1984 Porsche 911 'RS Tribute'

1984 Porsche 911 'RS Tribute'

Lot # 226 (Sale Order: 26 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1984Registration: A43 DUXChassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZES102925Engine Number: 63E05342Engine - Displacement: 3164Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 58000 - 64000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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. This 'Tribute' car presented here pays homage to the legendary 1973 2.7 RS, echoing that famous silhouette very well. This car was recently professionally built by a well-respected Porsche specialist and has covered just over 100 miles since completion. It utilised a C16, RHD 1984 3.2 Carrera Coupé; as its starting point, this being a healthy well-serviced example with a decent history file containing numerous invoices and MOT certificates documenting its conservative mileage. This striking car, now reborn, looks just right in the classic combination of Grand Prix White with Guards Red decals, wearing period Fuchs alloy wheels with Bridgestone Porsche N-rated tyres. All panels are period correct, having been sourced from Porsche, including new front wings, bonnet, front slam panel, sills, kidney bowls, rear quarters, fuel tank, and bumpers. All body seals are also new. The suspension has been rejuvenated with new dampers and new Powerflex bushes as well as new engine and gearbox mounts. Uprated drilled sports discs have been fitted along with new calipers, uprated steel braided brake lines, and new wheel bearings. The 3.2-litre engine has been comprehensively stripped down and rebuilt with new bearings, piston rings, chains, chain guides, chain tensioners, valve guides, and gaskets throughout. Additionally, the car was treated to an air induction kit, a brand-new starter motor and a custom stainless-steel exhaust and heat exchangers. The 915 gearbox has been fully rebuilt with new synchro rings, dog teeth, a WEVO conversion with a proper gearbox gate shifter system, along with a WEVO short shifter and PSJ precision coupler, and now feels like a G50 box! A new clutch and flywheel have been fitted and all gear linkage bushes have been replaced. New brake lines, fuel lines and oil return lines throughout, engine tinware, cam covers, cooling fan, oil cooler, oil tank and oil thermostat. The suspension components have been powder coated. All screws, piping, nuts and bolts have been replaced throughout the car with factory parts. The interior hasn't missed out with many brand-new parts and materials including the headlining, RS Perlon carpets throughout, Prototipo Steering Wheel, red 3-point seat belts along with 6-point race harnesses, Recaro race seats, RS door-cards, Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and white dial faces. Included with the car are the manuals, a new factory service book, a replica period toolkit, a brand new factory jack, plus two new keys. Offered with the car is a free running-in service by its creators. If, like most of us, an original 1973 2.7 RS is a tad outside the budget, this superb 'homage' must surely be the next best thing.

1962 Porsche 356B 'Super 90' Cabriolet

1962 Porsche 356B 'Super 90' Cabriolet

Lot # 227 (Sale Order: 27 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1962Registration: 963 NMEChassis Number: 155621Engine Number: 802720Engine - Displacement: 1582Cylinders: 4-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 165000 - 185000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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 1000 km 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 Kings 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 correct-specification 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 on the odometer. With 356 Speedsters now commanding premium prices, this equally elegant and rare open-top Porsche looks like an attractive proposition.

1992 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Cabriolet 'Turbo-Look'

1992 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Cabriolet 'Turbo-Look'

Lot # 228 (Sale Order: 28 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1992Registration: J513 WOCChassis Number: WP0ZZZ96ZNS451208Engine - Displacement: 3600ccEngine Number: 62N51869Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 65000 - 75000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
When the 964 was first brought to market, Porsche was 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, 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 50 mph 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. 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 eye-watering £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. It's finished in Midnight Blue and the coachwork retains a deep shine with tight shut lines. The interior also looks fabulous in Ivory leather piped in dark blue. Showing just 54,444mls at the time of cataloguing, the car has clearly lived a cosseted life with the service book showing an impressive 18 stamps the most recent of which was on 06/09/2017. This particular service was a major one and included an interior refurbishment along with 2 new rear tyres which in total cost £4,540. Present with the car is the original book pack and service book along with some invoices showing work undertaken on the car. Recently benefiting from much expenditure this car presents superbly and is in excellent condition all round. A truly rare Porsche model that is eminently usable and very collectable.

