For the 1989 model year, the S2 variant of the Porsche 944 was much-upgraded and replaced both the standard and ‘S’ spec 944s. A new aluminium cylinder block employing Formula One technology allowed a capacity increase to 3.0-litres, making it the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time. Power was up 21bhp on the 944 S, and torque was also considerably increased. Externally, the S2 adopted the lower-drag nose and tail panels from the Turbo, which along with a taller final drive ratio, helped a manual gearbox car hit almost 150mph and achieve a 0-60mph time of 6.0 seconds. The Turbo’s braking system was also adopted and ‘Series 90’ 16-inch cast alloy wheels were standard equipment. Production of the S2, and in fact the 944 as a mainstream model, ended in 1991, giving way to the 968. The car presented here is a last-year-of-production example, and is a right-hand drive C16 (UK-supplied) 1991 S2 944 Coupé. The car has covered a conservative 63,000 miles in the hands of just two previous owners. It was delivered new through ‘Five Oaks Garage’ in Jersey on 13th May 1992 but has resided for the last few years in Guernsey, with occasional trips across the water for servicing at Porsche specialists ‘Marque 21’ of Bridport in Dorset. Indeed, the car has an extensive service history and we are assured that it drives and performs very well. The car looks particularly striking in the rare combination of Glacier Blue Metallic (LY5U) and a blue leather interior. The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the ‘911 explosion’ and front-engined Porsches are having the renaissance they richly deserve. This great example, whilst being competitively guided (and with taxes paid), opens the door into a very exclusive club.

When Porsche introduced the 996 in 1998, it heralded a big departure from the timeless 911 concept, for not only was it radically different to its predecessor, but for the first time a Porsche 911 was water-cooled. The changes were driven by the market that had become more demanding in terms of refinement and power, and those same principles apply some 20 years later. The 996’s body styling was totally new and the interior was redesigned to give the venerable 911 a new lease of life. As is the way of things, in 2002 the facelifted model arrived incorporating headlight and bumper changes and an improved aero package, and these subtle changes further enhanced what has been described as the “First truly modern 911 with grand tourer and supercar performance”.

high level as his intention was to use it for extended continental trips and reliability was paramount. In addition to routine servicing, both mufflers have been replaced, as have the headlight units, discs, pads and all four shock absorbers. New air conditioning radiators have been fitted with the appropriate pipework and unions. This smart Porsche sits well on its four new tyres and is the proud possessor of a shiny new MOT test certificate. The overall condition of this 996 Carrera 2 is really quite special and it may well be the best available in the marketplace today at this guide price.
Offered here is a stunning 2003, right-hand drive, 3.6-litre Porsche 996 Carrera 2 Coupé with Tiptronic transmission and an exceptional service record. Originally supplied by Porsche Sutton Coldfield, it’s finished in Silver with a wonderfully distinctive interior in Wimbledon Green optioned with matching Alcantara headlining and a top tinted screen. The service book contains seventeen stamps recording and corroborating the low indicated mileage of only 70,000.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the ‘Carrera’ name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, producing a torque-rich 231bhp – enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting. This lovely, right-hand drive, 1988 Carrera is finished in a most desirable colour combination, gleaming Black complemented by a full Black Leather interior with red piping, and is a factory ‘Sport’ model with Fuchs alloy wheels, sport seats, rear seatbelts, rear wiper, spoilers, Bilstein sport shock-absorbers, sunroof, and a carpeted luggage compartment.

It was purchased in the UK by its current owner in 2012, who exported the car to Cyprus where it was well-maintained by a local Porsche specialist for the next four years. It was subsequently shipped to the Netherlands when the current owner moved back to his home country. We understand that approximately ten years ago, the car was stripped to bare metal and painted in its original black colour scheme, however, it remains in largely original condition with the only changes being the addition of wheel spacers and a non-original radio. The accompanying MOT test certificates, service booklet stamps, and a large folder of bills detailing expenditures from both Porsche main dealers and specialist companies substantiate the indicated mileage of just over 114,000 from new. It has been well-maintained, is in good condition both mechanically and cosmetically, and has never required any major work due to its regular servicing, ‘relatively’ low mileage and garage storage. There surely is no better entry into 911 ownership than the 3.2 Carrera. It’s the final evolution of the original, tracing its roots right back to 1966. The 964 that replaced it was substantially different and much more complex, so if you are in the market for the classic Porsche experience, this 3.2 Carrera Sport, at this guide, seems a perfect fit.

The S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the 944 Turbo model and this was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the bumper and bonnet profiles would merge smoothly, a design feature that was to be widely adopted on production cars from the early nineties. The 944 S2 went out of production in 1991 and this example was one of the last to be delivered to the UK and was sold through Rivervale Porsche Centre in Sussex on the 14th November 1990 to its first registered keeper, Mr. Adam Worsfold. Mr. Worsfold had, together with his business partner Tony Brady, established the highly successful hi-fi and amplifier business ‘ONIX’, which enjoyed massive growth during the 1980s. As befitting a young entrepreneur enjoying the trappings of the boom in home music centres a white Porsche was on the cards, and the

In 1989, the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0-litre version of the 944 S engine, which was the largest four-cylinder engine in production at the time. The 944 S2 also benefited from a revised transmission and the gearing was tweaked to better suit the torque and peak power characteristics of the 3.0 L M44/41 powerplant.

number plate H80 NYX was an overt nod to his success. In 1991 he undertook a tour of Europe in the 944 finishing in Malta and, having parked the car near to a restaurant, it was to Mr. Worsfold’s utter dismay that he returned to find an empty space. It must be stated at this juncture that HPI records are clear of any insurance claims or stolen-recovered warnings. In 2002, Mr. Worsfold returned to Malta and, as luck would have it, spotted the Porsche in a car park, however, it was never going to be a simple process and it took another eleven years whilst the car languished in a police compound until repatriation took place in 2013. Arriving back to the UK in a largely blemish-free condition, Mr. Worsfold spent some £16,000 on recommissioning works carried out by Porsche Centre Bournemouth and other specialists in 2016. The car is presented to auction with an MOT test certificate valid until December 2017 and an odometer reading of a shade under 21,500 miles (Malta is only 17 miles long). With an incredible story that deserves to be told at future car shows, and its one keeper status, this 944 offers the enthusiast an unmissable opportunity.

The paint code L999 is commonly known as a specialorder paint code, however, basically it’s just a different shade of Silver with a contrasting navy blue pin-striped interior. The Carrera was subsequently bought by its long-term owner, our vendor, on 23rd August 2002 from Hendon Way Motors. Our vendor has clearly cossetted this car during his fifteen-year tenure and it’s only offered to auction due to the imminent arrival of a 1968 Corvette without enough space to store them both.

Cosmetically, the 944’s bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward. A ‘turbo’ version of the 944 was always on the cards, and for the 1985 model year, Porsche introduced the 944 Turbo, known internally as the 951. Forced induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, up to 217bhp, with the clutch and gearbox uprated to suit. The Turbo also featured several other changes, such as improved aerodynamics, notably an integrated front bumper, standard external oil coolers for both the engine and transmission, standard 16-inch wheels (optional forged Fuchs alloys), and a slightly stiffer suspension setup. The Turbo’s front and rear brakes were borrowed from the Porsche 911, with Brembo 4-piston fixed calipers and 12-inch discs and ABS was also standard.

Following the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre inline-four for their new 944, which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth-running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. The result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbinesmooth as a six.

The car presented here is a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupé, and is a C16 (UK-supplied) right-hand drive example. Finished in the classic Porsche colour combination of Guards Red with a Black leather interior, this car has been very well cared for and has been the recipient of much expenditure over the last four years, with many parts having been either replaced or fully reconditioned. The result of all this work means this enthusiast-owned car has won two Concours d’Elegance trophies for ‘Best Sports Car’ in 2015 and 2nd place at a Porsche Owners’ Club competition in August 2017. This show-winning standard really belies the indicated mileage of 110,000, aided further by the reassuring presence of a fully stamped-up service booklet, a large file of invoices, and its original jack and tool-roll – small but important details that point to dutiful ownership. This is a simply lovely example of one of the most sought-after Porsches from the 1990s. The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the ‘911 explosion’ and frontengined Porsches are having the renaissance they richly deserve.

Following spells at the Austro-Daimler, Mercedes-Benz, and Steyr companies, all of which benefited greatly from his monumental engineering prowess, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche set up his own design consultancy in Stuttgart on 25th April 1931. Dr. Ing. F. Porsche’s most celebrated product of the 1930s was, of course, Hitler’s ‘People’s Car’ – the Volkswagen – but the company was also active in other fields, literally so in the case of its tractor project. Several prototypes were constructed prior to WW2, the earliest of which were powered by petrol engines, before Dr. Porsche turned to diesel power, eventually developing a series of one, two, three and fourcylinder air-cooled engines ranging in output from 14 to 55bhp. As with all things from Dr. Porsche’s fertile imagination, the tractors owed little to convention and much to creativity, efficiency and imagination. An unusual feature of Porsche’s drive system was its hydraulic coupling between the engine and the gearbox, which permitted smooth, clutchless gear changes, reducing wear on the transmission components and was simple to use and maintain by unsophisticated farmers.
AG diversified into tractor manufacture by acquiring the rights to Porsche’s engine and Allgaier’s tractor design, setting up PorscheDiesel Motorenbau GmbH.
After the end of the war, Porsche was barred from producing its own tractors and only companies that had been making tractors prior to and during the war were permitted to carry on, forcing Porsche to license its designs to other manufacturers. Agreements were concluded with two companies, Allgaier GmbH in Germany and Hofherr Schrantz in Austria, and then in 1954 Mannesmann

Offered here is a fully restored Porsche ‘Standard J’ tractor produced in 1962 and now superbly finished in Red and Cream. Its first owner was Ludwig Obermann and the original German log book shows him as the first registered keeper from 26/10/1962 until, many years later, ownership was transferred to his son Johann in May 1978. The tractor’s current owner acquired it in Germany in 1988 and imported it into England. Unusually, it’s accompanied by its original German documentation together with period colour brochures. The inventory also includes spares and ancillaries, a pasture topper, a parts book, and the relevant handbooks. It has recently been serviced, and a new battery fitted, so it now starts on the button with that characteristic three-cylinder soundtrack. This rare, post-war, German tractor is eminently suitable for working a small holding or market garden, however, we suspect it is more likely to occupy a corner of an eclectic Porsche collection.
This is a wonderful piece of Porsche history, and extremely desirable.

Supplied new by Ian Anthony Porsche of Wilmslow, Cheshire in August 1988 to a Mr. John Holmes, this is a very rare, UK-supplied, 911 (930) Turbo that has been exceptionally well-maintained and covered just 24,000 miles from new. Finished in Marine Blue Metallic with Linen leather seats, the factory options when new included recoil bumpers, tonneau cover in blue, heated driver and passenger seats, heavy-duty battery, Limited Slip Diff, Blaupunkt stereo, power hood, amplifier system, top tint windscreen, luggage compartment trimmed in black velour, and soft-look leather seats. Having formed part of a significant private collection, this car has an outstanding service history, all with main dealers and noted specialists, including all prior MOT test certificates that confirm the mileage as genuine and therefore warranted. It was acquired by our vendor from noted Porsche specialists Hexagon Modern Classics in July 2015 for a sum close to £100k and has been well-maintained but rarely used ever since. Since then, it has been properly stored in a purpose-built heated facility. This UK Turbo Cab is a rare opportunity to own an iconic car of the era that is fully ‘on the button’ and ready to go and with such limited numbers built, it also represents an excellent investment opportunity. Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the car is fully matching numbers and totally original throughout and also benefits from a ‘930’ private registration number, which is included in the hammer price.

Porsche’s intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that goal, but it wasn’t for a lack of performance or technological wizardry. An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers – pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy but dull family hatchbacks. Critics immediately recognised the advances that the 928 had made over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution, and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. As time went on, the 928 grew ever more powerful and the S4 version that came out in 1987 had a much developed 5-litre V8 that produced 316bhp. There were a number of changes including different pistons, cylinder heads, camshafts, and larger intake valves, compared to earlier 5.0-litre engines. The LH-Jetronic injection was updated, the ignition changed to the EZK system and automatics were fitted with a larger torque converter. The styling was also subtly updated with smoother nose and tail treatments that gave the car an even cleaner, sleeker look. 0-60 was now in the 5.6 seconds bracket and the top speed was raised to 168mph.

As a true GT car, the automatic gearbox – as seen in this delightful right-hand drive example – offered seamless changes perfectly complementing the long-legged 5.0-litre V8. Delivered new, we believe, to Hong Kong in 1991 in Amethyst Purple Metallic with a matching, and oh-so period, interior, this 1991 S4 was first registered in the UK on the 9th June 2003. There are invoices on file detailing quite a lot of work and attention at K2 Race Engineering and Graham Hill Motor Technicians, amongst others, and the Porsche has recently been fully serviced. The car is presented to auction in very good order with some 67,000 kilometres (42,000 miles) indicated, an MOT test certificate valid until January 2018, and the perfectly apt private registration A328 GEM. This 928’s distinctive colour scheme and dramatic interior made it the ideal candidate for ‘Modern Classics’ magazine, and this car looks great in a recent double-page feature about the classic 928. These 928s really are quite amazing machines and look like no other car before or since with inspired styling that will never go out of date. Considering that it was Porsche’s flagship model for almost two decades, with all the engineering integrity and supercar performance that this implies, it is really surprising that you can still pick them up for such modest sums today. Compared to air-cooled 911s they offer astonishing value for money, a situation that will not last much longer as prices have already begun to rise sharply. Another one to buy now before everyone else comes to the same conclusion. *The lead photograph is a library image.

