A classic F-Series Targa restoration project ripe for completion.In regular use prior to the restoration being commencedMinor mechanical issues, new clutch etc. dealt with before the car was professionally strippedShell dipped and repaired. Ready for pre-paint preparationAccompanied by £13,000 worth of boxed new panelsSo much potential to finish in your choice of colour and trimWith the majority of the hard work completed, this is an exciting projectPorsche produced the 911E from 1968 to 1973, (B-F Series) replacing the 911(Lux), and it was designed to be the most comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting neatly between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The designation 'E' came from the German for injection, Einspritzung, and the mechanical fuel injection system (MFI) was developed jointly by Bosch and Porsche to be used on the 911E and the 911S resulting in more power, better drivability, and a cleaner running engine. In 1972/3 the 911E (E/F-Series) benefited from a larger engine (2341cc), the stronger 915 gearbox, better brakes and the interior offered a few more creature comforts.Purchased in 2002 by its present owner, this left-hand drive, manual gearbox, 2.4-litre, Targa was used sparingly when first acquired, before redundancy hit and the Porsche was put into storage with a 996 being pressed into service for regular use. The long-term goal was always to totally restore this increasingly rare 911, however, a new venture into the motorsport arena meant that time was at a premium and the project languished until 2018 when the bullet was bitten and work started in earnest. Before the entire car was professionally stripped to the bare shell, all the mechanical components were checked over with only minor oil leaks being noted before being rectified and a new clutch was fitted to the five-speed gearbox. The shell was dipped and repairs commenced as required. Whilst this work was being carried out, the purchase of new panels commenced at a cost of approximately £13,000, and these remain in their boxes ready to be fitted. Original seats being difficult to find, generally similar but more comfortable Mazda MX5 seats were sourced, retrimmed to mirror the original specification and are now ready to be fitted, as are a set of desirable 15” ‘Cookie Cutter’ alloy wheels.Unfortunately, circumstances now dictate that our vendor is unable to complete the project hence it being offered in its entirety for the next custodian to complete and enjoy as intended. We are assured that this is a complete car and ripe for refinishing.A sensible project with the majority of the hard work completed offering lots of potential with the added attraction of being able to select any one of the fourteen vibrant hues from the 1973 911 colour palette.We would advise that interested parties view the car and components prior to purchase to fully appreciate the work that has already been completed and to also understand what lies ahead. With the values of these early cars continuing to firm this could be a rewarding project.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 2.4 E TARGAYear: 1973Chassis Number: 9113210791Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 6231607Drive Side: Left-hand DriveClick here for more details and images

Lot 235

Beautifully prepared by the UK’s favourite BTCC team Motorbase for fast-road or competition use.Fastidiously ground-up restored by the Motorbase Classic Performance Dept. using genuine Heritage body panelsFitted with a fully rebuilt 3.6-ltr, 993 engine delivering a reliable 320bhp through a fresh 915 gearbox with a gripper LSDPreviously a 2.7 RS spec race car with good competition history, purchased by Motorbase in 2018 after recent £33,000 expenditure at Porsche guru, Tech9Once the shell had been checked on a jig the 911 was totally rebuilt to the very high standards of a premier motorsport racing teamSubsequently used as a marketing tool and displayed at prestigious events to showcase the standard of finish from the in-house Classic Performance DepartmentA beautifully finished retro 911 suitable for fast-road driving, track-days or full competition in various eligible seriesDelivered new to Germany in 1977, this Porsche 911 2.7 MFI would later be sourced and imported to the UK by experienced Porsche racer Des Winks. This example had been carefully selected from single ownership due to the excellent condition of the bodyshell. During the early 90s, the car would be converted to 2.7 RS Lightweight specification with the intention of using it for competition. Work included new steel front and rear wings and Kevlar bumpers, bonnet and duck-tail whilst inside the 911 was fitted with full Safety Devices front and rear cage and full lightweight interior trim. Preparation was undertaken by Bob Watson including rebuilding the engine and gearbox to 210bhp, 2.7RS-specification with genuine steel RSL rear trailing arms, RSL brakes and Bilstein suspension to run in the 1993 Pirelli Porsche series. In 1995, the car was sold to Steve Rogers and subsequently in 2004 to Mike Nesbit. Around 2006, the car was fitted with a 993, 3.6-litre engine before competing in the Scottish Classic Sports & Saloons. The Porsche was particularly effective with Mike setting a new track record at Knockhill in 2007.Our vendor, Motorbase Performance, purchased this 911 in 2018 as a project to showcase the standard of workmanship achievable in their newly established Classic Performance department. Motorbase Performance are a UK-based race team with many years of experience and success within the industry including 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Champions and 2014 British GT Champions.Despite having recently received £30,000+ in attention (mainly from Porsche specialist Tech9), the decision was taken to disassemble the old racer and rebuilt it from the ground up in-house at their motorsport facility near Brands Hatch. Photographs and invoices within the file show the shell stripped and rebuilt using genuine heritage parts and panels purchased from Porsche GB. All mechanical parts were stripped and rebuilt where necessary and all electrical items checked and repaired as required. The shell was then professionally finished inside and out by their expert paint-shop in a stunning shade of grey before reassembly. The suspension geometry, including the Bilstein dampers, was set-up correctly for fast-road or race use. The interior was enhanced with a new set of Corbeau race seats and the exterior finished with new genuine headlamps and 16” Fuchs alloys (a set of 15” wheels and tyres accompany the car for track-day use). Also accompanying the car is a substantial history file including the aforementioned restoration documents, detailed history back to the cars import in 1989, current V5 certificate.Since completion, the car has had light use and has been on display at Porsche Carrera Cup GB and Silverstone Classic events for Motorbase to showcase their Classic Performance department. In summary, this very special Porsche 911 has been lovingly restored by one of the UK’s best-known racing teams using original parts and utilising many years of motorsport knowledge and experience. Built for fast-road, track-day or full competition use this is a very cool versatile classic 911 with current Supercar performance.Viewing of this cracking 911 is highly recommended and, as you would expect, the car fires into life on the first turn of the key, sounds amazing and is described as performing extremely well. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 CARRERA RSYear: 1977Chassis Number: 9117301723Transmission: ManualEngine Number: TBCDrive Side: Right-hand DriveMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Lot 236

