1982 PORSCHE 911 (930) TURBO

This Porsche 911 (930) Turbo represents an unmissable opportunity to own one of the marque’s defining models, which benefits from a complete interior restoration, refreshed mechanicals, and excellent bodywork. It is powered by a 3.3-litre turbocharged flat-six, coupled to a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates 72,050km.

Having dominated the Can-Am racing series in 1972 and ’73, Porsche set about combining its highly successful turbocharged engine technology with its iconic 911 sports car. The Porsche 930 was the result: Germany's fastest production car on the road at the time and the star of posters around the world. An original right-hand drive car, this example has been with the current vendor in Australia for the past six years; who has spared no expense in ensuring the Porsche is in wonderful condition.

The exterior of the vehicle presents superbly and has undergone a full respray in the factory black colour scheme. The high-quality finish presents with a deep gloss and it is enhanced by the correct ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler. All of the body trims and light lenses are in good condition, and the glass throughout the vehicle is in great shape. The owner reports that the door and boot rubbers have all been replaced, as well as the seal on the factory-fitted sunroof.

Inside the vehicle is in exceptional condition, having undergone a recent restoration. Reupholstered in new black leather, the seats are in superb order, with the matching door cards finished to the same high standard. The carpets are also new, having been replaced with genuine Porsche items, and there is also a new factory specification hood lining, and new door pockets installed. The owner reports that all gauges and switches operate as they should, including does the cassette/radio, while the steering wheel has been restitched in new leather.

The 300hp 3.3-litre flat-six engine is the pulsating heart of the legendary Porsche and benefits from a full rebuild approximately 4,000km ago. In addition to this major mechanical restoration, the vehicle has also been treated to new brake discs and pads. The most recent service was carried out in December 2020 with German Sports Cars performing a full service, and a new battery was also installed.

The most recent roadworthy inspection was performed on the vehicle two month ago, which resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or warnings being issued. Filling the wheel arches are original 16-inch Fuchs wheels fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres, in size 205/55 R16 at the front and 225/50 R16 at the rear. The owner reports these to be in new condition and states that the car is offered for sale with two keys and Porsche letter of authenticity that also details the options fitted when new.

This Porsche 930 Turbo is an iconic classic in truly excellent condition, having been treated to notable restoration works. A true 'poster car' that exemplifies the extravagance of its era, it backs it up with exciting performance and an engaging driving experience. Now ready to be enjoyed by its new owner, it would make for a thrilling weekend car and is set to make a stand-out addition to any Porsche collection.