Introduced in 1988, the 944 Turbo was the fastest production four-cylinder car in the world at the time. By 1989, the ‘S’ designation was dropped and for the last few years of production, all the previous ‘S’ enhancements became standard – including 7-inch and 9-inch wheels with 225/50 and 245/45 tyres, a high friction disc-type clutch, an external oil cooler, and a limited slip diff with 40% lockup. The engine now produced 250bhp resulting in 0-60mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 162mph. This 944 Turbo Cabriolet was supplied new in June 1992 and is one of the last 944 Turbos made. JCT 600 Leeds was the supplying dealer and Glenlyon Development Services of Keighley, the original owner. The second owner is our vendor – a private collector with the most amazing personal collection of classic cars featuring many different periods and marques. The history file contains many previous invoices and MOT test certificates, which confirm the car’s upkeep and low mileage of just 29,600. Most of the car’s miles were done early in its life, with just 3,000 miles covered since 2011. Today it is presented in exceptional condition and represents a modern classic that is both highly usable and very collectable. The electric hood works perfectly and the tonneau cover is as good as new. Well finished in the original Guards Red with a traditional black interior, we understand the car drives as well as it looks. Great looks, full matching numbers and, for those of us that prefer our classics with a few mod cons like ABS and air conditioning, ready to use and enjoy.

As the 911 legend has grown, so a desire for the pure, original, short-wheelbase version of Porsche’s concept has increased with it. For simplicity of styling and collector’s interest, it is these ‘A-series’ 911s, before the wheelbase was extended in August 1968, which still have an unrivaled appeal. The flat-six engine is only a 2.0-litre, but it’s a highly tuned one wearing overhead cams and two triple-choke carbs, runs sweetly, and suits the handing perfectly. This Solid Tangerine, left-hand drive, matching numbers example was manufactured in 1968 for the US market and was, therefore, one of the last cars built on the original wheelbase before the LWB ‘B-series’ cars were introduced later that year. ‘118-3-0137’ was supplied new on the 9th February 1968 to Colonel Rob Rodden of Carmel, Monterey. He owned the car for some 35 years and clearly applied military standards of discipline when it came to maintaining his beloved Porsche. Indeed, the very impressive service history accompanying the car shows a considerable number of service entries under his ownership. When the Colonel sadly passed away his son, Rob Jnr., felt it appropriate to part with the Porsche and there is a letter in the history file attesting to this. A later owner sympathetically restored the 911 in 2005 and the Porsche subsequently arrived in the UK in 2010 when a Mr. Sillitoe became its latest owner. There is documentation in the history file

Early 911s possess a certain purity of line that is a complete world away from the aerodynamic extravagances of the eighties and nineties, and in terms of style, it’s these cars that engender the most appreciative glances. A well set-up and maintained early 911, driven with an intelligent right foot, will provide some of the most quintessentially rewarding driving experiences you have ever had, and even the 2.0-litre car for sale here will leave you with a serious grin.

The 993 was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. Importantly, this new style was still every inch a 911 in the traditional manner, with the profiles of the doors and rear quarter windows remaining unchanged from earlier models. The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, giving greater driver confidence, less road noise, and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the ‘Weissach effect’), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking, and acceleration, it transformed the 911. It was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system.

It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty years on, it still looks modern – a truly timeless design.

When it comes to the 911, ask any ‘Porschephile’ for their opinion as to which was the greatest racing 911 ever built and quickly you will become used to hearing the acronym ‘RSR’. Introduced in 1973 by the factory as an evolution of the already potent 2.7 RS, it was both an official ‘works’ team car built to contest International World Championship ‘Group’ 4 GT endurance events and was also available for privateer race teams in full competition trim. The ‘RS’ itself was a hugely successful development of the standard 2.4-litre flat-six. The engine was bored out to 2.7 and carefully massaged to produce 210 horsepower, which was fed through a five-speed gearbox with uprated 4th and 5th cogs, all contributing to a top speed of over 150mph. Revised and stiffened suspension and larger four-wheel disc brakes complemented the increased power and ensured the RS remained perfectly balanced. An initial order of 500 RS models was produced to meet FIA ‘Homologation Requirements’ but the cars were so popular that production eventually totaled some 1,580 units. The most hardcore, no-nonsense, version of these race-focused 911s was the RSR. These Rennsport specials, with their dramatic, pumped-out wheel arches, intensified the standard 2.7 RS flavour in every way. Even wider, lighter, faster, and more capable in every performance category, the RSR was the RS unrestricted, dialed in for maximum capability with scant regard for creature comforts. The formula was successful – the 2.8 RSR is still recognised today as one of Porsche’s most successful race cars. Sadly, however, if the RSR was in the ‘Periodic Table of Elements, it would be ‘Unobtanium’ as just 49 were built resulting in them rarely coming to market, and when they do, the numbers are not for the faint-hearted. Consequently, anyone wishing to experience the addictive blend of handling, balance, performance, feel and simple purity that is the RSR, has no choice but to create their own. We are pleased to offer for sale an original 1973 left-hand drive, 911T brilliantly modified to 2.8 RSR specification and homologated as an FIA Historic Race Car with a current FIA Technical Passport (Competition GT; Class GTS27). Unusually, for a conversion of this nature, the car is UK-registered with an MOT test certificate and historic vehicle tax status and is ready for immediate use on the road or circuit. Chassis Number 9113 10 0481 was originally delivered to the USA in March 1973, however much of its early history is unknown. In 1991, it was registered as belonging to Patricia J Vanleen of Baton Rouge, Los Angeles and in October 2009 was returned to Germany in the care of the S & N Automobilzentrum Aachen Gmbh. Since July 2010, the car has been the pride and joy of its current owner, our vendor.

On its arrival in Germany, the decision was taken to create an accurate RSR replica using the 911T as a basis and this work was entrusted to ‘Scuderia-Eleven de’ with the engine left in the capable hands of Bienert Boxer-Motoren, who have over 25 years’ experience in preparing air-cooled Porche engines. The specification is too long to detail here but briefly: Original engine type 911/51 (2.4-litre, 140bhp) replaced with 1974/75, 911/41 engine modified to 2.8-litre, compression ratio 10.8:1 producing 265bhp with mechanical fuel injection, and twin ignition. Five-speed, ‘short-shift’ 915 gearbox and a ZF LSD. Front strut brace, adjustable front shocks, adjustable front and rear antiroll bars, front and rear polyurethane axle bushes, thicker torsion bars, and steel braided brake lines. Front tyres: 215/55 R1, rear tyres 270/45 R15. Wheels front: 9Jx15 and rear 11Jx15. The bumpers, front and rear bonnets and the wings were replaced with composite parts. ‘Makrolon’ polycarbonate side and rear windows. Welded in multipoint roll cage. Sports steering wheel, sports seats with full harnesses and aluminium footplates. The final setup was completed by Kadach.com for Harry Utesche at DLS Automobile in Stuttgart. Our vendor, a well-known racing driver who has raced RSRs in the past, admits “There is no excuse or way to avoid the fact that I fell completely in love with this car some time before it came to market. For me, it was the perfect looking, quintessential 911.” Having owned the car for the last seven years he confirms, “It is THE most tactile, malleable and sweet performer on the circuit with very much the right amount of power matching the grip available with a performance not so far from the delightful racetrack-only Chevron B8s etc. Around Spa & Monza, it was just pure racing delight.” The new owner of this wonderful 911 has a number of options. It’s a legal and perfectly usable road car, although, with a full competition suspension setup, it wouldn’t be long before you became good friends with your chiropractor, it could be developed into a pure, noholds-barred, full house racer, or left as it is, an ‘on-the-button’ entry for some of Europe’s most prestigious events including Tour Auto, Spa Classic, and the Monza Historic. Finished in sparkling Grand Prix White, this immaculate Porsche is accompanied by its UK V5C, MOT test certificate, DMSB Historic Technical Passport, and an inspection report from Gunther Frey. Dipl.Ing (FH). It would cost over £200,000 to prepare a car to this specification today and, at this guide, we feel that this stunning road/race 911 represents tremendous value for money and would welcome any inspection.

Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for 29 years. Ferdinand Porsche had been quietly working on a design since the late fifties, knowing that demand for his ever-popular 356 would eventually wane, and he would need a replacement that was fit for the changing needs of the mid-sixties. Eventually, the new car took shape on his drawing board and the 901 (later 911) was born and this design still, to this day, underpins the production of Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Before long, the merits of using the Porsche 911 in competitive motorsport became apparent and history records it as one of the most successful campaigners of all time. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans to grass-roots motorsport, the 911 offered reliable performance in many guises. For 1970, the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger cylinder bore giving a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a ‘T’ at this power output. Alterations to suspension pickup points improved the handling and gave a little more steering feel. Six-inch Fuchs ‘five-leaf’ forged alloys were now a standard fit. This early 911 was imported into the UK from California in 2003 by its current owner, with the intention of keeping it as original as possible with sensible upgrades to enable it to be used for classic rally events. It was fitted with towing eyes, bonnet straps, a fire extinguisher, Hella spotlights, and door roundels, etc. although in

the event, the car was never used in rallies as other plans intervened. It was used for touring, however, and our enthusiast vendor has “fond memories of touring the Black Forest in Germany where it never missed a beat and courted attention wherever it went.” During his tenure, the 911 received regular attention including a new steering lock, new high torque starter motor, new light assemblies, Continental Premium tyres, new indicator stalk, and relay etc.A replacement Bosch distributor with new cap, rotor arm, leads, and coil was fitted at a cost of £500, and the car benefitted from an upgraded timing chain tensioner kit including new camshaft seals at a cost exceeding £1,000. The suspension was stripped and new shocks fitted, also costing around £1,000. Provided with the Porsche are confirmation that all customs duties have been paid, the V948 Number Plate Authorisation Certificate, the V5C in the current owner’s name, invoices relating to most of the above work, and the MOT test certificate expiring in September 2018. Historic road tax expires at the end of August 2018. According to our vendor, he is “Only selling as the car as it’s not being used nearly enough and deserves a new owner to enjoy.” Early 911s are becoming increasingly topical and this smart and sensiblyguided 911T deserves a look.

Production of the successor to the Porsche 356 began in 1964. It had appeared at the 1963 Frankfurt Show under the ‘901’ banner, however, Peugeot claimed that they had a legal right to this number sequence so the 911 was born. Then, almost immediately, the extraordinary process of Porsche evolution began. One of the first upgrades came in 1966 with the introduction of the 911S, which featured a better-equipped interior and a revised engine producing 160bhp. But, by this time, approximately half of all 911s produced were exported to the USA, where the increasingly stringent emission regulations demanded changes had to be made to the original design and another significant safety change was the introduction of dual circuit brakes. However, it took Porsche time to meet these emissions targets and an interim model, the 911L, was introduced. The 911L was only built and sold in 1968 and around 450 left the factory. It featured the 911S’s superior equipment level but retained the torquey 130bhp engine running on Weber carburetors.

UK and first registered with the DVLA on 27/06/91 obtaining a UK V5C, however, an invoice from late May of that year indicates that the car’s first stop after its long journey was at marque specialists Parr Garage who carefully inspected the 911 and set it up to run sweetly. Purchased by our vendor in 2006, the car has since undergone a steady programme of recommissioning work. It was stripped, prepared, and professionally repainted in its original Polo Red and the interior has benefitted from new carpets, new vinyl covering in the rear, and a set of new, period aircraft-style, seatbelts provided by Quickfit Safety Belts of Stanmore in Middlesex. The engine has been fully rebuilt by Mani Pou including the carburetors and the car has covered less than 100 miles since.

The Porsche 911 ‘Carrera 3.0’ has a very special place in the history of the 911, as it brought together elements from two of Porsche’s most legendary cars. It was the latest incarnation of the Carrera name, originally introduced to the 911 series as the classic 2.7 RS in late 1972, and the Carrera 3’s 2993cc engine used the same die-cast aluminium crankcase as its cousin, the newly introduced Porsche 930 Turbo’. Sold between 1976-1977, and during its short two-year lifespan only 3,687 cars were built – a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Of these, 2,564 were coupés, 1,123 were produced in Targa form, and only a very small number of these were manufactured in RHD. This particular UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 911 3.0 Carrera Sport was delivered to its first owner, Mr P. Arnold of Dolphin Square, SW1 on the 14th June 1976. The car is finished in Copper Brown Metallic with a Cinnamon interior, and being a Carrera Sport features options such as a Blaupunkt Bamberg radio, front and rear spoilers, the distinctive ‘Whale Tail, Bilstein shock absorbers, a 5-speed manual gearbox, and wider Fuchs alloy wheels.

After a handful of owners, the car was purchased by our vendor in 2008. A Porsche enthusiast at heart, he set about returning this car to its former glory with a full bare-metal, glass-out repaint in its original period colour, for which a bill from respected classic car specialists, D.C.Coachworks, is included in the history file. At around the same time, the front seats were given the Southbound Trimmers treatment and are now looking superb. Throughout his ownership, the car has been serviced and maintained by Porsche Centre Tonbridge with the last service being carried out by them in June 2017. The original service book shows 10 previous stamps for servicing and maintenance over the years and included in the file are a number of old MOT certificates and relevant invoices. The top end of the engine was also rebuilt in the last few years. Supplied with a UK V5C, an MOT test certificate valid until 15th May 2018, and its tools and books, this lovely example now shows 144,492 miles on the odometer. This car presents a wonderful opportunity to own a well-sorted and very usable classic Porsche – retro cool at its finest!

Following the demise of the 1973 Carrera 2.7RS, the 964 Carrera of 1991 became the next Porsche to sport the famous ‘RS’ designation and, like its predecessor, was a ‘homologation special’ originally built to race in the Carrera Cup Series, which was part of the publicity machine surrounding the 964. In common with the original RS, there were essentially two different versions available, the Sport (frequently referred to as the Lightweight) and the Touring (RST). The overwhelming majority of these were Lightweights and, apart from the half-dozen, right-hand drive Touring models imported into the UK, few are thought to have reached other markets. The road-going RST had more power, more grip, and better braking than the existing 964 but, crucially, carried less weight. Its engine was a blueprinted version of the standard car’s 3600cc air-cooled flat six but with a lighter single mass flywheel, and a re-chipped engine management system. Power was only up 10bhp on the standard car but there was a decent amount of extra torque and the car was significantly lighter. The suspension was lowered by 1.5 inches and stiffer springs and dampers were fitted. Other tweaks included harder suspension bushes, ‘Unibal’ top strut mounts, and beefier engine and gearbox mounts. The Touring retained the standard car’s clutch but uprated brakes from the Turbo were incorporated. Wheels were unique magnesium 17-inch rims with lower profile rubber. Both Lightweight and Touring models were fitted with power-steering. The RS Lightweight, however, took weight saving to another level, even reducing the level of rust proofing but, if this was a little too uncompromising for some tastes, the Tourings retained most of the usual Carrera equipment as well as the normal amounts of anti-rust and soundproofing.