Finished in original Viper Green, this Concours-winning, matching numbers 2.4S is a rare, 1972-only “side oil-fill” example.Manufactured on the 15th February 1972 as one of just 1,430 “side oil fill-oel klappe” 911sConfirmed as the original engine and gearbox and factory Viper Green (3838) by the Porsche CoADelivered new to Italy, the car remained there until 1997, subsequently UK registered on 1st September 2002Invoices for some £25,000 are present for a full engine and gearbox rebuild by Porsche specialists, Gantspeed Engineering Ltd.The bare metal re-spray, in original Viper Green, was completed by Queenswell Coachworks of ForfarThe extensive history file contains invoices to the value of around £50,000 and a photographic record of the restorationPresented to auction with some 59,600km or 36,700 miles (atoc) and an MOT valid until July 2021In the early Seventies, Porsche were in a rich vein of competition success so it’s not surprising that the 2.4-litre 911 variants of that time are considered a reflection of that engineering prowess and only surpassed by the legendary 911 2.7 RS of 1973. Lessons learned at the circuit resulted in a number of revised settings for the new 911s mainly affecting braking and handling and amongst those were modified suspension pick-up points and the adoption of Koni dampers. Power from the 2.4-litre, fuel-injected unit had now reached 190bhp, giving a wonderful free-revving engine resulting in 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 144mph. The much more user-friendly Type 915 five-speed gearbox completed the package.In 1972 Porsche made the decision to move the position of the oil tank from behind the right rear wheel to in front of it, changing weight distribution by offsetting some of the weight of the engine, positioned like any 911 over the rear axle, and in doing so generating improvements to handling when close to the limit.Porsche installed the oil filler flap on the right rear quarter panel but, as is common knowledge, this was frequently mistaken for the fuel filler, particularly in the US, so it was subsequently changed back for the 1973 model year.Porsche produced just 1,430 of these 1972 911s known as the “side oil fill” or "oelkappe" with this very fine example leaving the factory on the 15th February 1972. Destined for Italy, this 2.4S specified in Viper Green with a black interior stayed there until 1997, returning to Germany for a spell until it was imported and subsequently registered in the UK on the 1st September 2002. The car was entered into the Independent Porsche Enthusiasts Club Concours event at Walton Hall in 2003, winning the Autobahn Best Display Porsche award and subsequently featuring on the club magazine’s front cover.The car was treated to a full cosmetic and mechanical restoration from 2012 with a bare metal respray in the original colour of Viper Green by Queensway Coachworks of Forfar, and a photographic record contained in a CD-ROM is included in the extensive history file. The interior was refurbished, the black leatherette seats and dashboard present beautifully today, as do the dials, switchgear, carpeting and perforated headlining. The original engine and gearbox were rebuilt by renowned Porsche specialists, Gantspeed Engineering Ltd. of Lincolnshire, at a cost of some £25,000 less than 2,000 kilometres ago.Offered to auction by a long-standing Silverstone Auctions customer, the car has been stabled alongside one of the finest collections of rare Jaguars and modern Porsches since 2016. General servicing and maintenance have been carried out regardless of use and the car was last serviced by Anthony Seddon Racing of Cheshire in 2019 at 59,559 kilometres. Hardly driven since, the odometer now shows an equivalent of some 36,700 miles at the time of cataloguing. The MOT Certificate is valid until the 7th July 2021 and is accompanied by previous MOTs, past tax discs, owner’s manual, various magazines featuring the car and its tool kit.We love an outlandishly painted Porsche at Silverstone Auctions and a “side oil fill” 2.4S with matching numbers, extensive bills, near twenty-years of UK residency that presents this well is always a pleasure to offer to a discerning enthusiast.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911Year: 1972Chassis Number: 9112300797Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 59620 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Bare-shell restoration recently completed to the very highest of standards with just 28 miles covered since.Finished in gleaming Schwarz with a matching black interiorSuperb craftsmanship, the panel gaps and shut-lines are factory perfectPeriod-correct 1600cc ‘S’ engine, front disc brake conversion and 12v electricsPorsche Certificate of AuthenticityOnly 28 miles since the rebuild. Will require running-inThe 356 is acknowledged as Porsche’s first production car and was a lightweight and nimble handling, rear engine, rear wheel drive, two-door sports car available in hardtop, coupé, and open configuration. Over a 15-year production period, the 356 evolved from an aluminium bodied coupé with an 1100cc air-cooled flat-four engine to a 2,000cc four-cam Carrera engine producing 130bhp. The 356 "B" was produced from 1960 to 1963 and saw body changes that included a curved front boot lid and rounded wings compared to that of the 356A and new front and rear sheet metal. To comply with US-Federal specifications, the front and rear bumpers were raised and over-riders added. Other key changes were raised headlamps, larger door handles, upgraded brakes and some improvements to the cabin. