As we come to the end of a wonderful summer, our attentions turn towards the annual Porsche Sale on Friday, 28 September. We’ve seen some incredible results for Porsches throughout the year, and my team has done a great job bringing together another fantastic collection of cars for the sale. It will be exciting to see their hard work come to fruition.
The new venue for the sale is the award-winning Dallas Burston Polo Club, set in 600 acres of glorious Warwickshire countryside. And thanks to the increased accessibility of the site, we’re thrilled to be able to offer Porsche Club GB members the opportunity to view the cars on Thursday, 27 September.
Highlights of the Porsche Sale include an amazing 1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo G 50 in timeless Baltic Blue, with a cream leather interior complemented by blue piping. This car is in incredible condition and is a fantastic example of the classic whale tail Porsches.
A 1998 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo built up to the fabled S spec by the factory for a VIP customer is certain to draw the eyes at the sale. It’s finished in Polar Silver with a
black interior and an incredible 3.6-litre turbocharged flat six producing 444bhp. And for those not in the market for a 911, we have a rare 1994 968 Club Sport – one of only 179 right-hand drive UK cars. Finished in black with the trademark Club Sport decals and black interior, the Club Sport is 100kg lighter than the standard 968 and was named Performance Car Of The Year in 1993 by Performance Car magazine.
For those with slightly deeper pockets, one of the rarest cars on offer at the sale is
a wonderful 1963 Porsche 356 C Carrera 2 2000 GS Coupe. As one of only six right-hand drive cars of its type ever built, this incredible vehicle will definitely cause a stir. Finished in Bali Blue with an exquisite black leather interior, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of these extraordinary Porsches.
Don’t worry if you’re unable to attend the Porsche Sale, you can still take part. Simply bid online through Proxibid, by phone or by commission.
