About this specific vehicle
Newly registered to its current owner on the 7th of July 2010, this car is a pristine example and stands out within the market. Finished in resplendent Porsche Solid Carrera White, extended to the front lower lip and side skirts (at optional cost) and sporting perfectly turned 19” RS Spyder Design centre-locking alloy wheels; this truly is a handsomely styled car which has stood the test of time both in design and condition.
Costing circa £114,000.00 when purchased, this particular example features some must-have added extras for any Turbo including: the aforementioned RS Spyder Alloys and body coloured skirts and lips; Special order Cocoa leather interior; Heated Adaptive Sports Seats; Cruise Control; Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) and the all important Sports Chrono pack. This, teamed with the obvious mobile phone preparation, multimedia interface and park assist highlights the versatility of the 911 Turbo: A comfortable, luxurious daily driver which at the pull of a paddle becomes a ballistic, mile munching GT Sports car.
A testament to its one and only owner, this car has been maintained solely at Official Porsche Centre Belfast. As expected from a car of such low mileage, the car saw most of its use in its early years covering 2495 miles, before going into storage and being used sparingly over the next decade. Most recently in June 2024, the car underwent a 12 Year service at OPC Belfast, receiving a clean bill of health alongside Engine, PDK and Brake servicing making the car ready for its next owner.
This car spent most of its life cosseted in a large collection of performance cars. Whilst in the owners stewardship, the car has been stored correctly and used sparingly (circa 200 miles a year). This makes for a rare time-warp example of the last truly small bodied 911 turbo, before the Stuttgart brand was purchased by the giants at VAG Group; ideal for investors, collectors and enthusiasts alike.