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsport success and popularity which continues to this very day.Originally supplied to its first owner in Culver City, USA in 1963, this superb 356B T6 Coupé has covered a minimal 28 miles since the completion of a professional, nut and bolt, restoration to exemplary standards of workmanship throughout. The gleaming Black paintwork has a shine so deep that you feel that you could dive into it, the panel gaps and shut-lines are factory perfect and the attention to detail in the matching black interior is remarkable. The dashboard, instruments and period radio present really well but, in the interests of originality, have not been restored.Originally purchased by our vendor some years ago, as a partially completed project, the decision was taken to start again from a bare shell to ensure that the end product would be worthy of any detailed inspection, something that we encourage and welcome pre-sale. Sensible enhancements were included in the build such as a period-correct 1600cc ‘S’ engine, front disc brake conversion and 12 volt electrics with genuine Porsche parts being employed wherever possible.This superb Porsche is now ready to be enjoyed once again, so fresh from restoration that a period of ‘running in’ would be advised. Rarely do examples come on to the market that have just had all the hard work done and are viable at a fraction of the build cost. As well as being a competent and sporting Coupé, this smart black 356 is a perfect representation of the late fifties/early sixties period that is absolutely in fashion at the moment, and this desirable example would be welcome anywhere."Strike while the iron is hot" as they say.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 356 B T6 COUPEYear: 1963Chassis Number: 212019CATransmission: ManualEngine Number: P820845SDrive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 27 MilesMake: LHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

1967 Volkswagen ‘Samba’ Split-screen T1 21-window camper directly from Jay Kay.Rare Samba model, especially in right-hand drive, the grail of spilt-screensMuch expenditure to make more driveable, comfortable and just plain coolLarge history file with dozens of receipts for maintenance and restorationPowerful 2.0-litre engine and a cosmetic restoration in 2016Original Devon Camper interiorThe Volkswagen Type 2 was introduced in 1950 as a multi-variant utility vehicle, known as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus (depending on body type). It was devised as an evolution of the Volkswagen Type 1, the original Beetle. The first generation of these versatile vehicles (named the T1) were produced with distinctive split-screens (‘splitties’) from 1950 until 1967.Only two models were originally offered, the Kombi and the Commercial. The Microbus was added in May 1950, joined by the Deluxe Microbus in June 1951.The Deluxe Microbus (known as the ‘Sunroof Deluxe’ in America) was the most luxurious version of the Volkswagen Transporter T1. The Deluxe model featured eight rear side windows and two rear corner windows, making it the 15-window (not available in Europe). Meanwhile, the European-market Deluxe Microbus, with its additional eight small skylight windows is, accordingly, the 23-window. From the 1964 model year with its wider rear door, the rear corner windows were discontinued, making the latter two, the 13-window and 21-window respectively. The 23 and later 21 window variants each carry the famous nickname 'Samba' and are especially revered.Instead of a sliding door at the side, the Samba had two pivot doors and a fabric sunroof and were mostly painted in two colours, usually with the upper part coloured white and the two-coloured sections being separated by a decorative strip. Sambas also have a more comprehensive dashboard than the normal T1 and are fitted with a so-called "hat" over the front split-screen which acts as a sun-visor for the driver.When Volkswagen started producing the successor to the T1 (the T2) the company also stopped producing the Samba, so sadly no Sambas were available in later versions of the Volkswagen Transporter, making these early and rare models very sought-after and collectable.Presented here is a 1967 VW Microbus Deluxe 21-window ‘Samba'. This bus was manufactured in right-hand drive, making it particularly rare, in the last year before the end of true T1 manufacture.This remarkable example of Volkswagen's coveted Samba was manufactured at the Wolfsburg factory and was delivered to its first registered owner in the UK on 1st August 1967. It’s previous owner, prior to Jay, purchased it in 2005, shortly after it had been renovated. We are informed that he had been looking for the perfect split-screen camping experience and, whilst searching for just such a bus, he stumbled across this Samba which immediately drew his attention as it was a UK-registered, right-hand drive, 21-window model with its original Devon Camper interior, an extremely rare and special vehicle which would be fantastic for family camping trips.At this time, it was found to have a Porsche 912 engine installed with such upgrades as stiffer/lowered suspension and disc brakes which vastly improved its handling and stopping capabilities. Other than these ‘nods to modernity’, the Samba was unspoilt and had retained its original paint and bodyshell which was in good condition. Upon sale, the previous owner removed the Porsche engine and refitted the original engine, however, after taking the vehicle back home to London, it was decided that a 2-litre flat-four unit would be installed in place of the original engine to give a bit more power and usability to keep up with modern-day traffic.It has proved a very reliable and able companion, having been consistently serviced by Jacks Garage in Notting Hill from where many receipts can be shown for work carried out. In 2016, it underwent a full bare-metal restoration ensuring it was returned to pristine condition and that the paintwork was as good as the mechanicals. Anyone who has restored one of these vehicles knows this is no minor process with much expense required. To ensure excellent drivability, it was decided that a few upgrades would be welcome and these included all new electrics, a replacement roof and power-steering which has vastly improved the driving experience of this 51-year-old bus.The full specification includes enhanced suspension and brakes, a new 2.0-litre, flat-four engine with ‘BugPack’ performance parts and filters, ‘Geneberg’ short gear changer and an oil temperature gauge. Lifestyle additions include iPod connection, a leisure battery, a modern heating module, a full original Devon Camper interior with retractable roof, interior lights, and worktop/table with ample storage. All the above ensures this classic bus is usable in modern traffic and still looks the part at festivals, camping and weekend trips.This genuine Samba is the perfect balance between 60s camper-van cool, VW enthusiast credibility and real-life modern drivability. It’s fast enough but not too loud, long-legged and easy to drive, comfortable with good ride quality, and is just waiting for its next trip!SpecificationMake: VOLKSWAGENModel: SAMBA SPLIT SCREEN T1 21 WINDOW CAMPERYear: 1967Chassis Number: 247113415Transmission: ManualEngine Number: AC8769323Make: Interior Colour: Camper / GreyClick here for more details and images

