details

This Porsche 911 Turbo was supplied in January 1980 through Porsche Germany.  It is in German market specification without the sunroof and air-conditioning that were standard in most other markets. The car’s exterior was originally Copper Brown Metallic however it was repainted early in its life in Continental Orange (a standard Porsche colour in the late 1970s). 

The interior is upholstered in its original dark brown leather and still retains its factory carpeting and headlining. The engine and gearbox are numbers matching.  Although externally repainted the car has not been apart and retains much originality.  

The car has spent almost all of its life in Germany. The previous owner bought the car in 2012 while working in Germany and imported it to the UK on his return in 2016. We believe the car has had no more than five owners from new. 

The car has covered a total of 130,600 kms (81,150 miles) and is in exceptional mechanical condition having been regularly maintained by well-known specialists in Germany and the UK. The engine (including the turbocharger) was fully rebuilt as a precautionary measure in late 2018. The clutch, heat exchangers, front brake discs, brake pads and tyres were also renewed at the same time. The car benefits from a recent pre-sale service in July.

A proper Turbo just as the factory originally intended.
Our thoughts

This 911 Turbo is stunning in its period colour scheme, evocative of the Jägermeister sponsored 934 racing cars from the late ‘70s. It has benefitted from having had a knowledgeable custodian who has maintained it perfectly and resisted the temptation to modify or upgrade it. Turbos can be expensive to maintain properly and this one really stands out as a fastidiously kept example.

In summary, a proper Turbo just as the factory originally intended, and a time warp example of a special car in extremely good condition.
