Description
Launched in 1975, the Porsche 911 Turbo (930) redefined the sports car landscape and became an instant icon of performance and design. Its distinctive flared arches, whale-tail spoiler, and race-bred 3. 3-litre turbocharged flat-six delivered both dramatic looks and electrifying pace. Renowned for its raw, engaging character and formidable power delivery, the 930 offered supercar performance with everyday usability. Today, it stands as one of the most desirable and collectible 911s, representing the purest expression of Porsche’s turbocharged legend.
1984 Porsche 911 Turbo (930)
• 56, 700 warranted miles from new
• Rare Paint-to-Sample (PTS) Rubinrot Metallic with bespoke interior
• Single ownership from 1988 to 2015
• Fully comprehensive overhaul
Here we have a very rare and beautifully presented example of the coveted Porsche 911 Turbo (930). Originally ordered to South African specification, the car was collected new from Stuttgart by its first owner before being brought to the United Kingdom, where it has remained ever since.
We have been familiar with this car since the late 1980s, when it was purchased by one of our long-standing suppliers in the motor trade. He would go on to own the car from 1988 through to 2015, maintaining it with great care throughout his stewardship. In 2015, the car was acquired by an engineer and founding proprietor of Southern Classics, a specialist renowned for award-winning Jaguar restorations and a respected associate of ours for many years.
Following his purchase, the new owner commissioned a comprehensive rebuild and restoration, documented by an extensive history file detailing substantial expenditure and meticulous attention to detail.
Works Carried Out (Summary)
• Full glass-out respray, alongside metalwork in original Rubinrot Metallic, with all rubbers replaced