This 1992, 911(964) RS Touring was finished on 05/03/1992 and despatched to the distributing dealer JCT Brooklands where it remained until becoming the pride and joy of its first owner, John Smith of Warefield and was registered on 25/09/93. It was subsequently enjoyed by a further three owners before our vendor purchased it from Autofarm in late February 2002. According to its accompanying Porsche ‘Certificate of Authenticity’, the car was built in right-hand drive and was destined for the UK market. It was finished in Black (A1A1) with a Black interior and was specified with Sport leather seats featuring triple colour seat inlays, top-tinted windscreen, and a sunroof. The car has been part of a family collection of immaculate Porsches and the comprehensive history file is indicative of the fastidious nature of our vendor. As well as the Porsche C of A, the file contains membership details of the 964 RS Register, the V5C, MOT test certificates going back to October ‘02 (the latest being issued on 22/04/2017 at 51,195 miles with no advisories), a number of old tax discs, lots of correspondence relating to changes of Registration Number (the current plate C2 RST is remaining with the car), a number of period road tests and magazine articles, and all the service and maintenance history whilst in our vendor’s possession. The most recent invoice (RPM in Tring) details a major service at 51,000 miles with four new Michelin PS2 N3s, a new battery, and an alignment and geometry check. Early in his ownership (46,466 miles), the car was entrusted to JZ in Kings Langley to “Carry out a de-cat system, supply and fit performance chip.” The resulting dyno printout shows 278.8bhp at the flywheel at 5,909rpm. There are rare cars, and then there is the right-hand drive, 964 RS Touring. Only 11 are recorded as having been built, with six of these destined for the UK, making this immaculate all-black example really special and it’s no wonder that they are actively sought after by serious Porsche collectors all over the world.

In 1978, Porsche introduced the latest version of their 911 designated the ‘911 SC’. It featured a 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed (915) transmission. Originally, power output was 180bhp, later 188bhp and then in 1981, it was increased to 204bhp. This right-hand drive 911 SC is presented in the classic colour combination of Guards Red with a contrasting Black interior. This car has been enjoyed by just four owners in the UK since 1984 after having spent the first few years of its life in Ireland. There is a good history file with the car with a variety of invoices detailing work carried on the car in the past. Our vendor recently sent his SC to the Porsche Centre Bournemouth who serviced the car at a cost of £2,500 and details of this are in the aforementioned history file. Now showing just over 82,000 miles and supplied with an MOT test certificate, this is an excellent value entry into ‘Classic 911’ ownership, with a great blend of traditional styling and a more refined driving experience than earlier models.

Porsche’s first attempt at building a race car was the 550 Spyder. It was powered by their Carrera 1500cc quad-cam flat-four engine and it soon gained a reputation as a ‘Giant Killer’ with just a modest 115bhp. In 1956, an evolution of the Spyder won the Targa Floria and the 550 was to record numerous successes worldwide over the next few years. During September 1955, one of the first ninety 550 Spyders (Vin 550-0055) would, sadly, be immortalised in history when James Dean, actor and budding racing driver, collided with Donald Turnupseed on his way to the Salinas Road Race. The transaxle was removed from the wreck of the Spyder and is still owned in the USA, and the battered bodywork of ‘Little Bastard’ toured the States as a macabre reminder to speeding motorists. Between venues, it went missing and has not been heard of since, however, somebody knows where it is.

The overall fit and finish of the bodywork is of an exceptionally high standard and the general condition is commensurate with only having covered 3,500 miles. The rear wings have been painstakingly detailed with red painted flashes with gold edging as a ‘nod’ to period race liveries and are painted on. The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather enginecover straps. The red leather interior features a 14-inch Nardi wood rim wheel, aluminium control stalks, and a push-button starter. The weather equipment consists of full/half tonneau and side screens. The engine is 1915cc, which gives vivid performance combined with the legendary nimble handling offered by the tubular chassis and coil-over suspension. It’s registered as a 1955 Chamonix so its exempt from Road Fund Tax. With original 550 Spyders at £5,000,000, this is a very good second best and in this condition, and at this guide, represents remarkable value.

Based on the 993 generation of the 911 Turbo, the Porsche GT2 debuted in 1993 and was intended as a customer ‘GT’ racer replacing the outgoing 964 Carrera RSR. These 993 GT2s had a dramatic profile with wide composite wings and arches and a distinctive rear wing with air scoops in the struts. At its introduction, it had a twin-turbo 3.6-litre engine putting out 430bhp, which was later uprated to 450bhp. The name was taken from the international ‘GT2’ class in which it was designed to compete. Just 57 road-going cars were built, however, the 993 GT2 proved particularly successful in motor sport and is still regarded with some reverence. With the advent of the water-cooled 996 it was inevitable that a GT2 version would be on the cards fairly soon and in 2001, Weissach duly obliged. The new car was powered by the M96/70 3.6-litre, twin-turbocharged, flat six producing 462bhp at 5,700rpm and 620Nm of torque at 3,500rpm fed through a six-speed gearbox driving the rear wheels only. Body modifications improved the car’s dynamics and, although similar wide wings and arches were used along with a more aggressive nose and a larger rear wing, the whole effect was more subtle than the slightly ‘tacked on’ look of the 993 GT2. Power was not the only objective and the car’s weight was reduced by 200 pounds from the basic 911 Turbo which, when combined with stiffer springs and other suspension modifications, resulted in superb handling. In period, this was the fastest road car Porsche had ever produced. Naturally, the expectation was that the GT2 would ‘go racing’ however this was never the factory’s intention. The requirements of the bean counters to build the car in significantly higher volumes than its predecessor, and the fact that, at the time, the 3.6-litre, naturally-aspirated Mezger engine was now the Porsche power plant with sporting pretensions, meant that the GT2 was always pointed at becoming a top of the range, intercontinental, ‘supercar’.
According to its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this 996 GT2 was completed on 04/12/2001 and first registered on 01/01/2002. It was optioned with the Clubsport Package (M003), Red seatbelts, top-tinted windscreen and a CDR-22 CD/radio. Finished in Arctic Silver (X1X1) with a Black Clubsport interior, it was dispatched to the supplying dealer, AFN in Guildford. Having recently been part of a collection of significant Porsches, the car has obviously been lightly used by its last few owners as the accompanying MOT test certificates indicate that it has covered less than 10,000 miles in the last eight years. The most recent of these was issued on 22/04/2017 at 39,073 miles with no advisories. The Service Records are complete with 10 stamps in the book from Porsche up until 2008 and marque specialists thereafter, the most recent being on 15/07/2016 at 37,512 miles. The owner’s file contains a large number of invoices going back to 2009. These invoices total just over £28,000 and suggest that not a single penny has been spared looking after the health of this rare car. Far too many to detail here (please feel free to enquire at the Documents Desk) but the latest indicates that the limited-slip differential was removed, stripped and cleaned before being rebuilt with a ‘Motorsport’ diff pack at a cost of £2,000. Also in the history file with the Certificate of Authenticity, invoices, MOT test certificates, V5Cs, and Service History are the Porsche GT2 Press Release and a couple of ‘Total 911’ magazines with contemporary reports. Only 66 996 GT2s were built for the UK market in 1992, and only 17 right-hand drive Clubsports were built during the whole of GT2 production (Series 1 and 2), so this is a very rare car. These cars have now achieved a ‘cult’ status with a growing following and one in this condition that has patently been well cared for would make a very astute purchase.
However, to appease those who had been hoping for a new ‘turn-key’ racer, the Clubsport was introduced. The Clubsport package offered fire-retardant cloth-lined Recaros, six-point race harnesses, a bolt-in rear roll cage (front section supplied separately), fire extinguisher, and a battery cut-off switch.

Possibly the ultimate version of the 3.2 Carrera was the ‘Option M491-Turbo-look’ or ‘Supersport’ as it later became known in the UK. Initially, Option M491 was only available on a Coupé and had to be ordered through the ‘Special Wishes’ programme, but was later extended to include the Targa and Cabriolet in 1985, before becoming an official model available from dealers in 1986. From 1987 onwards these dramatic versions were officially known as SSE (Supersport Equipment), and the cars in this final three-year run up until 1989 were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox. ‘M491’ was not just a sop to the excesses of the 1980s, with flared arches evoking the appearance of some dramatic Porsche models from the past, but was a popular option offering the ‘macho’ good looks of the Turbo without the mechanical complexities. However, it was not cheap adding over £10,000 to the cost of a standard variant by the end of the model’s life in 1989, possibly explaining the relatively small build numbers. The SSE specification also included a limited slip differential, the stiffer suspension and superior braking system from the 930 Turbo, a wrap-around deep chin-spoiler, the famous ‘tea-tray’ rear spoiler, and wider Fuchs alloy wheels. The rarity of Supersport models is undeniable, especially in right-hand drive, but official figures are hard to come by. A respected source quotes that just 651 C16 (UK-supplied) M491 cars (including all Coupés, Targas and Cabriolets) were manufactured between 1984 and 1989.
The car has been enjoyed by three previous keepers and has not been offered for sale in almost 10 years. During his tenure, our fastidious vendor has kept and maintained the 911 to an exacting standard, entrusting it to his local Porsche Centre for regular servicing, with the technicians there regularly pointing out that they have never seen a better example! Indeed, the car is so good, it won a Porsche Club GB Concours d’Elegance event without even trying, merely being parked in the car park. Our vendor attended the event as a spectator, returning to his car to find a trophy adorning it! He was accordingly invited back into the event where the car was universally revered. This car presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, in simply superb condition. It has never required any major work due to its regular servicing, low mileage, and garage storage. Rarely have these true classic 1980s 911s lived such a pampered life in the hands of so few owners – let alone a rare Supersport model. Small details like two sets of keys, factory and supplying dealer stickers still in place, a complete Porsche tool-roll (still in its bag!), jack and inflation kit, help support this dutiful ownership. This is simply a lovely and genuine example of one of the most sought-after models from a classic period in the history of the 911.
The sparkling Porsche presented here has to be seen to be believed. It is a privilege to be able to offer for sale a car of this standard – it is simply one of the most well-preserved cars we have ever seen. It’s an original C16, right-hand drive, 1988 Porsche 911 Sportsport (SSE) 3.2 Carrera Targa, which has remarkably accrued just 20,000 genuine and verifiable miles. It’s believed to be one of just 33 C16 RHD Targas produced in 1988 and possibly the only one in Grand Prix White paintwork with a corresponding white leather interior, including the option of the desirable ‘Sport’ seats. This striking combination would appear to be all original (apart from the bonnet, which has been professionally repainted), and the car’s condition is commensurate with its very low mileage and meticulous upkeep over almost 30 years. The indicated mileage is supported by the fully stamped service book and an impressive history file including many MOT certificates and a wealth of invoices.

When the 964 was first brought to market, Porsche were keen to emphasise that, although it was patently still a 911, it was in fact 85% different from the outgoing model. The design featured more integrated bumpers and a host of mechanical changes, the most significant of which was the availability of four-wheel drive. The displacement was now up to 3600cc, producing 250bhp, power steering and ABS brakes were now fitted as standard, and the torsion bar rear suspension was replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers. Careful attention to the aerodynamics reduced the drag coefficient down to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift, stability and road holding at high speed were greatly improved. A new feature was the retractable spoiler, which automatically extended at 50mph and in addition to seriously increasing downforce, also doubled the volume of cooling air fed into the engine compartment. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, most variants were reputed to be capable of 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds with a top speed of over 160mph. The car presented here is a right-hand drive (C16), 1990 964 Carrera 2 fitted with a manual gearbox. This impressively genuine car is one of the best examples of a 964 we have seen. Looking resplendent in the rare colour of Velvet Red Metallic (81L), with a correspondingly bold interior, it’s hard to believe this is a 27-year-old car, such is the level of preservation.

It was then cared for by Porsche specialists ‘Morrison Motors’ of Glasgow up until 86,964 miles in 2013. The car has had just two previous owners and is accompanied by its original purchase invoice, a huge history file, its original tools, jack, compressor and original spare keys. Our Porsche-enthusiast vendor, who has a small collection of special cars, bought the car some years ago and has used it sparingly. After purchasing the best 964 Carrera 2 he could find from a well-respected independent retailer of classic cars, he spent approximately £9,000 on the car, building on its already superb condition to improve it yet further, belying its current mileage of 96,000 miles. The effect of this, plus its dutiful ownership history, means the car drives and presents like one that has covered half this mileage.

The 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure by the company, in that it featured a front-mounted, water-cooled engine. The 1984cc engine was essentially an Audi unit that Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear-mounted gearbox/transaxle and the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near-perfect weight balance that naturally improved the handling. The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two body shell that featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot, making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph. Things were to improve, however, with the arrival of the 924 S, which was fitted with an ‘all-Porsche’ designed 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With its sure-footed handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic.

This UK 924 S was supplied new in February 1987 by Follett Porsche in London to Mr. Ashley Munir who purchased it as a gift for his daughter.

From 1978 onwards, Porsche revised the 930 Turbo with a larger 3.3-litre, turbocharged and inter-cooled engine that produced 300bhp. They also added the famous ‘tea tray’ and from the mid 1980s onwards offered firstly an SE specification and more latterly an LE specification, both of which featured vented rear wheel arches to cool the rear discs, sill extensions (the same as the ‘flat-nose’ option), along with a special interior soft leather trim, and polished wheel rims. In 1985, Glenn Tipton – the lead guitarist and songwriter of the legendary heavy metal band, Judas Priest – decided to order a new 911 Turbo for himself. Learning of the new SE derivative from his local dealer, Swinford Motors of Stourbridge, he ordered a car in the one-off colour of Chiffon White and arranged to collect the car from the factory whilst touring in Europe with Judas Priest. Not surprisingly, he was enormously excited by his ballistic new toy and the Turbo continued to impress as the months went by, so much, in fact, that he was inspired to write the platinum-selling album - ‘Turbo’ - and also launch the successful single ‘Turbo Lover’. This car became his pride and joy and he has owned and maintained it with great care ever since, keeping the mileage down to just 14,100 today.

