This fantastic example of the iconic 930 Turbo was first registered on 5th May 1988, nearly 37 years prior to the date of the auction. Presented in its original colours of Grand Prix White over a navy blue/linen leather trim and carpets, this four speed manual turbo has a mere 50,548 on the clock and thus presents as one of the best preserved and desirable 911 Turbos money can buy. Our vendor has sadly decided to sell the car due to illness, having purchased the car in 2018 from its fifth owner who had stored the car in a dry garage for many years. For the current owner, as a retired race engineer, this was a retirement treat, a car that needed some mechanical recommissioning but that represented a very well kept, low mileage, time warp example. Upon purchase and whilst still working as a race engineer on classic F1 cars, the first port of call was to have the car worked through. Rather than do this personally, given the time and expertise needed, he decided to use the services of Peter Chambers Automotive Ltd, a Porsche specialist in Gloucestershire who the vendor knew. The detail of what followed can be found on the receipts in the history file (and online), it included a full engine and drivetrain rebuild so that this car would not skip a beat… the cost of such expertise was in excess of £38,000 and all completed in October of 2019. After a time running in the engine, our vendor has enjoyed using the car for navigation rallies and owners club meets with his partner and describes the car as an absolute joy, revelling in the turbo spool that such an 80's icon provides.

Sadly, of late our vendor has suffered ill health and with a heavy heart he has decided the car must find a new home. But true to our vendor's ways, he wanted to make sure that the car was in perfect working order for its new owner. Since he could no longer work on the car himself, he commissioned one of the country's leading Porsche specialists local to him, Precision Porsche Ltd, to carry out a 12,000-mile service, a few other minor maintenance jobs and to prepare a 38-page pre-purchase inspection report of the vehicle. The report can be found in the history file and online providing some of the very best confidence in such a collectable vehicle.

The car itself has been fully detailed and presents fantastically retaining its originality with very little paint having been put to the car over the years, it still wears the original trim, stereo, key and key pouch and the full book pack all available.

The 930 Turbo 'Widowmaker' has long been an iconic Porsche and low mileage examples are rare finds, a car with such incredible recent mechanical care is as rare as 'hens' teeth'. This car was not expected to see the open market for some time however circumstances have aligned to bring an opportunity to own one of the best privately owned and honest examples.
