I have been looking to upgrade to a Turbo / Turbo S and spotted this one. I think VAT may need to be added to the price as listed, am I correct?

No, you're not. VAT qualifying means that the purchase price includes VAT which can be recovered by 1) eligible businesses - these include hire &lease firms, funeral directors & taxi firms, but the list is very short and 2) anyone exporting the car outside the EU.

If neither of these apply to you and you wouldn't be looking to buy through a contract hire or lease company then ignore the fact that it's VAT qualifying, it makes no difference to you, the price is the same either way.

Now sold.

Why so cheap though? Surely that's something like 30k off list price if it sold for 87k

Sold mine for cheaper to OPC last year but had more mileage. If has porsche warranty not bad.

Prices will come down as new model introduced.

Late 997 Turbo prices under pressure ahead of arrival of new model due on showrooms soon. Suspect a few more bargains to come.

That sounds like a 'daily planet' headline!
