More often than not, the first image that springs to mind when you think of a 911 is the original Turbo, the 930, aka the widow maker.
The 930 was produced by Porsche between 1975 to 1989, it was known to the public as the 911 Turbo and was the top-of-the-range 911 model available for its entire production. It was also the fastest production car available in Germany. The first generation featured a 3.0L block pushing out 256BHP, and then later bored out to 3.3L and an air to air intercooler added helping to push the output to 296BHP. All this in a car with no real driver aids made it a real handful.
This particular example is a matching numbers car finished in the popular Guards Red paint with black leather interior, restored in 2017 and coming out of 3 and half years ownership. Coming to market freshly serviced, it will be sold with 12 months MOT so that it's ready from the get go.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Kulraj after meeting Adam the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi Adam,
Im a classic car virgin, I’ve not been able to get up to see the car so I’m a bit concerned that I might be buying trouble, can you vouch for the car because I’m bidding now and getting nervous, having looked a couple of 930 turbo, from your experience do you think the engine and gearbox have had any work, does it drive well, is the gear change good, they always seem a bit sloppy. Rgds graham.
Morning Graham, So as a classic car virgin you are buying arguably one of the most infamous classics 🙂 I’ve got no reason to doubt the engine. It sounds great, pulls well, a puff of smoke sometimes on start up but they all do that due to the engine configuration. The gearbox has had the linkages replaced in my ownership, so a stock feel. Some people like the 5 speed G50 box, but they were only fitted in the run out year of ’89 and you’ll be looking at a car with a £30k + premium on top. Second gear is notchy until warm (they are all like it – even my 89 G50) – you get used to it. It’s not like driving a modern Ford Focus that’s for sure! Basically I’ve set a reserve that will give the owner lots of equity in the car. It’s a RHD 930 at the end of the day that will always be desirable and likely to go up in value. But you take your chances and go with your gut 🙂
Thank you so much
Can I ask if the engine had any major work carried out please.
Thanks for your interest. There are no receipts however the engine is super strong and oil pressure good. It sounds great too as you can hear in the video (actually smoother than my 80k mile ’89 3.2). Always starts first go / quickly as per the video. It pulls strongly and no noises e.g. not even a slight noise from the timing chain / tensioners. I’ve listened with a stethoscope! I always assumed work had been done but can’t verify. HTH
Fantastic thank you I’ll continue to bid. I’m sorry Did I speak to you about the black 930 turbo, somebody was going to call me when the exhaust was repaired.
