First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show, with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 ‘930' Turbo was a genuine Supercar that came to define both the 1970s and 80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS with its capacity increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The bodywork came in for special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear "whale-tail" and the brakes were borrowed directly from the Porsche 917 race car. At the end of production in 1989, Porsche decided to mark the occasion by creating a very special Limited Edition 930 - the ultimate Turbo. A small number of the last assembly batch of standard 3.3-litre cars were taken off the line and sent to the 'Exclusive' team at Zuffenhausen to be finished by hand. With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top tinted windscreen, a choice of special colours for interior and exterior, rear quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, and finally gold ‘Turbo' lettering stitched behind the seats. Each car also featured a Gold Plaque on the centre console and a Gold gear knob top as recognition of the LE's place in Porsche 911 history. This 911 Turbo LE was supplied in Grand Prix White and the paintwork appears to have aged well. The interior is full black leather and is in beautiful condition, befitting a car that has done only 49,893 miles. The original service booklet shows some 18 stamps from various specialists including AFN Porsche, Porsche Rivervale, Porsche Strasse, and Porsche Cardiff. There are a large number of invoices and receipts in the car's history file for work carried out over the years and the indicated mileage of just under 50,000, whilst not warranted, seems to be supported by the MOT Certificates and the earlier service book. The car was initially supplied to Ian Corkhill Porsche in the Isle of Man but it wasn't long before it arrived in England at Glenvarigill Porsche with only 376 miles showing. The factory option sticker found under the bonnet and in the service book shows the option codes : (139) Heated Seats, (220) Limited Slip Differential, (XA4) Front spoiler, (XB7) Rear Air Ducts, (XE7)Front Oil Cooler, (XH1) 3 Spoke Steering Wheel, (XK5)Leather Gear Lever,( XN7) Leather handbrake. In 2015, the engine was removed by Porsche Centre Cardiff initially for general inspection, tappet adjustments, spark plugs, gaskets, and any other jobs deemed necessary while the engine was removed from the car and after passing its health check, it was refitted. The car will have a fresh MOT at the time of the sale. Overall, this rare 'LE' is in fabulous condition and we welcome any inspection. These last 53 'Limited Edition' cars are arguably the most collectable, and this car represents an opportunity to own a legendary Porsche Turbo but with a rarity factor that makes it even more special. NB; According to the HPI report, this car was the subject of an insurance total loss payment on the 5th of October 1995. This is believed to be because the vehicle was stolen and recovered, but HPI do not hold any records that far back in time and there was no classification system in place then.