The ultimate modern-day Ferrari; rare, coveted and with just 1,600 miles.One of only 599 examples ever made and just two owners in totalNew to a Japanese collection, then bought by our vendor from UK specialists DK Engineering in 2015Just 2,577 km (1,601 miles); never seen rain, superb condition throughoutAll books and factory toolkit are still in their original plastic bagsHigh specification in Rosso Corsa (not Rosso Scuderia) paintwork, Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, full Alcantara interior with Tessuto inserts, Rosso stitching, stitched prancing horses and Rosso harnessesUnderstandably, Ferrari uses the coolest ‘go-faster’ tag in the known-universe sparingly. History shows that only twice before has ‘The Scuderia’ attached the ultimate mark of speed and desirability to the rear of a road car. Those two cars were the 1962 250GTO and the 1984 288GTO - both were defined by performance and an intention to go racing. ‘Gran Turismo Omologato’ is the full description, and homologation was the purpose in both cases, albeit with vastly differing outcomes. The 250 enjoyed a great career, but the 288 GTO was born of the Group B regulations that never delivered the Porsche 959-versus-GTO-at-Le-Mans battles we all craved – leaving it as simply the fastest and most desirable Ferrari road car of its day.So how does this new car, launched in 2010, based on a road machine and with no specific intention to go racing, justify the name? Well, according to Ferrari, it does so by taking much of the technology from the track-only 599XX and making it available with a numberplate: it ‘homologates’ the XX for road use.The aims of this project were, in fact, very simple. Besides translating some of the new technologies wrought through the XX project into a road application, the intention was to extract maximum circuit performance from the 599 package, but still retain enough usability for the car to be a viable road car.The 599 is not an obvious base for a light-weight sports car. It may boast an aluminium bodyshell, but it’s a big machine with a 6.0-litre V12 wedged between the front wheels. The path to sharper responses has of course embraced the standard methodology: make it lighter and add more power. But it’s the sheer number and scope of the changes that impresses, helping to justify its 2010 price tag of £299,300 and underpins Ferrari’s assertion that this is much closer to being a 599XX with numberplates than a 599 HGTE-Plus.For starters, engine power rises from 612bhp to a staggering 661bhp; internal friction has been reduced by 12% through all manner of tweaks: DLC (Diamond Like Coating) for the tappets, super-finished cam lobes, a new shape for the crankshaft weights and a new design of piston skirt. The compression ratio rose from 11.2 to 11.9 and the breathing was completely overhauled.Ferrari has crafted a new aluminium intake system that uses shorter runners and saves 2kg, the exhaust system is ‘hydroformed’ – effectively blown into shape, thereby avoiding the heavy seams that come with even the best welding. The process thins the metal from 1.5mm to 0.8mm and saves a remarkable 15kg over a standard system. Throughout the car, an impressive 100kg has been shed.Gear ratios are down 6%, the car now hitting its claimed 208 mph maximum on the 8400rpm rev-limiter. If the engine work is comprehensive, the chassis goes even further: new springs, dampers, electronic systems, wheels, tyres and a new generation of carbon-ceramic brake that uses, for the first time in a road car, a ceramic pad material.At Fiorano, the car is brutally fast, lapping a second faster than any other Ferrari, and that’s despite weighing 300kg more than a 430 Scuderia.The GTO’s list of go-faster aids is bewildering. It uses the now familiar F1-Trac system to harness those 661 horses, but it now has SCM2, which is a second-generation ‘Skyhook’ damper – the type with magnetized fluid that can alter viscosity through electric current. The main difference on the GTO is that it is fitted with three accelerometers from the XX that relay real-time data to SCM2, whereas the GTB’s dampers have to use approximate data. It’s very, very clever stuff.The latest F1 automated manual is superb, giving 60m/s shifts at Fiorano (that’s 40m/s faster than a GTB) yet able to slur the action in town.The noise? The outside world is treated to four-fifths of the Le Mans soundtrack. In its upper reaches, the V12 gets sharp and angry. Performance is other-worldly, Ferrari claims it’ll do a standing km in 19.9sec, which makes it one of the fastest cars ever made in 2010.You could go on about this machine for an entire website - the thinner glass is 5.5kg lighter, forged wheels and titanium bolts save an eye-popping 22kg, and Sabelt’s snug carbon seats trim another 17kg. It’s a detail masterpiece, a track genius, a road tonic and yet another great Ferrari. Oh, and it fully deserves the badge.The car presented here is as close to a new 599 GTO as you are likely to find, a 2011 example with just over 1,600 miles covered and, in a condition, which wholly reflects this. The car has a very high specification with Rosso Corsa (not Rosso Scuderia) paintwork, Grigio Silverstone Opaco roof, full Alcantara interior with Tessuto inserts, Rosso stitching, stitched prancing horses and Rosso harnesses. It is supplied with all of its original and complete book-pack, covers, radio/key code cards and spare key.Being offered for sale from a discerning private collector of best-of-the-best classic and modern-classic cars, this GTO has been serviced / looked after by the famous 'Cornes' dealership of Japan, then DK Engineering and Dick Lovett Ferrari in the UK, and is undoubtedly one of the best examples available anywhere. Bought by our vendor in 2015 from DK Engineering who described it as 'an exceptional example', going on to say in an accompanying letter in the history file 'it is without doubt one of the best condition cars we have seen recently, especially in regards to the underside (of the car) which I looked closely at in the process of the service and PDI carried out in our workshops'. There is all the reassurance you could want about its ownership/servicing in Japan, its meticulous transportation to the UK (photos & paperwork etc.) and its subsequent full inspection with one of the UK's most revered Ferrari specialists. Regarded by many Ferrari enthusiasts as ‘ultimate modern-day Ferrari’, with that tangible GTO magic well and truly present, the associated kudos of knowing what that really is, and enough power and go to satisfy the demands of drivers seeking thrills from any one of the current crop of supercars, the 599 GTO might just be the high-tide mark for normally aspirated, big-engined sportscars full-stop.SpecificationMake: FERRARIModel: 599 GTOYear: 2011Chassis Number: ZFF70RDJ000179278Transmission: Semi-autoEngine Number: 170329 Drive Side: Left-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 2577 KMMake: LHDInterior Colour: Nero Alcantara seats with RossoClick here for more details and images

