Which 930 and how much?

[Jonny TVR]

I'm looking at 911s and to me as an eighties child it has to be a 930 and instinctively I want a turbo coupe with a 5 speed. Or should I consider a super sports? I know the usual things to look out for on classic cars but is there anything particularly on a 930? Also tge prices seem all over and I'm struggling to figure out what's reasonable for each. It would have to be a very good example.

Thank you all .. I think for me it still has to be a 930.

There is a restored one on CC https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1989-porsche-9... that I'm very interested in but imagine that it will go for a very strong price.

Thanks 456 .. I was more wondering what would be a reasonable price for it.

Is that the one restored by Leeds as part of the restoration competition?

What do you mean Leeds?

supersport said:

Yep, need to dig out photos and check.

I would appreciate it.

Oddly I can't find any photos, I will ask around.

At this point I don't know if it is the same car, maybe the description will shed light when it arrives. (It does have JCT600 plates on it though).

The PC Leeds car was Guards red with air con. I saw it being dismantled, and the bare shell before it was repaired. Also got to have a good sniff around when it was complete. I remember it handing around for a while and when eventually sold it seemed expensive.

I am guessing the CC car is part of that very nice collection that is going up for sale, the "garage" it is in looks to be the same.

Thank you .. can you remember how much it was selling for at the time?

Thanks simmo but its not the same car. Wrong year and no red piping. Gives a good idea on price

[Jonny TVR]

It looks amazing.

Reading a lot on eighties SSE and turbo's. I can now see a lot of merit in the SSE over the turbo. Or would I always be thinking of a turbo if I got an SSE. I've seen a beautiful fully restored SSE for sale that ticks all the boxes. Its a targa which I like the idea of too.

Absolutely magnificent things, I loved my G50. As mentioned, heavy in the slow stuff but it was in its element on the fast open roads in Europe. Epic in the Alps. Sold mine for about £29k with 48,000 miles on it....

Looks stunning was it a turbo or SSE?

[Jonny TVR]

SSE or turbo?

[Jonny TVR]

Thanks wozy and mach.

I've never driven a 911 and I have resisted them for years. I'm thinking of taking the plunge. Initially I was thinking a 930 but I'm starting to like 964/ 993's. I'm used to cars with lots of power so its got to be a turbo. Its very different to the other cars I have which is part of what interests me too. I thought about the SSE as there was a beautiful fully restored one for sale but I know it would be too under powered. I'm thinking of bidding on this one:

Which 964 do you have?

[Jonny TVR]

You.porsche guys have been great in sharing your thoughts and knowledge thank you. My feeling now is that I need a 964 turbo. I can't really stretch to a 3.6 so would have to be a 3.3. The two below caught my eye.

The 930 looks amazing but I already have the eighties supercar in my testarossa and I need to think about my use of it.

Congratulations. You will have to let me know what you think of it.

That red one is stunning.

The Blue one looks nice too, a bit more understated and should be fresh as a daisy.

Blue is my colour too!!

[Jonny TVR]

HI James, I'm thinking about bidding. Why a 964 turbo for you?
