details

A UK-supplied right-hand drive car with nine previous owners, the current owner has enjoyed just 4,000 miles in the car the car since August 2013.

The car has its original numbers matching engine and transmission numbers.  It is fitted with the following optional equipment:  recoil bumpers, electric / heated passenger door mirrors, air conditioning and a sun roof.

Most interestingly, it is fitted with a pair of orthopaedic seats, as famously developed by former Porsche engineer and company Chairman Dr Ernst Fuhrmann (who had a bad back). These seats were an expensive option: the list price of a 911 Turbo in 1977 was £19,499 and the seats were £1,800 – the equivalent of a £15,000 option on a new Turbo today.

The car has a stamped service book with MOTs backing up the mileage all the way back to when it was 38,261 in 1990.  The current MOT does not expire until 1 August 2020.

We have really enjoyed having this Turbo in the Sports Purpose garage. The metallic green paint / mint green leather / Fuhrmann seat combination looks supercool and extremely contemporary, attracting many positive comments.
Our thoughts

911 Turbo’s remain underrated cars in our opinion.  Modern tyres make them extremely usable in every day conditions, as do the quiet engine and torquey power delivery.

At the same time, they retain the special aura of being Porsche’s supercar, with performance that is still exciting today, particularly given the nature of the acceleration under on-boost thrust.

At £80,000, this car is proof that value can exist in the current classic Porsche market and that great drivers’ cars are accessible at all price points.