One of just 113 UK supplied cars – The original GT3RS and highly coveted for good reasons.UK supplied (C-16), right-hand drive 911 (996) GT3RS indicating just 31,836 milesPowered by the 3.6-litre naturally aspirated flat-six ‘Mezger’ engine, officially producing 375bhp, but in reality likely north of 390bhp, coupled to a slick six-speed manual transmissionSignificant weight saving over the GT3 offers 280bhp per tonFactory finished in Carrera White with classic red detailingPorsche confirmed original specification including; Clubsport interior with red harnesses, A/C, front cage and extinguisherSuperb overall condition supported by a comprehensive history file including original service book and spare keyPorsche introduced the Porsche 911 GT3RS in 2003 as an even more track-focused version of the 996 GT3 with the ‘RS’ moniker, characteristic lightweight blue or red wheels and ‘GT3 RS’ decals all evocative of historically important Porsches such as the Carrera 2.7RS of the early 1970s. The RS is lighter than its GT3 sibling, due to the use of a polycarbonate rear window and a carbon fibre bonnet and rear wing and has a slightly different engine specification to the 996 GT3, with the cylinder heads having reshaped intake and exhaust ports to comply with motorsport ‘homologation’ regulations. The wheel carriers are totally redesigned to maximize the improved dynamic camber control, the suspension top mounts can be turned 120 degrees to a "Cup Car" position and both front and rear control arms are adjustable. During the 996 GT3 RS production run from 2003 to 2005, Porsche built only 140 right-hand drive cars and 113 of those were officially imported into to the UK.This C-16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive 996 GT3 RS is finished in Carrera White with red decals and detailing and presents in superb condition throughout. The car has the usual GT3 RS specification and benefits from options including a Black Clubsport interior with red harnesses, a factory-fitted half cage, air-conditioning, ‘Lightronic’ lights, centre console, top-tint screen, CDR23 CD player and a fire extinguisher.Most recently, this RS had been subject to a major service at an independent Porsche specialist with a new battery and A/C re-gas at 31,772 miles and the invoice for this is in the detailed history file along with the original service book/service history supporting the indicated mileage of 31,836.Our vendor, a knowledgeable private collector purchased this example at 29,247 miles and sensibly commissioned a thorough independent inspection report (on file) that summarises this example as; a good honest RS with no evidence of hard track use or serious accident history. No doubt a genuine RS that has not been altered from factory specification in any way. Since purchase eight years ago, this special RS has covered less than 2,000 light miles and always been correctly dry stored.Today, the 996 GT3RS is finally starting to find its feet in the collector car market, rightly regarded as a precious low volume ‘homologation’ special that offers a raw and exciting driving experience. With a total production of just 682 and a mere 140 in right-hand drive, you can rest assured that when the petrol engine is no longer in production, these special RS Porsche will be a must-have in all significant collections. One can only speculate what could happen to values with high demand and low availability.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -996Year: 2004Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z4S691041Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 63426588 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 31836 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

A stunning, low mileage, 997 Turbo with a manual gearbox and impressive options list.Spectacular in Guards Red paintwork with a black leather interior and heated sports seatsImpressive specification including, sport-chrono plus, park assist, sun roof and short-shift gearchangeLow mileage supported by a full Porsche main dealer service history, most recent visit at 17,445 milesAccompanied by a history file including its original Porsche book pack, original service book and paper invoices, current MOT and V5cN.B. The registration number illustrated in the attached photographs does not form part of the saleThe Porsche 911 needs little in the way of introduction and the signature model of the road car line-up has, since 1975, always been the Turbo. When it first appeared, the 911 Turbo was something to be feared and drivers clung on to this fearsome thing, its 258bhp making it one of the quickest production cars on sale. Each successive generation saw the 911 Turbo become more powerful and better resolved. By the time the water-cooled 996 generation car appeared in 1999, the Turbo had become genuinely civilised; rocket-ship fast but civilised nonetheless. The 997 generation 911 was an evolution of the 996 with many changes designed to improve quality whilst retaining that car's winning blend of performance and usability.Although the 911(997) Carrera models appeared in 2004, it wasn't until 2006 that the Turbo version was finally launched. First shown at that year's Geneva Show, it was initially offered as a Coupe (and later as a cabriolet) with an impressive specification. The Mezger 3.6-litre engine was continued, now producing 480bhp at 6,000 rpm and featuring VarioCam Plus and a pair of clever Borg-Warner variable geometry turbochargers, a totally new technology for Porsche. With a manual gearbox, the 997 Turbo requires just 3.9 seconds to reach 62mph and will go on to 193mph. Power is transmitted to all four wheels with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) which utilises an electronically controlled, multi-plate clutch. This intelligent technology provides variable drive to each axle. The front/rear split is continuously adjusted based on current road conditions and driver inputs. Although biased towards the rear, the front receives more power whenever the situation requires.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 2008 Porsche 911(997) Turbo Generation I which, importantly, means it utilises the well-proven and legendary Mezger race-derived engine, which has a bulletproof reputation. Finished in Guards Red with black leather interior this Turbo had been specified with a very impressive options list including; colour coded red seatbelts, centre console and red tail lamps. Further options ticked included heated sports seats, park assist, sunshine-roof, sport-chrono plus, short-shift gear selector, top-tint screen and some ‘aluminium look’ interior furniture.Accompanying this example is a comprehensive history file including the original Porsche book-pack with the original service book stamped up-to-date. The service history is full Porsche main agent with the most recent visit at 17,445 miles. The private plate shown in some of our marketing will be retained by the current owner and the car will be offered on its original number NA08 VWC.Having covered just 18,598, miles this stunning Turbo presents extremely well. Clearly cared for over the years, the exterior paintwork retains a deep gloss and the interior show very little wear. Overall the condition of this Turbo is excellent and for piece of mind the most recent service is also accompanied by a Porsche Health Check available for inspection on request. On test the car fired up on the button and performed without fault.In summary, this is a great opportunity to own a modern classic 911 Turbo in a fabulous colour combination with the desirable manual gearbox, impressive options list and low mileage supported by a full Porsche service history. Offered from a private Porsche enthusiast due to a change in circumstances as a result of recent events. