•Fully documented engine rebuild in 2014

With a total of only 628 Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolets having been built for the European market, this is a rare example of the German marque’s enduring sports car. An original UK-market ‘C16-code’ car, it is 1 of 39 right-hand-drive Cabriolets that were imported in 1988 and was first registered on 18 January that year.

Now offered for sale at The Classic Motor Hub, it is finished in Silver Metallic with a Dark Blue hood and Marine Blue leather seats that are both heated and electrically operated, and has 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels in gloss black with polished rims.

Serviced and maintained early in its life by the AFN Official Porsche Centres in London’s Brompton Road and Chiswick, this 930 Turbo Cabriolet has an extensive history file that includes more than 30 years’ worth of invoices and MoT certificates.

There are also plentiful hand-written notes cataloguing the various work that’s been done to the car over the years. These include the fitment of a Haywood and Scott twin-outlet exhaust in 2000 and a shortshift gearchange kit in 2002.

After being acquired by a new owner in November 2014, when the mileage was recorded as being 58,200, the turbocharged flat-six engine was given a full rebuild. The gearbox was also rebuilt and the clutch replaced, and the whole process is documented via photographs that are included in the history file.

The Porsche has been regularly serviced, in recent years by classic car specialist Landbeasts, and Cotswold Porsche Specialists.

Offered for sale with its original driver’s manual plus the guarantee and maintenance book, this Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet is a well-maintained and highly useable example of this iconic 1980s poster car.