Often cited by enthusiasts as ‘the last real Porsche’, the 993 straddles the bridge between pure high performance driving thrills, visceral dynamics, and appealing design-led solutions to emissions and safety requirements. No previous 911 variant had possessed such high-speed cornering ability and dynamic stability aided by the significantly wider track and all-alloy rear suspension. The six-speed manual gearbox not only surpassed the previous four and five-speed boxes in usability, but most commentators also found it to be a quicker reacting and a smoother gear change, enhancing the whole driving experience.
It’s supplied with a UK V5C, a comprehensive history file containing old invoices and previous MOT test certificates, the original leather book pack with the original handbooks, and the service book showing 16 stamps from both main dealers and marque specialists. The 993 has become very topical over the last few years and a C4 Cabriolet in this smooth colour combination and in this condition represents an opportunity to own a modern-classic Porsche 911 that will become more sought after with each passing year.
This UK-supplied, right-hand drive 993 Carrera 4 Cabriolet was registered with its first owner on 26th February 1996. Finished in Arena Red Metallic with a full Grey leather interior, this four-wheel drive example is fitted with the torquier and more powerful Varioram engine with a 6-speed gearbox. The Arena Red colour coding is extended to the hood, which is in super condition and is fitted with a new rear window, along with the electric sport hard-shell backed seats. With just over 81,000 miles on the odometer, this smart Porsche presents fantastically well on the exterior and the cabin is free of any wear and tear. Porsche overmats, fitted from new, have ensured that the carpets have aged well and the dashboard and switchgear remain in good condition.

The 1973 Porsche 911 is considered by all knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts to be the single best 911 of all time. This is high praise when you consider the large number of 911 models that have been built over the 50+ years since the model’s introduction. The Carrera RS (Renn Sport) is still to this day the benchmark 911, the beautiful lines only being matched by the sheer delight of driving it, with its positive steering, exhilarating sound and linear performance. The RS had a purity of purpose that was not compromised by outside factors. For this reason, the Porsche RS Replica or ‘back-date’ market has grown enormously and demand is far outstripping the supply of quality machines.

The 356 is acknowledged as Porsche’s first production car and was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engined, rear-wheel drive, two-door sports car available in hardtop, coupé, and open configurations. The model was created by Ferdinand ‘Ferry’ Porsche (son of Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the company), based on an original design by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda, and its mechanicals (including engine, suspension, and chassis) were derived from the Volkswagen Beetle. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture and Porsche re-engineered and refined the car with a focus on performance. By the late ‘50s, many fewer parts were shared between Volkswagen and Porsche and increasing success with its racing and road cars brought Porsche orders for over 10,000 units in 1964, and by the time 356 production ended in 1965, approximately 76,000 had been produced. Today, the Porsche 356 is a highly regarded collector’s car with the Super 90 and ‘S’ engines amongst the most desirable, partially due to the type’s much-enjoyed success in rallying, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 1,000km Buenos Aires, the Mille Miglia, the Targa Florio, and the Carrera Panamericana.

We are pleased to offer this particular right-hand drive Porsche 356B Super 90 Cabriolet, which was manufactured in August 1961, meaning it utilised the revised 1962 model year ‘T6’ body style, easily recognisable by the twin grilles on the engine lid. Delivered new to a Mr. P. Golding of the King’s Road, London, chassis #155621 was owned by him until 1994 when it was sold to its next owner a Mr. K. Klimek. The comprehensive file that accompanies the car shows that respected Porsche 356 specialist Barry Curtis was commissioned to replace the original engine with a rebuilt correctspecification unit in 2001. At this time, other work was undertaken which included a brake overhaul and a new clutch. During Mr Klimek’s tenure, a move to New Zealand meant his Aston Martin and this cherished 356 were shipped overseas before returning back to UK shores in 2013. Although the car has never been fully restored, it did benefit from a bare-metal repaint in Silver Blue Metallic in 2013, along with some fresh chrome and a new set of wheels. Supplied with a UK V5C, a correct spare wheel, a spare set of keys, a driver’s manual, and a leather-bound history file, this rare UK right-hand drive car is now showing 83,250 miles on the odometer. With 356 Speedsters now commanding premium prices, this equally elegant and rare open-top Porsche looks like an attractive proposition.

Potential customers for a 964 who were keen on waiting for the arrival of the rumoured ‘Widebody look’ had to keep their chequebooks closed for three years until late 1991 (for the 1992 model year) when a few examples of this stand-alone model of the 964 series began to appear. The new car utilised the body shape of the 964 Turbo 3.3 without the huge rear spoiler and the cabriolet, in particular, was a real eye-catcher. The line of the roof blended into the body line, and no longer looked awkward bisected by that huge spoiler. As with ‘Turbo-Look’ models of previous years, various chassis parts, the braking system, and the wider 17-inch wheels of the 964 Turbo 3.3 were used on the car to further enhance the package. Produced towards the end of the 964’s life, just 24 right-hand drive examples came to the UK in 1992 and 1993 possibly because the Cabriolet Turbo-Look was so expensive. In fact, it cost an eyewatering £70,397.39 in 1992, which was a full £13,845.52 more than the standard, narrow-bodied Carrera 2 Cabriolet. This splendid Porsche 964 Carrera 2 Tiptronic is a factory ‘Turbo Wide Body’ Cabriolet, one of just 24 UK-delivered C16 cars built, of which just a handful were Tiptronic examples, making it a very rare car indeed.

Porsche planned to enter the ‘Group 4’ Sports Car Class for Le Mans in 1980 and based their car on their successful 924 mainstream model. All non-essential elements were removed from the car in an effort to reduce weight. The vehicle was subsequently entered into the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans but, in order to comply with homologation regulations, a number of road-going versions had to be produced and Porsche addressed this rule with the Carrera GT. Standard specification included a close ratio, dog-leg, 5-speed gearbox, an LSD, Bilstein shock absorbers, polyurethane plastic front and rear flared guards, a polyurethane plastic front spoiler, and a bonnet mounted air scoop for the intercooler. With a 2-litre turbocharged engine producing 210bhp, it would reach a top speed of 150mph and hit 60mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds.

Possibly the ultimate version of the 3.2 Carrera was the ‘Option M491 Turbo-Look’ or ‘Supersport’ as it later became known in the UK. Initially, Option M491 was only available on a Coupé and had to be ordered through the ‘Special Wishes’ programme, but was later extended to include the Targa and Cabriolet in 1985, before becoming an official model available from dealers in 1986. From 1987 onwards these dramatic versions were officially known as SSE (Supersport Equipment), and the cars in this final three-year run up until 1989 were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox. ‘M491’ was not just a sop to the excesses of the 1980s, with flared arches evoking the appearance of some dramatic Porsche models from the past, but was a popular option offering the ‘macho’ good looks of the Turbo without the mechanical complexities. However, it was not cheap, adding over £10,000 to the cost of a standard variant by the end of the model’s life in 1989, possibly explaining the relatively small build numbers. The SSE specification also included a limited slip differential, the stiffer suspension and superior braking system from the 930 Turbo, a wrap-around deep chin-spoiler, the famous ‘tea-tray’ rear spoiler, and wider Fuchs alloy wheels. The rarity of Supersport models is undeniable, especially in right-hand drive, but official figures are hard to come by. A respected

The dark metallic blue example offered here is one of just 220 C16 (UK specification), right-hand drive, Supersport Targas produced. It has been enjoyed by just three owners and appears to have been looked after throughout its life. It was purchased in 1991 by the current owner, a well-known guitarist and founding member of the cult rock band Whitesnake, and has an indicated mileage of just short of 91,000. There is very little in the way of history with the car so naturally we are unable to warrant the mileage, however, we are told that the car has been maintained annually by a local specialist garage. Having recently benefitted from some minor recommissioning work, the car is presented in excellent condition and appears to be a well-preserved example with no obvious deviations from its original specification.

During 1977/78, the 930 Turbo’s capacity went up from 3.0 to 3.3 litres and an air-to-air intercooler was positioned under the rear spoiler. The spoiler was reprofiled and raised slightly to make room for the intercooler assembly, and this meant saying goodbye to the ‘whale-tail’ and welcoming the equally distinctive ‘teatray’. By cooling the pressurised air charge, power was increased from 260bhp to 300bhp, bringing the 0-60mph time down to 5.0 seconds, and the larger engine helped reduce a lot of the turbo lag inherent in the earlier version. Porsche also upgraded the brakes to units similar to those used on the 917 race car but was able to keep the original strengthened gearbox, which had the benefit of freeing up space inside the casing for larger and stronger gear clusters, with an impressive torque capacity of 475lb-ft.
An avid enthusiast, our vendor spent a lot of time seeking out the best 930 he could find back in 1987, finally sourcing this car from Porsche specialists Hendon Way Motors. During his lifelong association with it, Porsche Colchester (formerly Lancaster Porsche) has been routinely entrusted with servicing and maintenance, with every invoice filed away respectively and even the magazine clipping of the original Hendon Way advert for the car remains in the file. There is also a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche.

You only keep a car this long if it’s particularly good and this 911’s condition speaks for itself, with the current mileage of 93,000 being supported by an original stamped-up service booklet and an extremely impressive history file including many MOT certificates and a wealth of invoices.
Finding such a well-maintained and consequently healthy 930 is hard enough, but one that has not been offered for sale in three decades, having had just two previous keepers, is extremely difficult. This is a real opportunity to acquire, not only a great example of a legendary Porsche model, but to buy into and benefit from the 30 years of care that have gone into this car.

Intended primarily for competition, although still fully road legal, the Porsche 911 GT3 can trace its ancestry all the way back through a succession of high-performance models to the legendary 911 Carrera RS of 1973. The car takes its name from the FIA’s GT3 category of production sports car racing and has been produced in a variety of versions since its introduction in 1999 when the GT3 badges were applied to the Type 996 iteration of the perennial 911. The 3.6-litre flat-six engine, though, departed from mainstream Type 996 practice by virtue of its water-cooled cylinders, leaving only the heads cooled by air. Called the ‘Metzger’ engine after its designer, Hans Metzger, this unit was closely related to that of the Porsche 962 ‘Sports Prototypes’ and the 911 GT1 racer. In the GT3 it produced 355bhp, 59 horsepower more than in the standard 996, which was delivered to the wheels through a strengthened gearbox boasting interchangeable ratios. To make the GT3 fit for circuit use, the brakes, suspension, and wheels were uprated to cope with the substantial increase in performance, whilst aerodynamic downforce was enhanced by a larger front air dam and a distinctive rear spoiler. Weight reduction extended to the removal of the rear seats and most of the sound deadening, rear speakers, sunroof, and air conditioning, though the latter could be ordered as an option,

as could a CD/radio. In its original Type 996 incarnation, as seen here, the 911 GT3 was produced up to 2006. On offer here is a right-hand drive, UK, 996 GT3 finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with the Clubsport package and in absolutely beautiful condition. The car was supplied new by HR Owen on the 26th-03-2000 and has enjoyed some time in a private collection. Impeccably maintained from new, the service history is complete, starting with its initial visit to AFN Reading on 27/12/2001 at 3,812 miles and culminating with the Porsche Centre Glasgow’s stamp endorsing the car’s 11th service on 20/09/17. The current indicated mileage is 54,015. The car is fitted with a Tracker and comes with its original wallet containing the handbooks and service history, the newly issued MOT test certificate, and both sets of keys. The power and torque of the 3.6-litre engine, firmly attached to a communicative chassis, superb brakes, perfect control weighting, precise steering, and the intangible input of generations of greyhaired wizards who deeply understand ‘sports cars’, all result in one of the most engaging driver’s cars of its era. Its success led to a second-generation 996 GT3, the 996 GT3 RS, as well as the subsequent 997 versions. That’s an outstanding bloodline.

The Turbo S was undoubtedly the fastest 944 and was introduced in 1988 as a limited production run, with a specification that emulated the ‘Turbo Cup’ race cars. Improvements included the M44/52 engine (with a new turbocharger, modified turbine vanes and enhanced DME mapping), a stronger clutch, transmission and limited slip differential, plus larger 12-inch front disc brakes (similar to the 928 S4), adjustable Koni suspension (via the M030 option package) and special ‘Club Sport’ alloy wheels. Initially, there were 1,000 Turbo S cars built, of which 77 were sold in the UK. All these cars were finished in a bespoke ‘Silver with a hint of Pink’ paintwork (affectionately called ‘Silberrosa’ or Silver Rose) with a ‘Burgundy Studio Check’ cloth interior and all were equipped to Option Code M758. Following the initial run of Silver Rose cars and in response to customer demand, midway through 1988 any colour from the Porsche catalogue, along with any interior option, could be specified instead of the ‘Silver Rose’ scheme. All the cars featured a stylised ‘Turbo’ script on the wing as a gesture to earlier high-performance Porsches, and cost a huge 10% more than a standard Turbo. This very rare, right-hand drive, 944 turbo S is presented in the striking combination of Slate Grey with black leather interior. Accompanying the car is a good history file containing details of its most recent service including a cam belt change. The vendor also informs us that in recent years a new radiator, belts, and clutch have been fitted to the car along with a rebuild of the transmission. Now showing just over 112,000 miles, this is a lovely example of this rare 1980s classic Porsche and these limited edition models are much sought-after by marque enthusiasts for a good reason, so don’t miss out!

