Lot 61
 

1987 Porsche 911 Turbo
More than £45,000 spent on a mechanical overhaul by Porsche mechanics in the last six years, and comes with a 'staggering' amount of paperwork

Registration - JUI 2377

Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ93ZHS000160

M.O.T. - August 2025

Odometer - 98,531

Captivating in silver bodywork, this example of Porsche’s 911 is the highly sought-after and appreciating 930 Turbo. Presented with the obligatory ‘whale tail’ rear wing, black Fuchs alloys, and black detailing, ‘JUI 2377’ is fitted with Porsche’s 3.3-litre turbo-charged flat-six from the period, connected to a four-speed manual transmission. An original right-hand drive model, the 911 Turbo is fitted with a grey leather upholstery and grey interior trim. A classic three-spoke Momo steering wheel and five-gauge instrument panel are all present and correct.

The current owner has had the keys for almost two years, and there have been only nine previous keepers in more than 37 years of the 911 Turbo being on the road. ‘JUI 2377’ is offered with a 'staggering' file of paperwork, receipts, and invoices, which includes the extensive work carried out over the last six years. This includes more than £45,000 being spent on a mechanical overhaul, covering an engine rebuild and RUF performance exhaust fitted. All work has been completed any Porsche mechanics, and ‘JUI 2377’ has been extensively serviced by Porsche and Porsche specialists, with an extensive service history included. The paint is original, and shows some signs of bubbling in places; as such, the bodywork is rated as in ‘average’ condition by the vendor, though the electrics, paintwork, and interior are considered ‘good’ and the engine and transmission ‘excellent’. The odometer reads more than 98,500 indicated miles, and judging by MOT reports, it has seen just over 100 miles added since 2010.

  • Rare 911 Turbo offered with full engine rebuild
  • Desirable 930 example
  • Cherished model, with extensive file of paperwork

In the early ‘70s, Porsche had designs on racing a turbocharged version of the 911, in support of which they planned a homologation special along the lines of the Carrera 2.7 RS. A subsequent change in the rules negated the need for a precise number of street legal vehicles, but the company continued with the project anyway – the Porsche 911 Turbo was born. The 930 was based around the Carrera 3.0 RS, the engine from which was modified courtesy of turbo technology developed for the 917/30 CAN-AM cars. Initially power output was 260bhp, but from 1978 it was increased to 300bhp by raising the engine capacity to 3.3-litres. To accommodate the extra performance over the 3.0 RS, the 930 sported revised suspension, larger brakes and a robust four-speed gearbox. In order to help deliver the power to the road, a ‘whale tail’ rear spoiler was fitted and a wider rear wheel/tyre package was squeezed under specially flared arches.