1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GT

1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GT

Lot # 229 (Sale Order: 29 of 59)      

Make: PorscheModel: Carrera GTYear: 1981Registration: SLH 979WChassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZBN700414Engine Number: 31500425Engine - Displacement: 1984ccCylinders: 4-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 30000 - 35000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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 210 bhp, it would reach a top speed of 150 mph and hit 60 mph in an impressive 6.5 seconds. This is a right-hand drive 924 Carrera GT that was originally purchased from AFN by Chris Morrison, who perhaps is best known for managing Blur, Thin Lizzy, and Ultravox. The car was stored for 20 years prior to its recent recommission by Laranca Engineering in Earlswood and there are invoices in the file for recent work carried out amounting to over £12,000. The engine was removed and stripped for a full check over and was found to be in excellent order. There is a large history file containing the original purchase invoice and showing all subsequent owners and service records. Also in the owner's file are invoices from Intaporsche who repaired the car after it was declared an uneconomic repair in 1989 when it suffered n/s front-end damage in a collision. Parts were very hard to come by at that time and after the repair, the car was further used until 1997 when it then went into storage for the following 20 years. Now showing just over 87,000 miles with an MOT, this is a very rare car that should not be missed by any discerning Porsche collector.

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Supersports Targa

1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Supersports Targa

Lot # 230 (Sale Order: 30 of 59)      

Make: PorscheModel: 911Year: 1987Registration: D122 LMGChassis Number: WP0ZZZ91ZHS140387Engine - Displacement: 3164CCEngine Number: 63H01200Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 48000 - 54000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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" program, 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 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 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 Coupé;s, Targas and Cabriolets) were manufactured between 1984 and 1989. 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. Supersport and M491 cars are fast becoming some of the most collectable of the 'G series' era 911s and this rare Targa model is an eminently usable and very desirable example.

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 re-profiled and raised slightly to make room for the intercooler assembly, and this meant saying goodbye to the 'whale-tail' and welcoming the equally distinctive 'tea-tray'. By cooling the pressurised air charge, power was increased from 260bhp to 300bhp, bringing the 0-60 mph 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. The car presented here is a 1981 930 and is a C16 (UK-supplied) matching-numbers example, having been owned by our vendor for the last 30 years. 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. 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. In 2011, the car was treated to a full respray in its original colour of Grand Prix White, taking the opportunity to address some minor bodywork issues at the same time returning the car to full health. Such was its super condition that, in 2014, it was selected to feature in '911 & Porsche World' magazine, with a glowing write-up. Finding such a well-maintained and consequently healthy 930 is hard enough, but one which 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.

2000 Porsche 911 (996) GT3

2000 Porsche 911 (996) GT3

Lot # 232 (Sale Order: 32 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 2000Registration: W44 GTRChassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZYS691156Engine - Displacement: 3596Engine Number: 63Y01614Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 60000 - 65000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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 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 grey-haired 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.

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo S

Lot # 233 (Sale Order: 33 of 59)      

Make: PorscheModel: 944 Turbo SYear: 1988Registration: F356 JNXChassis Number: WP0ZZZ95ZJN101792Engine Number: 47J01596Engine - Displacement: 2479Cylinders: 4-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 15000 - 20000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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" 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 1980's classic Porsche and these limited edition models are much sought-after by marque enthusiasts for a good reason, so don't miss out!

1991 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS

1991 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera RS

Lot # 234 (Sale Order: 34 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1991Registration: J641 GAHChassis Number: WP0ZZZ96ZNS490413Engine - Displacement: 3600Engine Number: 62N80564Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 130000 - 150000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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 462 bhp! Magazine articles at the time showed the car accelerated from 0-100mph in mere 8 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 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 Seventies and Eighties 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.

Make: PorscheYear: 1994Registration: L7 JTAChassis Number: WPOZZZ99ZRS314861Engine - Displacement: 3596Engine Number: 63R51796Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 35000 - 40000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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 247 bhp, the 993 produced a healthy 272bhp resulting in a top speed of over 150mph and acceleration to match. 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 is finished in Iris Blue Metallic with a Marble Grey interior. Well specified 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. Delivered new by Lancaster Porsche 23-05-94 the service records of this 993 are impeccable and detail the first five services by Porsche with the last, in the hands of its first owner, being at Porsche Cardiff on 04/10/2002 at 42,800 miles. It then became the pride and joy of Mr. Haruo Okamoto who had it regularly serviced by H.W.Motors with its 8th service on 07/07/2008 at 63,400 miles. At this point he returned to Japan and took his beloved Porsche with him where he fastidiously maintained it with records of a further four services over there, the final one being on 27/03/2016 at 80,164 miles. In June of 2016, the Porsche came back to the UK and there is an invoice for £1,491.82 from a Porsche specialist on its return. The odometer is currently indicating just over 81K miles and the car comes with the Owner's Manual, its Service Records, and a fresh MOT. This is a lovely example of an early 993, with low ownership and a full and detailed history and, at this guide, would make a great entry into the joys of Porsche ownership.