The 911 Carrera RS 3.6 was introduced by Porsche in 1992 and was developed specifically for the European market as a ‘track-ready’ lightweight version of the Carrera 2. Whilst the RS did not look substantially different from other top-end 911s, Porsche engineers utilised the simple and time-honored motorsports philosophy of ‘reduce weight, add power’ to produce the most dynamic 911 since the original Carrera RS in 1973. Porsche went to great lengths to lighten the 964RS by nearly 175 kilograms. Aluminium was used for the doors and bonnet, and thinner glass was used for the side and rear windows. Inside, Porsche disposed of the 911’s usual luxuries, including its rear seats, power windows, electronically adjustable front seats, and front armrests. They also chose to forgo the power steering, resulting in greater steering interaction and feedback for the driver. Thanks to the use of a lightweight, single-mass flywheel, the Carrera RS enjoyed a healthy boost in power, as well as making the 3.6-litre flat six considerably more throttle-responsive than the standard unit in the Carrera 2. With its narrow body, and lack of a rear spoiler, the elegant and powerful type 964 is amongst the most sought-after modern non-turbocharged 911 variants. This particular Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS was delivered and first registered in Germany on 4th November 1991, according to the Fahrzeugbrief – the German registration document included in the file. Finished in Amethyst Purple Metallic with triple-colour seat

inlays and black carpets throughout, the car was supplied by Max Moritz Porsche to Germany’s leading Tuning Magazine and became immediately infamous after engine upgrades by the renowned German tuner, Rolf Heidi, which included a supercharger and resulted in an output of around 462bhp! Magazine articles at the time showed the car accelerated from 0-100mph in mere eight seconds. The car was enjoyed by another owner in Germany before it was purchased by our vendor in 2004 and registered with the DVLA in the UK. After some time driving the car in its modified configuration, it was decided that it would be best to return it to its standard specification, and respected RS specialist, Ninemeister was commissioned to source and build a series-correct engine, for which there is a bill in the file. Maintained by a qualified Porsche mechanic throughout, 2012 saw the addition of Powerflex bushes and a complete setup by one of Britain’s most acknowledged chassis tuning experts, Chris Franklin at Center Gravity, Atherstone. Although the car has spent most of its time in the UK in professional storage and infrequently used, the history file does include many maintenance invoices. This sparkling RS is supplied with a UK V5C, an MOT test certificate valid until 20th September 2018, the original spare wheel, tools, and jack, along with the service book and handbook. Now showing only 33,186km on the odometer, this is a superb example of the amazing 964RS, the spiritual successor to the legendary 2.7RS.

UK-supplied in Guards Red with much recent expenditure. The Porsche 930 Turbo was a genuine ‘Supercar’ that defined the ‘70s and ‘80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at the time. It was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show and full production commenced two years later. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS, which was increased to 3.0 litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gained from Porsche’s 917/30 Can-Am program. The bodywork received special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear whale-tail and the brakes came directly from the Porsche 917 race car. According to the extensive history file, this delightful 930 Turbo was delivered on the 10th May 1979 to its first owner by Isaac Agnew Mallusk Ltd, now known as the Porsche Centre Belfast. It was registered to our vendor in London on the 10th May 2017, thirty-eight years to the day since first delivery, after benefiting from some £4,000 of servicing and recommissioning works by Porsche specialist George McMillan in Antrim as the car had been off the road since 2008.

The 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such, will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. There is a school of thought that it is the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty-odd years on, it still looks modern – a truly timeless design penned by Englishman, Toni Hatter. The model was launched in the autumn of 1994 and was claimed by the factory to be 80% new. The bodywork was altogether more curvaceous, with a number of new panels and the overall look was much smoother and more integrated. The biggest change under the skin was the new multi-link rear suspension, engendering greater driver confidence, less road noise, and excellent ride quality. Designed to give a level of passive rear-wheel steering (the ‘Weissach effect’), thus controlling the way the suspension behaved under cornering, braking, and acceleration, it transformed the 911. The 993 was also the first 911 to be equipped with power steering and an advanced ABS system. The new car used essentially the same 3.6-litre engine as the 964, mated to a development of the worthy G50 gearbox, but now with six forward gears. Whereas the 964 produced 247bhp, the 993 produced a healthy 272bhp resulting in a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match.
is finished in Iris Blue Metallic with a Marble Grey interior. Wellspecified from new, it was fitted with Sport seats with electric height adjustment, rear wiper, top-tinted windscreen, air conditioning, and a sunroof. In addition, it has been treated to tinted privacy glass in the rear and a really good sound system.
This very smart 993 Tiptronic ‘S’ is is an early example of the last of the air-cooled 911s (first registered on 25/04/1994) and

In February 2006, Porsche revealed their first generation 997 GT3, and in common with all GT2 and GT3 iterations, most of the developments and upgrades were directly related to performance improvements on their competition cars, and the associated homologation requirements for FIA approval. In addition to the new 415bhp, 3.6-litre flat-six with its six-speed box, the vehicle pioneered ‘zero lift’ aerodynamics, meaning, at speed, the body shape created only aerodynamic downforce with no grip-diminishing lift, and made extensive use of a racing-related version of Porsche’s active PASM suspension system. This made it the first of the quick RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically-adjustable suspension setup. An ‘RS’ version of the GT3 became available in October of that year weighing some 20 kilos less, and this saving was achieved by the use of a carbon fibre rear wing, a plastic engine cover and a lightweight rear window made from the same material. A slightly wider track was concealed in the muscular rear end provided by the Carrera 4 shell, aiding grip and stability at the expense of a little bit more drag, however, the reduction in weight to 1,375kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp/ton. This first-generation 997 GT3 RS is finished in gleaming Black with contrasting Orange side strips (with GT3 RS logo), exterior mirrors, wing end-plates, and factory order black wheels. In addition to the standard GT3 RS equipment levels, this car was specified from new with Carbon-Ceramic brakes, Xenon headlights, Cobra tracking, and an Alpine head unit with Bluetooth® and Satalite navigation. It has covered 36,500 miles in the hands of four former keepers and has a detailed service and maintenance history:

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.
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 test, 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.

The 914-6 was Porsche’s foil to criticism raised that the 914 was lacking in performance. With the sonorous flat-six 110bhp boxer engine from the 911T mounted amidships, Porsche had unwittingly produced one of its best handling cars to date, often embarrassing its 911 stablemates on track. Introduced to the UK in 1969 with a price tag of £3,475, nearly 50% more than the Jaguar E-Type, sales were, unsurprisingly, rather slow. Built between 1969 and 1972, with a total production run of only 3,360 and a growing recognition of how competent these little Porsches are, 914-6s prices are surely only going in one direction? Supplied in 1970 by the renowned Sonauto Porsche dealership in Paris, responsible for developing the Le Mans-winning 914-6 GT, this Adriatic Blue Porsche/Volkswagen benefits from a dealer uprated engine producing 160bhp. Currently fitted with a close ratio gearbox, lower final drive, and a great sounding sports exhaust, HUI 9146 is more than capable of leaving similarly aged 911s trailing in its wake. Imported by the current custodian in 2001, this unrestored car has benefitted from being dry-stored and only ever used on fine days, avoiding the fate of many 914s and 914-6s, the dreaded tin-worm. Believed to still retain the factory-applied paint from over 47 years ago, there cannot be many 914-6s boasting such originality. Supplied with the standard gearbox and differential in case a new owner should wish to return the car to standard, this mid-engined ‘70s Porsche/Volkswagen rarity comes with large history file, an MOT test certificate valid until May next year, and a speedo trip showing only 55,000km.

Sitting near the top of the 993-generation hierarchy, Porsche’s 911 Turbo S was introduced as the first-ever model of its kind in 1997. The basic facts can look a bit dry; Type 993, 450bhp, 3,605cc air-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with twin turbochargers and electronic fuel injection, six-speed manual transaxle, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, and four-wheel ventilated steel disc brakes, however, the Turbo S was a big step up over the standard 911 Turbo in terms of performance and price. Headlined by a 0–60mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100mph from a standstill in 8.9 seconds, only half a second faster than the standard Turbo. But that didn’t matter, the Turbo S was special and getting your name on the waiting list to buy one was nigh on impossible unless you were very closely related to a Dealer Principal. All 345 examples of the 993 Turbo S were built by Porsche’s Exclusive department and the specification included a number of unique features when compared to other 911s of the period. The car sported yellow brake calipers, a unique rear spoiler, polished five-spoke Turbo S wheels, an Aerokit front spoiler, an air intake in the rear wings, and four exhaust pipes at the rear. Inside, the 911 Turbo S luxuriated in carbon fibre trim contrasting with the softest of leathers and provided the type of luxury that customers had come to know and love from Porsche’s top-shelf models.
This UK-supplied, 993 Turbo S is one of 26 built in right-hand drive and was delivered to its first owner on the 24th April 1998. It’s presented in the striking combination of Ocean Blue with Grey leather and bespoke, carbon fibre interior trim. The owner’s file contains all the relevant book packs and manuals, and nine stamps are showing in the Service Records from new, with eight out of the nine stamps from Porsche main dealers. The last service was completed by Porsche Centre Silverstone in 2015 when the mileage was showing 36,122 and the odometer now indicates just over 36,210 as it has remained in our vendor’s private collection in recent years. There are also a number of invoices and older MOT test certificates in the history file clarifying that no expense has been spared on this special car, a fresh MOT test certificate, and the spare keys. As one of the rarest and most powerful models to sit on the vaunted 993 platform, the Turbo S is undoubtedly one of the most exciting air-cooled 911s to drive, thanks to its breathtaking performance. All 911s continue to become more attractive to collectors, and the 993 has led the pack as one of the most desirable generations, marking the final iteration of the air-cooled 911. High-horsepower models, such as the Turbo S, rarely become available for sale, and RHD examples (they only made 26) are rarer still. This is a very special Porsche and we welcome any inspection.

Built for the German market and first registered on 05/03/1993 to Porsche Zentrum Hamburg, this left-hand drive 964 Carrera 2 Cabriolet was factory-fitted with the Turbo body and consequently is very rare, ‘sehr selten’ as they say in Germany. It’s an ‘all original, matching numbers and stickers’ car that was enjoyed by two owners in Germany before being purchased in 1998 by its one UK owner, our vendor.

no other parts were needed. The original toolkit, compressor, spacesaver wheel, jack and hazard warning triangle are present and in good condition, as is the tonneau cover and a custom made fitted car cover. The Cabrio roof and the motors and cables were replaced in 2003 by Southdown Auto Trimmers. A new alarm system was installed by Selko in Warsaw in October 2010. The main oil tank pipe was replaced 29th March 2011 (see MSZ Racing receipt). The airconditioning condenser unit was replaced 10 August 2010 and the air-con works well. Rear blower motor replaced in Feb 2016. In August 2016, the pipes that serve the oil cooler for the ‘Tiptronic’ gearbox were replaced. In September 2017 the car was given a full 12,000 mile service at Autofarm and the oil scavenge pipe was replaced.” This is a fabulous Carrera 2 Cabriolet and has patently been looked after all its life. The coachwork and paintwork are both described as excellent as are the gearbox and transmission. The car was freshly serviced by Autofarm with some minor work (as above) last month and, we understand, is running sweetly. It’s finished in Gloss Black with a black interior and black carpets and with its dramatic ‘widebody’ looks, this 964 has a purposeful, Teutonic, ‘don’t mess with me’ look, however, the reality is that it’s a smart, reliable, top-down Porsche that’s just as happy popping down to the shops. We welcome any inspection of this rare and desirable 911.

In February 2006, Porsche revealed their first generation 997 GT3, and in common with all GT2 and GT3 iterations, most of the developments and upgrades were directly related to performance improvements on their competition cars and the associated homologation requirements for FIA approval. In addition to the new 415bhp, 3.6-litre flat-six with its six-speed box, the vehicle pioneered ‘zero lift’ aerodynamics, meaning at speed, the body shape created only aerodynamic downforce with no grip-diminishing lift, and made extensive use of a racing-related version of Porsche’s active PASM suspension system. This made it the first of the quick RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically-adjustable suspension setup. An ‘RS’ version of the GT3 became available in October of that year weighing some 20 kilos less, and this saving was achieved by the use of a carbon fibre rear wing, a plastic engine cover and a lightweight rear window made from the same material. A slightly wider track was concealed in the muscular rear end provided by the Carrera 4 shell, aiding grip and stability at the expense of a little bit more drag, however, the reduction in weight to 1,375kg resulted in an improved power to weight ratio of 300bhp/ton. This 2007, left-hand drive, GT3 RS is finished in Carrera White complemented by the Carbon Fibre Pack and RS ‘Satin’ alloy wheels. The interior has been completed in Charcoal Black with a factory-fitted, full multi-point roll cage, Nomex racing seats with full harnesses, along with a conventional shoulder belt in matching red. As you might expect, the car is superbly equipped. Dynamically it’s fitted with four-wheel drive, ABS, Full GT3 RS Fibre Pack including the Mirrors, Rear Spoiler and bonnet vent, Anti-Lock Brakes, and Xenon headLights.

The suspension has been upgraded to KW Coil-overs with an Electronic Cancelling Kit (£3,600), which can be set to the driver’s preference for road or track, the exhaust is now an Akrapovic three-piece system (£9,500) which sounds incredible, and the clutch has been beefed-up with a Carbon Clutch pack. This remarkable car started life in Germany and was sold by Porsche Stuttgart in December 2007. Its initial service was carried out by Porsche main dealers at 1,252km on 02-2008, and then 14,270kms-April 2011 at Porsche Osnabruck, 33,540kms-August 2014 at Porsche Bonn, and 36,006 – September 2016 at Dick Lovett Porsche Swindon. It was enjoyed by two owners in Germany before being imported to the UK and registered on 01/11/2016. The car is accompanied by all its manuals in the leather owner’s wallet, two sets of keys, invoices for works carried out, all the German paperwork, import papers, Certificate of Conformity, its UK V5C, and a fresh MOT test certificate. The current indicated mileage is 22,879 miles and the most recent ‘over-rev’ report was clean. This is a superbly focused Porsche and we welcome any inspection.
In terms of driver comfort, it has air conditioning, climate control, central locking, electric windows, power-assisted steering (PAS), tilt steering wheel, satellite navigation, driver airbag, passenger airbag, side airbags, immobiliser/alarm, in-car entertainment, AM/FM stereo, and premium sound system.

