In common with many vehicles from the vendor’s collection, the car comes with no bills, invoices or receipts for work carried out over the years.

But what it does have is a fully stamped service book, showing that the car was delivered new to Italy, was in Germany in 2002, moved to Belgium in 2006 and finally made its way to the vendor’s static display collection in 2007.

In all those years it has amassed just 59,000 kms and has managed to stay in extraordinarily good condition, inside and out.

With the proviso that we haven’t started or driven this car and can therefore only comment on its cosmetic appearance, we think this manual LHD 1987 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo looks to be in first-class condition and has the appearance of a car that has been very well cared for throughout its life.

The chassis number is WPOZZZ93ZHS000158.

This metallic silver car with a dark brown/maroon leather interior looks very striking and has the unmistakably squat, aggressive stance and wide haunches that are the visual hallmarks of the 930 Turbo.

The paintwork is bright, shiny and in possession of plenty of depth and lustre.

The bodywork looks to have no dinks, dents, creases or folds of significance that we can see.

The panels are straight and even.

The trim, badging, lights, lenses and other exterior fixtures and fittings are all as they should be.

The wheels are equally impressive.

The ‘tea-tray’ spoiler is firm and the rubber is in good condition.

There is a slight scuff and a small kink in the inner rim of the passenger-side rear wheel arch, and a couple of paint chips on the front wheel arch on the same side.

There’s also a couple of scratches on the roof, some scuffed rubber at the bottom of the front valance, and a couple of thin scuffs on the driver’s side rear wing.

The interior of the car is equally impressive and is far more in keeping with the car’s low kilometres than its 35 years of life.

The leather upholstery is in excellent order, and the seats are showing very few signs of wear other than a couple of scuffs at the side of the driver’s seat cushion.

The door cards (the pockets of which currently contain the car’s number plate holders) are very good, as is the headlining, the dashboard, the steering wheel, gear selector and all other interior bits and pieces.

There are a few light scuffs to the dashboard padding above the instrument cluster.

We can’t make any claims about the functionality of switches, knobs, levers, toggles, buttons, dials or other electrics as we haven’t tried to start or drive the vehicle.

The undersides of this car look to have a decent amount of structural integrity.

The engine (what we can see of it), looks clean, dry and tidy.

This car doesn’t come with any history but it does have a fully stamped service book (most of which is with Porsche main dealers), with the intervals as follows.

• 23.09.87 - Delivery in Italy
• 5.10.87 - Service - 1,050 kms
• 25.1.88 - Service - 8,900 kms

• Feb.2000 - Service - 45,865 kms

It must be registered in the country of your choice and you will need to contact the appropriate vehicle licensing agency for instructions on how to do this.

None of the paperwork shown in the gallery in any way constitutes any kind of licensing or registration certification.

The documents in the photo gallery are photocopies.

Provided that the engine and mechanicals prove to be as good as the rest of this exceptional vehicle, then this 1987 911 (930) Turbo - with a fully stamped service book - must surely be one of the best preserved you could hope to find anywhere.