Well specified 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. Delivered new by Lancaster Porsche 23-05-94 the service records of this 993 are impeccable and detail the first five services by Porsche with the last, in the hands of its first owner, being at Porsche Cardiff on 04/10/2002 at 42,800 miles. It then became the pride and joy of Mr. Haruo Okamoto who had it regularly serviced by H.W.Motors with its 8th service on 07/07/2008 at 63,400 miles. At this point he returned to Japan and took his beloved Porsche with him where he fastidiously maintained it with records of a further four services over there, the final one being on 27/03/2016 at 80,164 miles. In June of 2016, the Porsche came back to the UK and there is an invoice for £1,491.82 from a Porsche specialist on its return. The odometer is currently indicating just over 81K miles and the car comes with the Owner's Manual, its Service Records, and a fresh MOT. This is a lovely example of an early 993, with low ownership and a full and detailed history and, at this guide, would make a great entry into the joys of Porsche ownership.

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 1375Kg 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 Sat-Nav.

This car is an early example of the revised 3.3-litre 911 Turbo that was first introduced late in 1978. The factory revisions included an engine increase from 3-litre to 3.3, as well as a larger turbo and integrated intercooler which was now incorporated in the infamous "Tea-Tray" rear spoiler. Further improvements were made to both the suspension and brakes to cope with the 300bhp that was now standard. It was the fastest production sports car of its day. On offer here is a UK supplied C16, right-hand drive, 1980 930 Turbo, delivered when new by Lancaster Garages of Colchester, Essex to a Mr. M.J. Coburn. Today it has covered just 71,000 miles with a comprehensive owner's file detailing the car's service records. It benefits from a significant history file which confirms that this car has been featured in a Porsche magazine review and road test of the model, as well as many bills and receipts throughout the car's life from both main dealers and known specialists totaling £43,635! After several years in long-term professional storage, the car has recently been recommissioned and repainted (£11,760) and now positively gleams. It will come to the Sale following a full service during its last MOT, which included new spark plugs, air filter, and oil filter as well as four-wheel alignment and new pads front and rear. A really nice example of a very original and unmolested 930 Turbo that presents and drives equally well.

1970 Porsche 914-6

Lot # 239 (Sale Order: 39 of 59)

The 914-6 was Porsche's foil to criticism raised that the 914 was lacking in performance. With the sonorous flat 6 110 bhp 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 a 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 160 bhp. 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 70's Porsche/Volkswagen rarity comes with large history file, an MoT valid until May next year, and a speedo trip showing only 55,000 kms.

1998 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo 'S'

Lot # 240 (Sale Order: 40 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1998Registration: R994 PHGChassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZWS370457Engine - Displacement: 3596Engine Number: 61W00828Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 245000 - 285000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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, 450 bhp, 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 0–60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the Turbo S could hit 100 mph 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 MOTs in the history file clarifying that no expense has been spared on this special car, a fresh MOT 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 breath-taking 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, very special Porsche and we welcome any inspection.

This extremely rare UK supplied C16 factory built Supersport Convertible (SSE) was supplied new by Waldron Porsche of Kent in February 1989. The factory built just 66 Supersport models worldwide in 1989 and just a handful of right-hand drive convertibles came to the UK that year. The Supersport factory spec (previously M491, now SSE)) featured the Turbo wider body, Turbo suspension, and brakes, as well as the all-important G50 gearbox, wider wheels and rear Turbo spoiler. The factory options fitted to this car from new were: Recoil bumpers, heavy duty battery, Blaupunkt Toronto stereo, forged alloy wheels finished in Grand Prix white, electric comfort seats, power hood, hi-fi package including 8 speakers with amp, Supersport option (M491), top tint windscreen, and luggage compartment trimmed in black velour. Today, it presents as the best condition 911 of that era we have ever seen here at Silverstone Auctions. All panels are totally original and the paint finish factory fresh. It has covered just 35,000 warranted miles confirmed by both the comprehensive service history and all prior MOT certificates. Our private vendor acquired the car from highly respected Hexagon Modern Classics of London in July 2015 and has hardly used it since. Sitting in a heated, purpose-built storage facility the car was a pleasure to catalogue. The history file shows us that a new electric hood was fitted in 2013 at a cost of some £10,000 and also that the car has been maintained and serviced correctly throughout its life. Supplied with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity that confirms matching numbers throughout, this rare Supersport convertible is genuinely stunning and should not be missed.