The original Porsche dealer for Birmingham and the surrounding area was Newton Garage and there, in the workshop, could be found three wise men – all factory trained Porsche technicians – and all running the workshop and servicing Porsches supplied throughout the Midlands. When Newton Garage lost the franchise in the early 1980s our three intrepid technicians - Messrs Pattison, Corbett, and Taylor – decided that their collective knowledge and experience was too great to go to waste. And so PCT Porsche was established, initially in Birmingham and latterly in Coventry where today, they still enjoy an exceptional reputation as one of the most knowledgeable and experienced specialist Porsche dealers in the country. In 1982, David Pattison bought this original right-hand drive, 2.7 Carrera, which had been UK-supplied through Malaya garage in Sussex back in January 1974. He bought it from Nick Faure, a noted

By attaching a KKK turbocharger to its 3.0-litre air-cooled flat-six engine (that could trace its origins back to the 911 RSR), the 930 was the most powerful production Porsche thus far and, suddenly, the 911 was a supercar. The production-ready 911 Turbo was shown at the Paris show in autumn 1974, and not surprisingly in an era when turbocharging was seen as rather exotic, captivated the world’s motoring press. Rightly, it was billed as a supremely fast and luxurious flagship model, combining ballistic performance and head-turning looks with air conditioning, electric windows, and other creature comforts. The car’s power and performance were celebrated (and kept on the ground) by an enormous ‘whale-tail’ spoiler and a wider track that needed those bulging wheel arches to keep it decent.
This particular car is a UK C16 specification delivered through Glen Henderson Porsche on 1st September 1983. Optional equipment at that time included air conditioning, a sunroof, electric heated passenger door mirror, and recoil bumpers.
Engine capacity was increased to 3.3 litres with a larger turbo and an integrated intercooler from late 1978 onwards. To fit the intercooler the larger ‘Tea-Tray’ was now fitted as standard as were revisions and improvements to both suspension and brakes.
With a fresh MOT test certificate until August 2018, this is a matching numbers car that presents extremely well in the metal and also drives well – as a 930 Turbo should. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is present and a Scorpion ‘Cat 5’ tracking system is fitted. Offered at a sensible guide price, we recommend viewing very strongly.

However, the car has benefitted from a full gearbox rebuild in November 2015 by DSD Motorwerks, who also carried out some engine works as well as a full service. It’s recently been fitted with a new front carpet set and a new rear shelf. In fact, bills and receipts confirm over £40,000 has been spent between 1998 and 2009 in maintaining this immaculate car.

In 1989, the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam, 16-valve, 3.0-litre version of the 944S engine, which was the largest fourcylinder engine in production at the time. The 944 S2 also benefited from a revised transmission and the gearing was tweaked to better suit the torque and peak power characteristics of the 3.0 L M44/41 powerplant. The S2 had the same rounded nose and rear valance found on the 944 Turbo model and this was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the bumper and bonnet profiles would merge smoothly, a design feature that was adopted widely on production cars from the mid-nineties. Offered here is a UK-supplied right-hand drive 944 Turbo, first registered on 5th October 1990 to its first owner. The comprehensive history file that accompanies the car shows it has been maintained by Porsche main dealers and marque specialists up to 2016 when it had covered 138,465 miles. Our vendor, for whom we sold a stunning 993 Turbo in a previous Porsche Sale, purchased this car last year with his sons and decided to embark on a full restoration. The glass was taken out and the car stripped back to bare metal and fully resprayed in its original colour of Guards Red. The interior was fully retrimmed in Nappa leather with perforations and the headrests embossed with the correct font and logo. The brake calipers have been refurbished and painted gloss black, and the alloy wheels have also had the same treatment with new Continental tyres fitted. All components removed during this restoration have either been cleaned, repainted or replaced and a complete photographic record accompanies the car. Now showing 141,195 miles on the odometer, this incredible looking 944 is supplied with all of its handbooks, the complete toolkit, two sets of keys, a UK V5C, and an MOT test certificate until 18th December 2017. All the hard work has been done and this car offers the opportunity to own a really fresh and sharp front-engined Turbo Porsche.

The prospect of combining the most powerful turbo engine in their range at the time, with a manual gearbox and mounting them in a rear-wheel drive, lightweight 911 was the inspiration for the rather special Porsche 911 GT2. At the same time, Porsche upgrade and modify the suspension and brakes, increase the engine output whilst lightening and removing interior components to create the ultimate driver’s version of the car at that time. This recipe has been used with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911 model.
The current indicated mileage is 40,948, and it benefits from full Porsche service history, details below;
This car is the GT2 version of the 911 (997), introduced in 2008 and produced until 2012. The engine uses twin, variable-geometry, water cooled turbochargers producing a thumping 523bhp and 500lb-ft of torque, leading to a maximum speed in excess of 210mph and a 0-60mph time of just 3.6 seconds! Essentially it’s a 997 Turbo with more power fed through the rear wheels only, a track orientated suspension and brake set up, and a GT3 interior. To be taken seriously.
The brake fluids were changed at each service.

The 911 Turbo, introduced in 1975 and remaining in production until 1989, was sufficiently different from previous versions to earn a new 930 model number. These were proper ‘Supercars’, amongst the fastest production cars available at the time, and are now felt by many to be the cars that defined the early eighties. Developed initially for homologation purposes, the turbocharged 911 was first seen at the 1973 Paris Auto Show as a pre-production prototype, essentially to gauge reaction, and went on sale a couple of years later as the 911 (930) Turbo. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS with the capacity increased to 3.0 litres and, of course, turbocharged using the vast amount of recent experience with forced air induction that Porsche had gained from their 917/30 Can-Am programme. Externally distinctive with its ‘Whale Tail’ rear spoiler, wide tyres, bulging wheel arches and macho stance, 930s were surprisingly civilised with air conditioning, electric windows, a leather interior, tinted glass, headlamp washers and Bilstein shock absorbers as standard. Turbolag was a bit of a problem with the early cars, and with 260 willing horses arriving, mostly at the same time, together with the 911’s characteristic handling, a scenic drive could quickly turn into a drive through the scenery. Ironically, however, the Turbo’s reputation for a being a bit edgy on the limit was the very quality that endeared it to a particular type of customer. ‘Bad boys’, racing drivers, and cool dudes lined up to purchase the new Porsche but the Turbo’s place on the list of alltime greats was secured when the undisputed ‘King of Cool’ Steve McQueen walked into the Porsche dealer in Beverley Hills and placed an order. His car was delivered in 1976 and our car offered here is just four chassis numbers after his and also resided in Beverley Hills, purchased by a prominent doctor in early 1976. Both cars may have passed on Mulholland Drive! This car is an early first-year US car and one of 526 US cars imported in 1976. Just 2,819 3-litre cars were built between 1975-1977, a fraction of the 18,770 3.3s that followed. Chad McQueen wrote an amusing anecdote recalling his father’s Porsche Turbo. History records that no one has ever been able to take out their parents’ prized car without being found out at some point in time, with varying consequences and the same was true for

Chad McQueen. “My dad called me, to let me know he’d be away for two more days. So the next morning, same routine, I fire up the car and head out. As I’m accelerating down the two-lane beach road I see a yellow taxi-cab closing in from the opposite direction. Inside that cab, I see two of the biggest blue eyes in the world. My dad was on his way home. I didn’t know whether to go to Mexico or what. I also discovered what happens when you lift off in a corner with a Turbo; it was like, ‘Holy S$$t’.” Finished in Copper Brown Metallic with a light Cork interior, this stunning early Porsche Turbo 3.0 has been restored to an exceptional level and can only be described as totally correct and sensational. The history file is complete and gives an exact timeline. The original doctor owner lived in Beverley Hills, his house belonged to the creator of the Richter Scale, and he kept the Porsche until 1999. The second owner, who lived in Oregon, kept it until 2012 and there are related invoices in the file whilst in his ownership. It was then sold to a German collector who added no mileage to the genuine 76,000 miles and subsequently it was purchased by our vendor who decided to return the car to its very best. He commissioned a full bare metal restoration by the respected Alsa Automotive of South Wales and the interior, which included a complete retrim in the correct Connolly hides and carpets including embossed rear seat backs, was entrusted to GB Trim of Nuneaton. Attention to detail, originality, and authenticity were the watchwords of this restoration and the results are simply spectacular. The huge owner’s file contains the original Bill of Sale, a period Sales Brochure, the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the stamped service book, and a volume of invoices. Pleasingly, the original toolkit is also present. An MOT test certificate was granted last month and a recent leak test provided excellent results. With all consumables renewed, this Turbo is absolutely ready to drive away. Early Porsche Turbos don’t come to the market with such provenance and in this condition...it’s the car that started the legend and is obviously highly collectable. Don’t let the car’s investment potential detract from the thrill of driving the ultimate ‘70s poster car. If Mr. McQueen was around now, I very much doubt that he would just leave it in the garage!

Porsche’s 911E of 1969 to 1973 replaced the short-lived 911L or ‘Luxury’ model. The ‘E’ was amongst the first cars to be built on the longer (2268mm) chassis and was designed to be the most comfortable and approachable of the 911 series. It was positioned between the tamer 911T or ‘Touring’ and the high-performance type 911S or ‘Super’ and the 911E’s designation derives from the German word for injection: ‘einspritzung’. Jointly developed by Bosch and Porsche, the mechanical fuel injection ‘MFI’ system used on the 911E and the 911S was similar to the system used in the Carrera 6 of 1966. In addition to giving more precise control of the fuel/air mixture and equality of distribution among the cylinders, the MFI contributed toward meeting the emissions control regulations of the time. Intended as the luxury model, the classic Porsche 911E came standard with the “comfort” package, which included ventilated brake discs with aluminum calipers, velour carpeting, a leather-covered steering wheel, heavy bumper rub strips and rubber guard inserts, chrome rocker-panel trim, and gold coloured script on the rear deck. A superb, early-supplied, 911E, this 1969 left-hand drive Targa was originally delivered new to New Jersey in 1969 and was to remain in the ownership of the same family for over 40 years, spending all of its life in a climate controlled garage in Nevada until the current custodian managed to beg, borrow and persistently pester the family for it to cross the pond.

showing this, however, being a stickler for detail, the current owner went about bringing this car back to its former glory on a noexpense-spared basis. Whilst very little bodywork needed attention, our vendor went about an obsessive engine rebuild, and a thorough recommissioning of the interior, mechanicals, electrics, seals etc. and all the little details that one notices, many years into ownership, yet sympathetically retaining the character of the car. The cost of the work on the engine bay alone was well in excess of £10,000, and it shows. The whole car presents wonderfully today in its original Burgundy and the Black Leatherette interior is excellent with immaculate carpets, leather, dashboard, and switchgear. The bodywork has been touched up recently and retains a good shine, and the panel gaps are straight and in good order. The car is UK-registered and is accompanied by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, an independent insurance valuation by Nick Faure (£105-£115,000), acres of invoices, and possibly the largest selection (over 300) of online pictures we have ever seen. There is not a nook or cranny that hasn’t been closely imaged and we urge you to have a look at https://petrolhead.smugmug.com/PorscheTarga-1969-911E-2litre/i-pkKLhjZ This is an absolutely splendid early 911E.

When Porsche introduced the 996 in 1998, it heralded a big departure from the timeless 911 concept, for not only was it radically different to its predecessor, but for the first time, a Porsche 911 was water-cooled. Stringent emissions/noise regulations, a higher expectation for refinement and a high-performance, 4-valves per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new platform topped with a sleeker body, a more raked windscreen, and a redesigned interior. The new car was far more practical too, with more space for touring, a roomier cabin and a structure that was 45% stiffer, yet despite all of this, the 996 was 50kg lighter than the outgoing model.

Currently indicating a modest 45,200 miles, the car boasts an excellent main dealer Porsche service history with 12 stamps in total, 9 from the supplying main dealer where the car was maintained annually for 9 years. Following this, the upkeep of this cossetted car has been the responsibility of the Porsche Centre Sutton Coldfield and latterly, in October 2016, the Porsche Centre East London. The car has recently undergone a ‘111-point Check’ with Renaissance Classic Sports Cars and any items that arose in the report were attended to. Just 2,000 miles ago, the car also benefitted from the fitting of a complete set of new Michelin Pilot Sport tyres and the alloys were refurbished at the same time.

1986 Porsche 911 Supersport (M491) 3.2 Carrera Coupé
Possibly the ultimate version of the 3.2 Carrera was an ‘Option M491 Turbo-Look’, or ‘Supersport’, as it later became known in the UK. Initially, Option M491 was only available on a coupé via the Special Wishes programme, but was later extended to include a Turbo-Look Targa and Cabriolet in 1985, then became an official model from 1986. From 1987, the designation was officially known as SSE (Supersport Equipment). ‘M491’ was not just a sop to the excesses of the 1980s, with flared arches evoking the appearance of some dramatic Porsche models from the past, but was a popular option offering the ‘macho’ good looks of the Turbo without the mechanical complexities. However, it was not cheap, adding over £10,000 to the cost of a standard variant by the end of the model’s life in 1989, possibly explaining the relatively small build numbers. The spec also included a limited slip differential, the stiffer suspension and superior braking system from the 930 Turbo, a wrap-around deep chin-spoiler, the famous ‘tea-tray’ rear spoiler, and wider Fuchs alloy wheels. The rarity of M491/Supersport models is undeniable, especially in right-hand drive, but official figures are hard to come by. A respected source quotes that just 651 C16 (UKsupplied) M491 cars (including all Coupés, Targas and Cabriolets) were manufactured between 1984 and 1989.

We are assured that all this maintenance means the car drives and performs very well, negating somewhat its current documented mileage of 152,000. Indeed, the car’s current MOT test certificate valid until July 2018 shows no advisories. This car still has lots to give thanks to its dutiful ownership history. This is a real opportunity to join an illustrious group of ‘Supersport’ owners at a very accessible guide price. With prices for the standard 3.2 Carreras on the march, securing a rare and desirable example such as this, while you still can, may well be one of your better decisions.

This right-hand drive 924 Carrera GT was originally delivered by Dick Lovett, Swindon in April 1981 and stored by them until August of that year in order to receive an ‘X’ registration. A copy of the original bill of sale and various correspondence document the early history between the first owner and the supplying UK dealer. The car was maintained by Dick Lovett during its early life and was sold by them in 1983, 1988, 1990 and then in 1996 to the current owner. During his ownership, this Carrera GT has been maintained by specialists including noted Porsche experts Paragon Porsche in Kent. The original service book is full of stamps and an almost complete set of MOT test certificates substantiate a total mileage of just over 75,000 miles from new.

Porsche wanted to enter the ‘Group 4’ Sports Car Class for Le Mans in 1980 and based their car on their successful 924 mainstream model. All non-essential elements were removed from the car in an effort to reduce weight. The vehicle was subsequently entered into the gruelling 24 Hours of Le Mans but, in order to comply with homologation regulations, a number of road-going versions had to be produced and Porsche addressed this rule with the Carrera GT. Standard specification included a close ratio, dog-leg, 5-speed G/box, LSD, Bilstein shock absorbers, polyurethane plastic front and rear flared guards, a polyurethane plastic front spoiler, and a bonnet-mounted air scoop for the intercooler. With a 2-litre turbocharged engine producing 210bhp, it would reach a top speed of 150mph and hit 60mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds.