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TURBOYear: 2008Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ9928S782210Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 62806794Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 18595 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: Black LeatherClick here for more details and images

The registration number illustrated in the attached photographs does not form part of the saleIn February 2006, Porsche revealed the first generation 997 GT3 which, in addition to a new 415bhp, 3.6-litre, flat-six engine featured ‘zero-lift’ aerodynamics, meaning the car creates only aerodynamic downforce and no grip-diminishing ‘lift’. The new model made use of a modified, race-developed version of Porsche's active suspension making it the first of Porsche's RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically adjustable suspension system. The six-speed manual transmission was also adapted to the new GT3 engine's extended power band with better-matched gear ratios and consequently, performance was impressive with a 0-62 mph time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 193 miles per hour (311 km/h). The GT3 returned to the styling of the original, with a sculpted flowing rear spoiler rather than the flat-slab RS variety.Offered here is a C-16, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Porsche 911(997) GT3 specified in Basalt Black Metallic with a black interior and black carpets. Supplied new by Porsche Centre Cardiff and first registered on 10 January 2007, to date this lovely GT3 has covered only 16,400 miles supported by MOTs and a detailed service history with all maintenance carried out by Porsche main agents. The most recent entry into the service book was a regular two-year inspection by Porsche Centre Tonbridge at 13,989 miles, supported by paper invoices in the history file.The condition of this GT3 is excellent and Porsche inspection reports within the history file leave little doubt that this is a good, straight original example. The black paintwork retains a deep gloss and is even across the car, the high-quality interior shows little signs of wear if any as you might expect with such low mileage.Accompanying this example is the aforementioned history file which contains old MOTs, inspection reports, old warranty paperwork, details of the Vehicle Tracking System fitted and the original service book stamped up-to-date. Also included is a Porsche battery conditioner, spare key and a fitted indoor car cover.The first generation 997 GT3 is rightfully becoming increasingly sought after by both enthusiasts and collectors. Aesthetically pleasing with good presence, a beautifully finished cabin in high-quality Alcantara and fitted with a spectacular 415bhp 3.6-litre engine. Good examples are few and far between so, if you have a GT3 on your radar, Silverstone Auctions welcome your enquiry on this fine example.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -997Year: 2007Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99Z7S790665Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 16400 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

One of just seven examples of this rare Turbo Cabriolet with the 5-speed box and only 33,168 miles.One of only fifty genuine factory-produced 930 SE low-build cars.Built by the Special Wishes Department, the ‘Flachbau’ cars were essentially normal 930 Turbos with the dramatic, 935-style, sloping front endEquipped with an uprated engine of 330bhp (from 300), Dual-Exit exhaust and a limited-slip differentialUpgraded interior featuring a unique centre console, heated front seats, steering wheel and gear lever knob with a gold insertStunning colour combination of White Pearl with a matching leather interior33,168 miles corroborated by 16 service stampsExpenditure of over £45,000 in 2017One of only 7 C-16 UK cars built in 1989, this really is the Holy GrailAnyone who followed the ‘World Championship of Makes’ (essentially an International championship for long-distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new Porsche 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently, these ‘Flatnose’ 935s and 936s (in Group 6) were to prove very competitive in the hands of Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. However, Porsche began to worry that all these victories by the works Flatnose cars might alienate the vast number of private clients who were investing their own money in conventionally-shaped competition 911s, and decided to restrict their efforts for 1978 to an entry at Le Mans.The distinctive look of the "Flachbau" (literally translated as Low Build) obviously retained its appeal in the minds of their road car customers and, from 1981 until early 1989, Porsche 930 Turbo buyers could specify their car in this style to special order. Just 50 ‘C16’ cars were manufactured for the UK-market, initially equipped with an uprated engine of 330bhp (from 300) mated to a 4-speed transmission. However, at the end of 1988, the uprated 5-Speed G50 gearbox was introduced, dramatically easing the peaks in power delivery by reducing the effects of 'turbo-lag'. The factory SE also benefited from a dual-exit exhaust system, limited-slip differential, heated front seats and a sunroof.This example is a genuine, factory-produced, C-16, Porsche 930 Turbo SE G50 Cabriolet built in 1989 under the ‘Sonderwunchprogramm' (Special Wishes Programme). It’s superbly finished in White Pearl with a matching leather interior and has covered just 33,168 miles in the hands of three private owners prior to spending time in two of the highest-profile exclusive collections in the UK since 2014.It’s supplied with an extensive history file detailing expenditure of over £45,000 lavished on this stunning Porsche during 2017 to ensure that it presents today in the best possible condition for an enthusiast or collector alike. The history file also contains all its previous MOTs and the service book displays sixteen service stamps helping to corroborate the indicated mileage.With only seven C-16 examples of this specific model produced in 1989, this really is the 'Holy Grail' when considering a 930 and we would welcome any inspection of this rather special Porsche.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TURBO SE FLATNOSE CABRIOLETYear: 1989Chassis Number: WPOZZZ93ZKSO20243Transmission: manualEngine Number: 67K00949Odometer Reading: 33168 Make: Interior Colour: WHITE LEATHERClick here for more details and images

