early example of the revised 3.3-litre 911 Turbo that was first introduced late in 1978. The factory revisions included an engine increase from 3-litre to 3.3, as well as a larger turbo and integrated intercooler which was now incorporated in the infamous "Tea-Tray" rear spoiler. Further improvements were made to both the suspension and brakes to cope with the 300bhp that was now standard. It was the fastest production sports car of its day.

On offer here is a UK supplied C16, right-hand drive, 1980 930 Turbo, delivered when new by Lancaster Garages of Colchester, Essex to a Mr. M.J. Coburn. Today it has covered just 71,000 miles with a comprehensive owner's file detailing the car's service records. It benefits from a significant history file which confirms that this car has been featured in a Porsche magazine review and road test of the model, as well as many bills and receipts throughout the car's life from both main dealers and known specialists totaling £43,635!

After several years in long-term professional storage, the car has recently been recommissioned and repainted (£11,760) and now positively gleams. It will come to the Sale following a full service during its last MOT, which included new spark plugs, air filter, and oil filter as well as four-wheel alignment and new pads front and rear. A really nice example of a very original and unmolested 930 Turbo that presents and drives equally well.