It has seen limited miles in the past decade but has been serviced annually regardless. The cam belt was last changed in 2008 at a 73,371 by Paragon. Receipts of around £20,000 from the last 12 months are available for inspection. Evidently, this 924 Carrera has been continually maintained to a high mechanical standard over the years and is an honest example of an extremely rare Porsche. Only 75 right-hand drive examples were ever made for the UK market and these delightful driver’s cars are seemingly undervalued given their desirable status as the ultimate 924. We love the Carrera GT and welcome any inspection of this unmolested example.

Critics immediately recognised the advances the 928 had made over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious longdistance grand touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever ‘Weissach’ rear axle that kept the car firmly planted on the road. Many testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928’s grip. If the 928 attracted any criticism at all, it was that it wasn’t quite quick enough. The original 4.4-litre engine generated 240bhp but, mated to a relatively heavy car, the performance didn’t match the 911. So Porsche introduced the 928 S fitted with a 4.7-litre version of the engine and generating 310bhp. This began to deliver the car’s true potential, achieving a 0-60mph time of around 7.0 seconds. But the larger engine’s real trump card was its torque-rich in-gear acceleration around the mid-range – 50-70mph sprints or indeed any acceleration from 3,000rpm is in the supercar league. Offered here is a lovely example of a Porsche 928 S that has covered only 51,000 miles with an interesting history. Originally built to UK C16 specification, it was exported to Hong Kong under the factory ‘tourist scheme’ for Sir John Bond who was CEO of HSBC

The second owner was Mary Jo Jacobi who was MD of Lehman Brothers Europe and was living in London. The history file contains various communications both with Porsche and the Hong Kong dealer initially covering the delivery that confirms its HK registration and the relevant procedures that allow this car to be re-imported tax-free. Any potential buyer should assure himself that it is indeed the case with the relevant authorities. The history file contains records of the subsequent owners and many older MOT test certificates. Finished in Metallic Silver with a black leather interior and cream carpets, the Porsche’s original specification included an electric sunroof, automatic transmission, passenger door mirror, and leather storage box in the rear. In January 2017 the engine was stripped and rebuilt by ‘928 Spares’ of Stroud. With comparatively low mileage and professional ownership, this 928 S has stood the test of time well. It presents well with a lovely interior and a very tidy engine bay and sits exactly as it should. All in all a really good example of these Grand Tourers that continue to gain momentum in the market.

For 1970, the C-Series 911 was introduced with a larger bore to give a capacity of 2165cc, producing 125bhp and now badged as a ‘T’. Alterations to suspension points improved the handling and gave the steering a better on-centre feel. This 1971 left-hand drive 911 T was imported by our vendor in 2005 from California and has been in his ownership ever since. The Porsche Certificate of Authenticity shows the original color combination as ‘Gemini Blue Metallic with a black leather interior’ and was ordered with comfort equipment, sunroof, coloured windows, and alloy wheels.

Introduced at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show, the basic Porsche 911 design would run virtually unchanged for 29 years. Ferdinand Porsche had been working on the design since the late ‘50s as a better performing replacement for the 356. Today, his design still underpins the production of Porsche AG of Stuttgart. Before long, the merits of using the Porsche 911 in competitive motorsport became apparent and history records it as one of the most successful campaigners of all time. From the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to grass-roots motorsport, the 911 offered reliable performance in many guises.

Our vendor has spent around £9,500 on the car during his ownership and there are receipts for the various works carried out in the history file along with some older MOT test certificates. Unfortunately, any history prior to our vendor’s purchase has been lost. We understand that the first MOT certificate during his tenure from 2005 shows a mileage of 7,935 (probably having been around the clock) and the indicated mileage is now 14,089, so he has only completed around 500 miles a year in the vehicle. The vendor has also replaced the front and rear bumpers with period 911 ‘S’ style, which really suits the car and treated it to a respray in its original Gemini Blue. The car has always been garaged whilst residing on these shores and this lovely old 911 appears to be in a good honest condition throughout. The pure unadorned, unfettered, unmolested lines of early 911s are iconic in the proper sense of the word, and it’s easy to see why these cars really set the benchmark in sports car design in the late ‘60s.

The 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiasts. It is also widely said to be the last of the 911s that were built whilst engineering integrity overruled accounting pressures at Porsche. Twenty-three years on, it still looks modern, a truly timeless design. This delightful example was registered by Evans Halshaw Porsche Centre as, we presume, a dealer demonstrator on the 19th December 1996 and delivered in Zenith Blue Metallic with Tiptronic S automatic transmission, a glass Targa roof, pleated front and rear seats in Marble Grey leather, and lowered suspension. Bought by our vendor’s son on 27th January 2006, the car was transferred to our vendor’s name, Gwyn Jones, on 1st April 2012. Gwyn had a vehicle repair and maintenance business for over 40 years in North Wales and naturally serviced and maintained the Porsche to his exacting standards since it had become part of the family in 2006.

With an engine based on that of the 930 Turbo, the SC was a real gem with a strong reliable drivetrain. The 2994cc engine produced 180bhp at launch, rising to 188bhp in 1979 and then, just one year later, to 204bhp – only 6hp shy of the output of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS! It used the same strong 5-speed 915-series gearbox as its predecessors but was the first 911 to feature servo-assisted brakes. The SC was offered as a Coupé, Targa and, in late 1982 (for the ‘83 model year), as a Cabriolet. These were very capable cars, accelerating from 0-60mph in around six seconds and reaching a top speed of close to 150mph and were offered with several options, including the classic Fuchs alloy wheels. However, as time passed and the 911 evolved further, these

The arrival of the 3.0-litre 911 SC in the 1978 model lineup brought some semblance of order to the Porsche range after the midseventies. The middle of this decade was a period epitomised by the once-maligned ‘impact or big bumper’ models, and when launched, the SC looked modern, clean and fresh in comparison to the dated overall appearance of the original 911, now over a decade old. With new and innovative design features like the reflective red strip between the tail-lights with PORSCHE capitalised across it, the ‘78 cars looked altogether sharper.

models started to be less desirable, resulting in them becoming a very easy route into first time Porsche ownership and were not necessarily looked after properly by their impecunious new owners. Today, with the benefit of hindsight, they are seen as being properly engineered sports cars that drive well with the classic look and feel of an era that is now rightly back in fashion. Offered in beautiful Chiffon White with the desirable Targa roof, this 911 SC is an original right-hand drive car that has been in current private ownership for the past 14 years. Our vendor recently decided, for cosmetic purposes, to paint the car and as a result spent over £5,000 using specialist water-based paint, and the results are superb. There is an invoice in the history file detailing the work carried out. Accompanying the aforementioned invoice, the car is also supplied with its Service Record and driver’s manual, stereo manual, and a number of invoices and older MOT test certificates from various points in its life. A stainless steel straight through ‘Dansk’ exhaust system is also fitted and the car now shows just over 85,000 miles on the odometer. This is a true driver’s car that should provide many more thousand miles of Porsche motoring.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final cars (before being replaced by the more complicated 964) were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche’s original design. Launched in 1984, and reviving the ‘Carrera’ name for the first time since 1977, these were the ultimate 1980s sports cars. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971, received a final stretch to 3,164cc, giving a torque-rich 231bhp – enough to propel the lithe and slippery coupé to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onwards were fitted with the more user-friendly G50 Getrag gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanised bodies, which together with Porsche’s legendary build quality, ensure that these classics are long-lasting.
In 2014, the engine was treated to a top-end rebuild (receipt in history file). It was also fitted with new rear wheel bearings, new rear brakes (including handbrake mechanism) and Goodyear Eagle tyres, and the invoice for all of this was around £9,000. During 2016, the car was subject to comprehensive work by Clark and Carter of Braintree, the well-known restorer of desirable cars and the history file contains a complete list of components used and the relevant workshop sheets detailing everything that was done to ensure that this pretty Carrera presents in the best possible condition. All in all, this is a very useable and desirable 5-speed 911 3.2 Coupé in a lovely colour combination.
Offered here is an original UK, right-hand drive 911 3.2 Carrera Sport Coupé. Interestingly, it was manufactured in October 1986 (for the 1987 model year), so was one of the first cars to be fitted with the desirable 5-speed G50 gearbox. Correspondingly, there is a series H in the VIN number and the Drivers’ Manual contains a short addendum to cover the 1987 model year. It was delivered new to Jersey (via Porsche Cars, Fine Oaks) where it led a pampered and unstressed life before returning to the mainland in 1989. It’s finished in the delightful colour combination of Lagoon Metallic (L35Y), complemented by a full Dark Tan leather interior, and is a standard factory ‘Sport’ model with Fuchs alloys, front and rear spoilers, electric pack, sports seats and a sunroof. It’s covered 108,597 miles, which is backed up by a comprehensively stamped service interval book (work done by main dealers and marque specialists) and many old MOT certificates. This car has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, in very good condition. Only a few years ago (at 98,282 miles) it was fitted with a complete stainless steel exhaust system, including heat exchangers, fittings, and gaskets etc.

They also had a comprehensive equipment level as standard including painted wheel centres, sunroof, electric seats, short-shift gear lever, sports suspension, and the luxury carpet option. Being produced in 1988, it means this car has the more user-friendly, G50 5-speed gearbox.

Porsche’s intended replacement for the 911 may not have achieved that particular goal, but it wasn’t for a lack of performance or technological wizardry. An alloy V8 was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers – pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy, but dull, family hatchbacks.
This, right-hand drive, UK-supplied Porsche 928 GT with a 5-speed manual gearbox was first registered on 13th February 1990. Now bearing registration G96 ADL it was purchased by our vendor’s father to convert into a track-day car. As a result, the old interior has been stripped out and in its place, he has fitted a bolt-in roll cage, Sparco bucket seats, and a set of Schroth harnesses. The car was fully resprayed in Grand Prix White and the wheels painted Red to give it a ‘Clubsport’ look.
Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest ‘GT’ cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Porsche continuously developed their range-topper throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987, which differed slightly from the earlier Series cars with its smoothed-off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment and a 5-litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp and with improved low-end pulling power. The 928 S4 was an even greater technical ‘tour de force’ than before.
The perfect candidate for further track days or even a possible entrant into the CSCC ‘Modern Classics’ series if the safety equipment were to be renewed, this car is MOT tested until 31st August 2018 and is supplied with a UK V5C. Representing superb value at today’s guide, we urge all budding track enthusiasts to come and view this 928 GT in person.

You may wish to leave a commission bid to be used in the event that we are unable to contact you. This, however, is entirely optional.

To submit a commission bid, please complete our Telephone/Commission Bidder Registration form indicating, for each lot you wish to bid on, the maximum amount you are willing to bid up to (excluding commission and VAT).

Catalogues Catalogues can be purchased online or by contacting our catalogue subscription department on +44 (0)1926 691 141. Please ensure that you bring your catalogue to the sale as entry is by catalogue only. Whilst your Silverstone Auctions Catalogue admits two persons to the viewing day(s) and the sale day, please refer to any specific Admission tickets that maybe required to enter the Event. Further copies of the catalogue can be purchased at the Auction.
Warranties All lots are sold on an ‘as seen’ basis. You may wish to bring a competent mechanic with you to inspect any Motor Vehicles on your behalf. The catalogue will describe the lots to the best of our ability on information supplied. You should, however, satisfy yourself as to the condition, age, and integrity of any lot prior to bidding as no warranties whatsoever are given in relation to any lot. Once the auctioneer drops the hammer, a contract is made and you are obligated to proceed with the purchase. It is therefore vital that you are satisfied with the condition of the lot you intend to bid upon before doing so.
Charges
Like the vast majority of auctioneers, Silverstone Auctions Limited charge what is known as a buyer’s premium. Our standard buyer’s premium charges are 12.5% of the hammer price on motor vehicles (cars and motorcycles) and 20% of the hammer price for watches, automobila and lifestyle items. Buyer’s premium is subject to VAT at the prevailing rate on the day of the auction.