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 & stickers' car that was enjoyed by two owners in Germany before being purchased in 1998 by its one UK owner, our vendor. It's rare to get access to such a comprehensive history, so we have decided to list it as our vendor has done; 'Bought by the current owner from Porsche Zentrum Hamburg 17/10/1998. Registered in the UK 19/10/1998 (K902 SLY). It was taken abroad by the owner in 2009 (registration WY 97766) and brought back to the UK in 2012 and re-registered on its original number in 2013. The car has 156,887km on the original km/hr speedometer (included in sale items). This had to be changed to a second-hand speedo for UK MOT in 2013 (original reading 83,927ml) and has subsequently done 8,000 miles. See service documents and MOT certificates for confirmation" There is a fully detailed list of service dates and MOTs on our website. " The rear light strip and indicators have been replaced as the originals were faded and the front indicators have been replaced with black units (originals of all these are available). The car had a minor rear-end accident in 2000 and the plastic bumper was replaced but no other parts were needed. The original tool-kit, compressor, space-saver 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 29 March 2011 (see MSZ Racing receipt) The air-conditioning condenser unit was replaced 10 August 2010 and the air-con work 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 12K 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 'wide-body' 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 4-Wheel Drive, ABS, Full GT3 RS Fibre Pack including the Mirrors, Rear Spoiler and bonnet vent, Anti-Lock Brakes, and Xenon Head Lights. In terms of driver comfort, it has Air Conditioning, Climate Control, Central Locking, Electric Windows, Power-assisted Steering (PAS), Tilt Steering Wheel, Sat-Nav, Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbags, Immobiliser/Alarm, In-Car Entertainment, AM/FM Stereo, and Premium Sound System However, although it's perfectly feasible to pop to the shops in the RS, visiting Tescos is not its 'Raison d'Etre'. This is as close as it gets to a full race-prepared car for the road. 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 Dec 2007. Its initial service was carried out by Porsche main dealers at 1,252 Kms 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. 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 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 rela...moreted 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 4-Wheel Drive, ABS, Full GT3 RS Fibre Pack including the Mirrors, Rear Spoiler and bonnet vent, Anti-Lock Brakes, and Xenon Head Lights. In terms of driver comfort, it has Air Conditioning, Climate Control, Central Locking, Electric Windows, Power-assisted Steering (PAS), Tilt Steering Wheel, Sat-Nav, Driver Airbag, Passenger Airbag, Side Airbags, Immobiliser/Alarm, In-Car Entertainment, AM/FM Stereo, and Premium Sound System However, although it's perfectly feasible to pop to the shops in the RS, visiting Tescos is not its 'Raison d'Etre'. This is as close as it gets to a full race-prepared car for the road. 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 Dec 2007. Its initial service was carried out by Porsche main dealers at 1,252 Kms 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.

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 Porsche racer and factory driver of the day. It was in its original colour of Light Yellow ( factory code B4B4) with black upholstery and had covered 59,960 miles from new. Since then he has owned and cherished this car, maintaining it himself of course at PCT, which has included a strip down and overhaul of both the engine and the gearbox.

1983 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo

1983 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo

Lot # 245 (Sale Order: 45 of 59)      

Make: PorscheModel: 911 930 TurboYear: 1983Registration: A495 XTLChassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZDS000875Engine Number: 67D0892/M93066Engine - Displacement: 3506ccCylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 65000 - 75000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
By attaching a KKK turbocharger to its 3.0 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. Engine capacity was increased to 3.3litres 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. This particular car is a UK C16 spec 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. The original book pack and service records show 16 main dealer stamps between 1985 and 2007 which confirm the cars overall mileage of 109,400 today, as do the 16 MOT certificates contained in the very large history file. 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. With a fresh MOT until August 2018, this is a matching numbers car which 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.

