A factory RHD 1989 930 is a rare item, with less than 200 made, unfortunately none of which were delivered to Australia new. So, if you want the ultimate factory specification 930, you have to pick a good one from the UK, which can be a bit tricky, especially for people who don’t come from areas that sprinkle rust (salt...) on their winter roads. Where this particular example, chassis #712, differs from its circa 116 other siblings, is that it was ordered for South Africa, but was bounced to its 1st owner in Singapore, supposedly having never set a wheel in SA. Sold via Stuttgart Auto, Porsche AG’s official distributor for Singapore, the car was sold early in its life, circa 1990 to the 2nd owner, who owned and loved the car for the next 26 years, bringing the 930 to Australia, as a personal import circa 1999.

Come 2016 the 930 was purchased by the current owner, who was startled to see a genuine RHD 1989 930 for sale locally, especially a car that had been in a dry climate its whole life. I too was startled, as I didn’t think such an example existed! A deal was done and the 3rd owner set about detailing and improving the car, as only a Porsche enthusiast with a fresh set of eyes can. A complete engine rebuild was decided upon, a decision based on the engine being 30 years old, not on any glaring, outstanding mechanical issues. A new clutch and a raft of all the other “while you’re there” stuff was done by the Porsche experts at DHM in Brisbane, during the rebuild period.

Chassis #712 presents beautifully, has its logbooks from new and a nice paper trail of documentation, that every classic Porsche buyer likes to read. Now showing 125K Km’s and with only 3 owners from new, the 4th owner of this excellent, matching numbers example, of Porsche’s sublime 930 will be most impressed with the caring attitude of the previous owners and hopefully follow suit.