Terms and Conditions GENERAL
as principal) or the Buyer.
The following Terms (“Terms”) together with such other terms, conditions and notices as may be set out in any relevant catalogue apply to all sales by Silverstone Auctions Limited (“SAL”) at auction or within 14 days after the auction. No alteration to the Terms will be binding unless accepted by SAL in writing. The Terms may be amended by SAL provided it is reasonable for it to do so by the posting of notices or by oral announcement made by the Auctioneer prior to or during the sale. Nothing in the Terms shall affect the statutory rights of a consumer. Additional information applicable to the Auction may be set out in the Catalogue for the Sale, in an insert in the Catalogue and/or in a notice displayed on the Lot or visible elsewhere. Verbal announcements affecting the Auction may be made before and during the bidding. Buyers should be alert to this possibility of changes especially if bidding otherwise than in person at the Auction. SAL acts solely for and in the interests of the Seller. SAL’s duty is to sell the Lot at the highest price obtainable at the Auction to a Buyer. SAL does not act for Buyers in this role and does not give advice to Buyers. When SAL or its employees make statements about a Lot it is doing so as agent for the Seller of the Lot. Buyers who are themselves not expert in the Lots are strongly advised to seek and obtain independent advice on the Lots and their value before bidding for them.
3. Discretion 3.1 SAL has the right as its sole discretion to refuse any bid, to divide any Lot, to combine two or more Lots, to withdraw any Lot and, in the case of dispute, to put any Lot up for Auction again. 3.2 If SAL is notified about the Seller’s alleged breach of any of the Terms before it has remitted the Sale Proceeds to the Seller, it may at its sole discretion withhold payment until that dispute is resolved. SAL may, however, deduct any sums that are due to it from the sum held.
DEFINITIONS 1. In these Terms: 1.1 “Auction” means the auction sale in respect of which a Lot is consigned for sale. 1.2 “Auctioneer” means the representative of SAL conducting the Auction. 1.3 “Automobilia” means any memorabilia including but not limited to trophies, badges, programmes, models, prints and other collectables. 1.4 “Buyer” means the only person whose bid is accepted by SAL to conclude the contract for the purchase of a Lot. 1.5 “Buyer’s Premium” means the amount payable by the Buyer to SAL. Buyer’s premium on motor vehicles is 15% including VAT at 20% and on automobilia is 24% including VAT at 20%. 1.6 “Catalogue” the catalogue relating to the relevant Auction includes any advertisement, brochure, estimate, price list or other publication or webpage relating to one or more Lots. 1.7 “Contract” means the agreement between the Buyer and the Seller on the successful bid of the Buyer on which the Lot is knocked down to them. 1.8 “Entry Fee” means the sum of £300 (inclusive of VAT) per motorcar, £150 (inclusive of VAT) per motorcycle and £30 (inclusive of VAT) per automobilia item, payable by the Seller for each Lot entered into the Auction. For cars currently in the UK where the auction is overseas, the entry fee is £600 (inclusive of VAT) to include transport to the auction location. 1.9 “Expenses” in relation to the sale of any Lot means SAL’s charges and expenses payable by the Seller in addition to the Seller’s Commission including insurance, storage, illustrations, auction Entry Fee, cleaning costs, photography costs, catalogue costs, special advertising, packing and freight of that Lot and any VAT thereon. 1.10 “Hammer Price” means the price in pounds sterling at which a Lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the Buyer. 1.11 “Lot” means any item(s) consigned to SAL with the view to its or their sale at Auction. 1.12 “Motor Vehicle” means any car or motorbike included or proposed to be included in a sale of motor vehicles together with spares, tools, documentation etc. stated as being part of the Lot. 1.13 “Purchase Price” means the Hammer Price together with the Buyer’s Premium and any additional charges due plus VAT. 1.14 “Reserve” means the minimum Hammer Price agreed between SAL and the Seller at which a Lot may be sold. 1.15 “Sale Proceeds” means the net amount due to the Seller being the Hammer Price less the Seller’s Commission and VAT, Expenses and any other amount due to SAL from the Seller. 1.16 “Seller” means the person who offers the Lot for sale, whether as agent or principal. 1.17 “Seller’s Commission” shall have the meaning given in clause 10. 1.18 “VAT” means Value Added Tax applicable at the prevailing rate from time to time. 1.19 “Working Day” means any day (other than a Saturday and Sunday) at which clearing banks in the city of London are open for the transaction of normal sterling banking business. 2. Agent SAL sells as agent for the Seller (except where SAL is selling as principal, which SAL will disclose in the Catalogue or otherwise in the Auction). The Contract for the sale of a Lot is between the Seller and the Buyer. SAL shall not be liable for any act or default by the Seller (except where selling

4. Loss or injury SAL shall be under no liability for any injury, damage or loss sustained by any person while on SAL’s premises (including any premises where a sale may be conducted or where a Lot, or part of a Lot, may be on view from time to time) except for death or personal injury, damage or loss caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL. 5. Lots 5.1 The Catalogue contains details about each Lot. The description printed in the Catalogue is given on behalf of the Seller, from information supplied by the Seller for which SAL is not responsible. 5.2 Photographs, Illustrations and diagrams contained in the Catalogue are for identification purposes only. They may not show the true condition and colour, (which may be inaccurately reproduced) of the Lot. 5.3 Lots are available for inspection prior to the Sale and it is for any potential bidder to satisfy themselves as to each and every aspect of a Lot, including its originality, authorship, condition, provenance, history, background, authenticity, style, period, age, suitability, quality, roadworthiness (if relevant), origin, value and estimated selling price (including the Hammer Price). No description of a lot carries with it an implication that it is fit for any particular purpose. 5.4 Each Lot is sold by its respective Seller to the Buyer. Lots are sold to the Buyer on an ‘as is’ basis, with all faults and imperfections. 5.5 The actual condition of a Lot may not be as good as its outward appearance suggests. In particular parts may have been replaced or renewed and those parts may not be original or of ‘Satisfactory Quality’. The inside of a lot may not be visible where, for example, it is covered by upholstery or material, and may not be original or may be damaged, have been damaged or poorly repaired. Given the age of some Lots, no assumption should be made with regard to any aspect of their condition. 5.6 Any person who physically interferes with, scratches or damages the Lot in any way (at, before or after the Auction) will be held liable for the loss so caused. 5.7 The Seller is responsible for delivering the Lot in a presentable and saleable condition. If additional cleaning is required it will be charged for by SAL to the Seller as an Expense. 5.8 If a Lot is not sold at Auction, SAL will for the next 14 days be entitled exclusively to negotiate a sale of the Lot on terms agreed with the Seller and as Seller’s agent, and if successful will be entitled to charge the Seller’s Commission and Expenses. 5.9.1 The Seller gives SAL the full and absolute right to photograph and illustrate any Lot consigned for sale, and to use such photographs and illustrations as are provided by the Seller at any time at its absolute discretion (whether or not in connection with the Auction), with indemnity against copyright infringement. 5.9.2 The copyright in all written matter and illustrations relating to Lots shall remain at all times the absolute property of SAL, and any person wishing to use such materials, or any part of them, may only do so with the prior written consent of SAL. 5.10 Lots marked with an asterisk (*) are either owned or partly-owned by SAL or an employee of SAL. 6. Alterations and Estimates 6.1 Estimates and descriptions may be amended at SAL’s discretion from time to time by notice given orally or in writing before or during an Auction. 6.2 The Lot is available for inspection and any potential bidders must form their own opinion in relation to it. They are strongly advised to examine any Lot or have it examined by a specialist or engineer on their behalf before the Auction. 6.3 SAL gives no warranty or representation as to the anticipated or likely selling price of any Lot. Any estimate given, whether written or oral and whether or not printed in any Catalogue, as to the estimated selling price of any Lot is a statement of opinion only and may be subject to revision from time to time at SAL’s sole discretion and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual selling price. 6.4 SAL shall not be liable to the Seller for any error or misstatement in or omission from the description of any lot in any Catalogue where SAL has: 6.4.1 been provided with such description by the Seller or any person on
www.silverstoneauctions.com
his behalf; or 6.4.2 provided the Seller with a copy of such description prior to publication of the Catalogue and neither the Seller nor any person on his behalf has notified SAL in writing within a reasonable time before the Auction of any error or misstatement in or omission from the description. 6.5 SAL has no duty to the Seller or the Buyer to investigate the accuracy of the description of any Lot provided by or on behalf of the Seller. 7. Warranty by the Seller 7.1 The Seller warrants to the Buyer and to SAL that: 7.1.1 The Seller is the owner of the Lot or is properly authorised to sell the Lot by the owner, and is able to sell the Lot with full title guarantee free from all encumbrances and third party claims and in particular that there is no outstanding finance affecting the Lot or any taxes due. If the car is subject to finance the amount outstanding must be confirmed prior to consignment and sale. 7.1.2 The description of the Lot in the Catalogue is to the best of the Seller’s knowledge accurate and not misleading. The Seller has notified (or will before the Auction notify) SAL in writing of any material alterations to the Lot of which the Seller is aware and of any concerns expressed by third parties in relation to the authenticity, provenance, origin, age, condition or quality of the Lot and has provided SAL with all such information in the Seller’s possession or control. 7.1.3 The Seller shall compensate SAL and the Buyer in full for all losses, expenses and other costs that are caused by the Seller’s breach of any obligation of the Seller under the Terms. 7.1.4 Where the vehicle is not registered in the UK, the seller shall be responsible for completing the NOVA application within 14 days of the car arriving in the UK and before the vehicle arrives at the auction for sale. 8. Vehicle Registration Numbers 8.1 If the Seller wishes to sell the Motor Vehicle but to retain the right to the registration number of the Motor Vehicle it is the Seller’s Responsibility to notify SAL in writing. 8.2 It shall be the Seller’s responsibility to take all necessary steps to ensure that the current vehicle registration number is retained and that a new number is allocated prior to the Motor Vehicle being sold at the Auction whether or not SAL volunteers its services to effect that, and no liability shall attach to SAL in respect to any act or omission as a result. 9. Bidding and Reserves 9.1 Admission to the Auction requires the purchase of a Catalogue which must be presented at the entrance to the Auction. SAL do not accept bids from any person who has not completed and submitted a registration form. Proof of identification will be required in the form of a passport or driver’s licence, together with a recent utility bill showing a bidder’s current address, before the registration process can be completed. 9.2 The Auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the Seller, up to the Reserve on the Lot. 9.3 The Seller may place a Reserve on any Lot when he consigns it to the Auction, and once placed it may not be changed without the written consent of SAL. All Lots will be sold without Reserve unless a Reserve has been agreed by SAL in writing. 9.4 Where a Reserve has been agreed, only SAL at its absolute discretion may bid on behalf of the Seller. 9.5 If no Reserve has been placed on a Lot, SAL shall in no way be held liable should the Lot be purchased for a price below any lowest estimated selling price of the Lot given in any Catalogue. 9.6 SAL may sell a Lot below the Reserve agreed with the Seller, provided that SAL accounts to the Seller for the same Sale Proceeds as the Seller would have received had the Lot been sold at that Reserve. 10. Commission and Expenses 10.1 SAL shall be entitled to deduct from the Hammer Price and retain an amount equal to 5% of the Hammer Price for vehicles and 15% for automobilia and lifestyle goods or such other sum agreed by SAL in writing (“Seller’s Commission”) plus VAT together with Expenses and any other sums due from the Seller to SAL. 10.2 The Seller acknowledges SAL’s right to retain the Buyer’s Premium payable by the Buyer. 11. Insurance 11.1 Only on payment of the Purchase Price in cleared funds shall title in the Lot pass from the Seller to the Buyer. However, the risk in the Lot passes to the Buyer on the fall of the hammer. It is therefore, the responsibility of the Seller to insure the Lot before the hammer falls and the responsibility of the Buyer to insure the Lot after the hammer falls. 11.2 SAL will not be responsible for any damage to or the loss or destruction of a Lot unless caused by the negligence of or other breach of duty by SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL and the Seller shall compensate SAL in full in respect of all other claims and proceedings brought against SAL in respect of any loss or damage to or destruction of the Lot. 11.3 SAL will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Seller’s negligence of SAL, its employees or agents in the ordinary course of their duties to SAL. The Seller shall compensate SAL in full in respect of all claims and proceedings brought against SAL in respect of injury, loss or damage caused by any Lot or by the Seller’s

Payment of Sale Proceeds 12.1 Subject to SAL’s right of retention under Clause 3.2 and other provisions of this Clause 12, SAL shall pay the Sale Proceeds to the Seller not later than 14 Working Days after the Auction provided that the Purchase Price has been received in full by SAL. Unless an alternative method of payment has been agreed by SAL in writing, payment shall be made by telegraphic transfer. In the event of an unsettled hire purchase, finance agreement or any other charge or lien affecting the Lot, SAL reserves the right to settle the amount due of such charges not exceeding the Sale Proceeds and if the Sale Proceeds are less than the charges outstanding, the Seller will be responsible for the settlement of the balance forthwith. 12.2 If the Purchase Price has not been received in full by SAL within the time specified in clause 12.1 SAL will pay the Sale Proceeds to the Seller within seven Working Days from when the Purchase Price is received in cleared funds from the Buyer. 12.3 In respect of road registered Motor Vehicles, SAL reserves the right not to remit the Sale Proceeds to the Seller unless the Seller has deposited with SAL the registration document of the Motor Vehicle, and any other documents relating to the Motor Vehicle in the Seller’s possession or control which he agreed with SAL to supply. 12.4 If the Buyer fails to pay the Purchase Price within 28 days of the Auction, SAL will notify the Seller who may instruct SAL as to the appropriate course of action. SAL may endeavour to assist the Seller but SAL shall be under no obligation to do so, and shall not be under any obligation to institute proceedings in its own name. 12.5 In the absence of any written instructions from the Seller to SAL within 7 days of SAL having notified the Seller under clause 12.4 SAL shall be entitled to take any of the actions set out in clause 19. 12.6 Any monies recovered by and paid to SAL in consequences of SAL taking one or more of the steps referred to in clause 19 shall be applied to the payment of: 12.6.1 legal or other costs incurred by SAL in connection with such steps. 12.6.2 Expenses; 12.6.3 the Buyer’s Premium and the Seller’s Commission on the sale of the Lot; 12.6.4 any balance remaining shall be paid to SAL to the Seller (or, if appropriate, the Buyer). If there shall be a shortfall any such shortfall shall be made good by the Seller to SAL on demand. 12.7 If within 7 days after receipt of the notice referred to in clause 12.5 the Seller informs SAL that he wishes re-delivery of the Lot, he shall be entitled to do so but only upon prior payment of all Expenses and all legal and other costs reasonably incurred by SAL so as to keep SAL fully recompensed. 13. Withdrawal Fees 13.1. The Seller may by notice in writing to SAL withdraw the Lot from the Auction. In the event of such withdrawal, the Seller shall within 14 days of withdrawal pay SAL the sums set out in this Condition 13.

The estimated value shall be the higher of:(a) The Seller’s estimate of value as previously notified to SAL or, if more than one figure, the highest figure or if none; (b) The value estimated in the Catalogue, or if more than one figure is given, the highest figure; (c) If none of the above apply such figure as SAL shall reasonably estimate as the value. (d) Plus in each case VAT on such fee and Expenses. 13.3. In the event that the Lot is withdrawn from the Auction after the publication of the Auction catalogue, the Seller shall in addition to the sum set out in Condition 13.2, be liable to pay SAL a further sum equal to the Buyer’s Premium that would have been payable upon the Lot realising the aforesaid estimated value at Auction, plus VAT. 13.4. In the event that the Seller withdraws the Lot from the Auction, the Seller shall arrange for collection and removal of the Lot at his own expense within two working days after the date of withdrawal provided that the Seller may not collect the Lot unless and until any withdrawal fee payable under Conditions 13.2 and 13.3 shall have been paid in full. 14. Removal and Storage 14.1 The Seller shall arrange for the removal of any unsold Lot and the Buyer for the removal of purchased lots by the time specified in the vendor delivery instructions and key sale information in the auction catalogue and displayed on notices at the auction venue or by other such time as agreed by SAL. 14.2 Failure to remove Lots pursuant to clause 14.1 above will entitle SAL to charge the Seller or Buyer a removal charge, storage fees, insurance and other expenses and any costs incurred at the following rates: Motor Vehicle: Removal - £150 plus VAT Storage - £10 per day plus VAT
