Description
This stunning 930 Turbo Cabriolet is a one-of-a-kind example and a truly exceptional car. It has been in my ownership for 7 years, and has been meticulously cared for and maintained over the years. I adore the car - although I now feel the time is right to sell.
What makes this car unique is that it was the first registered and owned by Porsche UK , having been used as the promotional vehicle for the launch of the 930 Turbo. First of around 50 RHD cabriolet models for the UK market.
It featured in the media, including on magazine covers - one of which is present and included with the car.
The car has a clean history and is in excellent and largely original condition - testament to the care it has received over the years . Though unrestored, it has received full engine and gearbox removal and a top-end rebuild.
Just 52, 743 miles from new - verifiable through a large and detailed history file.
Interior / Exterior
Presented in the original and iconic Grand Prix White. The paint is largely original, and had some minor paintwork carried out by Porsche in 1999.
The paintwork has also received a Gtechniq ceramic treatment by a local specialist with a 5 year warranty, through to June 2031.
There are no chips, scratches, dents or any other blemishes on the body or paintwork.
Original Fuchs alloy wheels which present very well. They are fitted with a set of Continental ContiSportContact tyres with lots of tread remaining.
Soft top and rear screen are also in very good condition.
Interior trimmed in blue leather with white piping.
The seats, carpets and doorcards have no damage or notable imperfections - just the minimal wear expected with the mileage.
Everything on the car works correctly, including the electrics and hood.
Mechanics
The car starts, runs and drives perfectly. It has been used often, though sparingly.
No strange noises, running issue, or leaks.
The car has been serviced every year, except for a period when in storage between 2015-2019. The car covered no mileage during this time.
Gearbox feel tight and changes gear well.
The engine is original to the car, though has been subject to a top end rebuild.
During the documented £15, 000 rebuild, the factory head studs were replaced with ARP high tensile ones - widely regarded as the premium aftermarket standard and far superior to the OEM units.
During my ownership, the car has been exclusively maintained for all servicing and maintenance needs by a very highly regarded air-cooled Porsche specialist.
Paperwork
A large and detailed history file is provided with the car, one that is around 4 inches thick.
Any maintenance/ repairs have been detailed meticulously.
Historic MOTs are present and shown in the photos to validate the low mileage.
Owner's manuals and maintenance booklet are included.
Original launch magazine with this car on the cover.
Original Bill of Sale.
Imperfections
There is some inner rubber seal deterioration on the o/ s door.
The brass is visible under the door strikers on both sides.
Small amount of paint has chipped from the lower part of the sill skirt (n/ s), in front of the rear wheel arch.
Minor mark on the driver's door edge.
