This 930 is a rare Belgian delivered car by the renowned Porsche Importer D’Ieteren. It was delivered new to its first owner, a doctor, in Brussels on the 15th of July 1977. This gentleman kept the car for 8 years and subsequently sold it to a private collector in Pennsylvania in 1985. The car was kept in his private collection till 2010, when the car returned to its country of first delivery to a new Belgian owner. Coincidentally, this owner was also from Brussels. After 5 years of ownership, the Turbo was sold for a third and final time to another Belgian collector from which we have acquired the car. Throughout its 45 years of existence, this 930 has had only 4 owners, which have all been documented. The registration documents starting from its trip to the US and subsequently the 2 Belgian owners are still present with the car to add to the history of the car. When the last owner acquired the car, it was in need of some mechanical refresh. During his seven years of ownership, a total of 30.000€ was spent to bring the car back into a mechanically top condition. Under his ownership, an engine rebuild was also recently performed.
When looking at the exterior of this 930, we can find the beautiful colour of Platinum. This is a gold/ beige metallic colour that suits the 930 very well. This gives a great contrast with the black stone chipping guards on the side of the car and the black rubber trim parts on the front spoiler and rear wing. When continuing on the outside, we can see that this Turbo is still fitted with all the correct details, with which it left the factory. This includes the fixing of only one rear mirror, that is mounted on the driver’s side and the anodized trim around the windows of the car. On the back of this Turbo, we can find the rare and 3.0 specific rear spoiler. These were replaced by the whale tail on its successor and are a distinct feature for the 3.0L models.
Going over to the interior of this car, we can find a very unique and stylish dark green leather interior. This works extremely well with the Platinum Metallic exterior colour and gives this car a very nice touch. The interior has a very nice patina throughout and the leather is still very supple and free of any scratches or rips. The carpet of this 930 is very thick and also finished in dark green to complement the rest of the interior. Currently, a more recent model of radio has been fitted, but an period correct unit is still present and will be delivered with the car. To aid in the usability of this Turbo, the first owner specified the car with a sunroof. This is a very nice option to use on summer drives or even sunny winter drives. This is a fully automated system and is in perfect working order.