By 1989, the final versions were offering 330bhp, which when coupled with the new G50 5-speed gearbox, propelled the car up to a top speed of 162mph and a 0-60 was covered in just 4.9 seconds. Porsche enthusiasts often consider the 930 of 1989 to be the ultimate incarnation, as it was the only year that this model was fitted with the 5-speed G50 gearbox which offered ratios better suited to the Turbo's power delivery, and 1989 was the last year of production of the iconic which makes it just that bit 'special' .This particular, privately owned, car was acquired by our vendor in 2013 since which time it has covered just 2,200 miles. The total mileage of 57,888 is confirmed and backed up by previous MOT Certificates in the comprehensive history file which accompanies the car.It was supplied new as a UK C16 car through Maltin Porsche of Henley on Thames on the first of August 1989 to a Mr John Glashan from Liverpool, but was then registered to a Mr John Rix of Bridgend very shortly afterwards. The original maintenance/service book is very well stamped throughout and reflects a full service history with main dealers and recognised specialist dealers. In addition to the full original book pack there are many invoices on file, one of which confirms an engine rebuild with new Porsche original pistons and liners in 2004 at 43,000 miles, costing £7,568 at the time.More recently the car has returned from MLR Independent Porsche Specialists where work has included stripping out the interior and fitting new carpets as well as retrimming the interior. Additionally, the roof has also been replaced, fitted with new motors and realigned and at the same time the engine was removed for a service and various seals and gaskets replaced. The total expenditure in 2021 on these various items adds up to over £4,500 and the detailed invoices are on file.Available now - with a fresh MOT and all outstanding work completed - and at an attractive guide, this is a great car with which to enjoy the forthcoming Spring and Summer weather as we emerge from lock-down and start to enjoy using our classics once again with a guaranteed smile-a-mile in this final evolution of the legendary 930 Turbo.  Our vendor is currently awaiting the V5c from DVLA following a cherished plate transfer.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 TURBO CABRIOLETYear: 1989Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ93ZKS020217Transmission: ManualEngine Number: 67K00714 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 58000 MilesMake: RHDClick here for more details and images

In 1986 Porsche launched its very first one-make series, the Turbo Cup.One of only 40, 944 Cup cars built in 1986 and originally supplied to Porsche OrlandoRaced in SCCA events in 1986, then stored until 2019 prior to being imported to the UK. Lightly used since and currently showing 14,615 milesSubject to a thorough mechanical recommission by The Body Werkes in October 2020. Invoice on fileSupplied with two keys, driver’s manual, history file, MOT and UK registrationWe welcome inspection of this very rare, exciting and desirable road-legal Porsche racerIn 1986 Porsche launched its very first one-make series, the Turbo Cup. Privateers could purchase a Porsche 944 Turbo with option codes 220-LSD, 666–without body preservation, and 751–Motorsport preparation. The Cup cars were powered by the same 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine found in the road cars and the power and torque figures were broadly similar.It is estimated that there were some 250-300 Turbo Cups made between 1986 and 1999 to race in various series all over the world, however, only 40 were made in the first year 1986 and these cars unlike ‘87-88 cars were more road-friendly. Unlike the later cars, not all the changes are as well documented, however, the following are key identifiers of these cars.Magnesium intake manifold and sump, factory-fitted 8-point Matter bolt-in roll cage, 16 x 8 front and 16 x 9 rear Fuchs wheels (these were the only 944s to have these wheels fitted, later Cup cars had magnesium tele-dials), drivers-side Recaro Porsche racing seat with 4-point harness, and standard passenger-side bucket seat, no power steering, air-con, any electric mirrors, seats windows etc., no paint and body protection (option code 666), Turbo Cup chassis Europe (option code 751), and a 40% locking differential (option code 220).According to a letter from Porsche in the accompanying history file, this particular left-hand drive 944 was manufactured on the 25th February 1986 to USA-specification. It goes on to say that the car has the following equipment: Locking differential, without lacquer and chrome presentation, Motorsport vehicle ‘Type 951 USA’.Our vendor explains that this Cup Car was originally supplied to Porsche Orlando in 1986 and was never actually titled but raced in SCCA events throughout 1986. It was subsequently stored for many years until the current owner, a private UK collector, bought it and imported it to the UK in 2019. The odometer shows 14,615 miles which could well be correct given the amount of time this particular example has spent in storage.Upon arriving here, the 944 was sent for a thorough mechanical recommission by Steve Monk at ‘The Body Werkes’ in October 2020. There is an invoice on file showing the details, which includes new tyres, an MOT, and an engine service including cambelt, water pump etc. The car has covered just 800 miles in the UK and the most recent MOT was passed on 11/01/2021 at 14,592 miles.UK road registration was also successfully obtained, all of which means that this very rare car is ready for its next owner to join a very exclusive club of ‘86 944 Turbo Cup cars, whose flexibility and usability provides the option of being able to drive to the track, enjoy a dynamic drive around a circuit of choice, and drive home again.Supplied with two keys, the driver’s manual, the aforementioned history file, MOT and UK registration, we welcome inspection of this very rare, interesting and desirable road-legal Porsche racer. SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 944 TURBO CUPYear: 1986Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ95ZGN154078Engine Number: 45G06129 Make: Click here for more details and images

