1995 PORSCHE 911 (993) TURBO

KEY FACTS

• A very smart example of the iconic air-cooled supercar, finished in an eye-catching factory colour and benefitting from a recent mechanical overhaul.
• Under the engine lid is the 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six, which sends 408hp to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.
• Delivered to New York, US in 1995, this Turbo was later exported to Europe with only 36 miles showing on its odometer, which was then converted to read in km. The car then found its way to Poland, where it was kept by a Porsche collector, who later sold it to a German owner in 2015.