In 1989, the second series of the 944 was introduced, powered by a 210 bhp normally aspirated, double-overhead-cam, 16-valve, 3.0-litre version of the 944S 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. 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 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 recipé; has been used with the 993, 996 and 997 versions of their iconic 911 model. 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 500 lbs foot 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. Additionally, for those customers who wanted to go a little further, a Clubsport Package (M003) was a no-cost option and 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. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic with a Black leather interior, this GT2 is a UK, right-hand drive car delivered and registered by Porsche Reading on 30/07/2008 having been ordered for a customer by Porsche Centre Hatfield in May. In addition to the Clubsport Package, the option boxes had been well ticked and they included 19-inch GT3 wheels, Sport bucket seats, vehicle tracking system, side skirts, the Carbon Package, Extended Navigation module, the Chrono package and Telephone Module. The car has been enjoyed by two owners, with the current one having purchased it in May 2012 when it had covered 25,000 miles. The current indicated mileage is 40,948, and it benefits from full Porsche service history, details below; Porsche Hatfield 21/06/2010 @ 18457 (Minor) Porsche reading 16/06/2012 @ 26600 (Major) Porsche Reading 17/06/2014 @ 35201 (Minor plus drive belt replaced and new clutch total bill £4,736 Porsche Reading 15/06/2016 @ 40733 (Major) The brake fluids were changed at each service.

1976 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.0

1976 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo 3.0

Lot # 248 (Sale Order: 48 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1976Registration: PTT 51PChassis Number: 9306800412Engine - Displacement: 2993Engine Number: 6860424Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 130000 - 160000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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. Turbo-lag 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 all-time 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 '75-77, 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 till 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 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 seventies poster car. If Mr. McQueen was around now I very much doubt that he would just leave it in the garage!

1969 Porsche 911E Targa 2.0

Lot # 249 (Sale Order: 49 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 1969Registration: JSA 374GChassis Number: 119210763Engine - Displacement: 2Estimate - Range: 60000 - 70000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
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. The bodywork had been subject to a high-end restoration not too long before, and the previous vendor forwarded various pictures showing this, however, being a stickler for detail, the current owner went about bringing this car back to its former glory on a no-expense-spared basis. Whilst very little bodywork needed attention, our vendor went about an obsessive engine rebuild, and a through 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 C of A, 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/Porsche-Targa-1969-911E-2litre/i-pkKLhjZ This is an absolutely splendid early 911E. Deep Burgundy really suits this lovely old Porsche, and viewed in profile, the silhouette is pure unadorned, unfettered, unmolested 911. A remarkable motor car.
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 de...moresigned 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.

2003 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S

2003 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 4S

Lot # 250 (Sale Order: 50 of 59)      

Make: PorscheYear: 2003Registration: M13 NVR WA03KVSChassis Number: WPOZZZ99Z3S605577Engine - Displacement: 3596Cylinders: 6-Cyl.Estimate - Range: 30000 - 35000Guide Price: (+16.2% premium inc. VAT@20%)
PLEASE NOTE : This car now comes with grey wheels and not silver as pictured. 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. In response to customer demand, the four-wheel drive Carrera 4S was introduced in 2003 fitted as standard with many options including a wider body with turbo-style wheels, lowered suspension, and a sports exhaust coupled to the 3.6ltr engine which developed 320bhp @6800rpm and 273lb/ft torque. Aided by the inclusion of 'Variocam plus' which improved power delivery through the range, the car was capable of 0-60 in 5 seconds and a top speed of 174mph. This lovely, manual gearbox, Carrera 4S bears the desirable Porsche 'C16' Code meaning that it was destined from 'Day 1' for the UK market and has been equipped accordingly. It was ordered in Midnight Blue with deep blue carpets and a Natural leather interior and was distributed through the Porsche Centre Exeter. 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. With the Porsche is a superb history file with, not only its original book pack but invoices for the majority of services undertaken on the car along with other invoices for remedial work completed. This particular Carrera 4S is a fantastic example of a well maintained desirable specification modern classic and rarely do 911s come to the market in this stunning condition with such modest mileage and superb maintenance history. Low mileage Porsches are the 'perfect storm' for investment potential with the 996 gathering inertia and this delightful car is definitely in that category.