A super 993 Turbo looking particularly purposeful with factory Turbo S rear wings.UK-supplied, C-16, right-hand drive, 993 Turbo with an interesting specificationPresenting very well finished in Ocean Blue with Classic Grey leather interiorIndicating just over 86,000 miles supported by a large and detailed history fileRecent invoices include an engine rebuild with new turbo seals at a Porsche specialistSpecified with X79 ‘Turbo S’ rear wings, carbon gear lever, and carbon handbrakeHandsome, high-performance 911 Turbo, the end of the air-cooled era and highly collectableThe 993 Turbo, introduced in mid-1995, retained a tight hold on the torch of the most powerful 911 variant whilst continuing the general developments and improvements to the breed as a whole. Amongst the new features, was an electronically controlled, viscous coupling, all-wheel-drive system, something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959 and a system that greatly improved the car's usability. Under the engine lid, now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges, resided the 3.6-litre, flat-six fed by twin K16 turbos. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and a lower stance, the 993 Turbo had evolved into one of the fastest cars on the planet. With all four wheels helping to evenly distribute great handfuls of power, 0-60mph was dispatched in a staggering 3.7 seconds, 100mph whistled by in 5.7 seconds, and the linear forward thrust continued until the speedometer needle had said goodbye to 180mph and you were on conversational terms with the horizon.Offered here is a beautiful UK-supplied (C-16) 993 Turbo finished in Ocean Blue with Classic Grey leather interior, a colour combination that really suits the car. First registered on 5 January 1997 this example benefits from an interesting option list including ‘Turbo S’ body with side air vents on rear wings (X79), Carbon gear knob, carbon handbrake, leather-covered CD storage, electrically adjustable sports seats, top-tint screen and a sunshine roof. The speedometer indicated just 86,375 miles at the time of cataloguing and this mileage is supported by a detailed maintenance record.Forming part of our vendor’s landmark performance car collection for 11 years, this Turbo has always been dry stored and used when good weather permits. Clearly well maintained, within the history file is the original Porsche book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date, most recently all fluids and filters at 86,375 miles, February 2021. The file also contains a wealth of invoices for recent attention including an engine rebuild with new cam-shafts, valve guides, piston-rings and turbo seals (£16,000+), current V5c, old MOTs, tracker documents and a current MOT valid until 4 February 2022.This is a great opportunity to acquire a car that is still considered blisteringly fast some two decades after its production ceased, yet is as docile and friendly as any 911 from the era. It's equally at home in the lanes of Somerset or blasting down the Autoroute to the Cote d'Azur but either way, as a super example of the last of the air-cooled Turbos, it will become increasingly sought after as the years go by.SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 911 -993Year: 1997Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ99ZVS370435Transmission: ManualDrive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 86500 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: GreyClick here for more details and images

Lot 260

Simply lovely example of one of the rarest (1 of 100 worldwide in RHD) and most sought-after Porsches from the 1990s.The 944 Turbo Cabriolet combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by ASC at WeinsbergOnly 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African marketsFinished in striking Cobalt Blue Metallic with matching interior and hoodExcellent maintenance history, recent £4,000-plus worth of work done at Porsche specialists ‘Autofarm’Letter from the original owner stating that they used AFN Reading for servicing and passed the car on to their sonFollowing the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre, inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. These carry eccentric weights which produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, all a bit technical but the result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six. Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward. A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and the forced-induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, necessitating an upgraded clutch and gearbox. The chassis was further developed and thicker anti-roll bars and four-pot brake calipers were fitted to deal with the significantly increased performance. Externally, a smoother nose panel and a larger rear spoiler distinguished it from its lesser siblings. In February 1991, the final year of 944 production, Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet which combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg. Compared to the Coupe, the Cabriolet's windscreen is lowered about 6cm and raked back to reduce the wind noise when the top is down. Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made, but ultimately 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African markets. These are rare cars, produced for just one year, with only 32 examples believed to still reside in the UK.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 1991 Porsche 944 Turbo Cabriolet finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic with matching interior, a combination a 944 from the nineties pulls off with aplomb!It has covered just 78,000 miles (approx.) and remains in very good condition. In the early days it was regularly maintained at, amongst others, Porsche AFN of Reading, Porsche specialists ‘RSR Engineering’ of Hampshire and later ‘Northway Porsche Ltd.’ of Berkshire. In August 2020, our vendor entrusted it to renowned Porsche specialists ‘Autofarm’ of Oxfordshire, where a full inspection and follow-up work was carried out.The car is supplied with an original driver’s manual, numerous invoices for regular maintenance (including cam-belt replacements), and older MOT Certificates, which help corroborate the indicated mileage.Now being sold from part of an enthusiast's collection, we are informed the car has recently benefited from a full service (including cam-belt) in 2020. Bought by our vendor from a Porsche specialist, unfortunately, a change in circumstances now means he must sell the car. This fabulous, open-top, Porsche has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, really well. This is a simply lovely example of one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsches from the 1990s. The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the '911 explosion' and front-engined Porsches are having the Renaissance they richly deserve. This great example, whilst being competitively guided, opens the door into a very exclusive club.(N.B. the registration number of E8 RPR will not come with the car, it will revert to J45 MJR ) SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 944 TURBO CABRIOLETYear: 1991Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ95ZMN130376Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 47M01059 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 78757 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images
