930 Production Numbers

[TonyJersey]

Hi there, I wondered if anyone knew how many of the original 74 C16/UK 3.0 930 were left? Also, were the annual production figures 22 in '75, 18 in '76, and 34 in '77?

I've recently bought a wonderful example from Phil at Tech 9 in Liverpool - TAW 714R - and joined the Club again after an absence of nearly 30 years!

Best wishes,

Tony

Hi Tony, congratulations on your purchase and welcome back to the Club. (Did you have a 3.0 930 previously?).

I own c/no: 225 from 1975. PCGB confirmed your stated production figures to me some years back when I enquired and I have kept the confirmation received from them. I am trying to keep a record of them, as and when they surface. I have details of just 13 of them so far. I do have your car on record as being restored by Tech 9.

For your information and other 3.0 930 owners too, as well as our own Club forum, you should be aware of a site dedicated to 3.0 930 cars. Perversely, it is on the Ferrari website ferrarichat.com and the content is staggering with over 7000 postings and nearly 1m views. They are totally fanatical about these cars! See below:

Hi,

Many thanks for for the info. I'm on the ferrarichat site so will check it out.

I never had a 3.0 before, but an '80 3.3, then new '87 SSE Cab, then new 964 3.3.

I took a couple of photos of a new German registered 3.0 in 1977 here in Jersey (still have the photos) and wanted one pretty much since then!

I'd love to know details of the 13 UK 3.0s you've managed to track down. It would be great to have a Meet one day. I'd certainly be prepared to drive over to England if that occurred.

Cheers,

Tony

hello all, does anyone know production numbers of a rhd 88 930 Targa Turbo ?

 

[Timspu]

From the info i had there were around 60 brought into the UK, not sure how many other RHD around the world. Total production numbers were low to mid 200's world wide. A rare car to own , really brilliant machine.

 

[Lc99g]

I did think that they were quite low numbers, just need to get a few jobs done now for the summer. Thank you.

 

[John_Ward]

Can't give you the figure for 1988, but for model years 1988 and 1989 there were 58 X UK spec 930 targas, plus 3 X 930 SE targas.

 

[Lc99g]

Thanks John,
i see in your list of cars that you have an 89 S targa, is that the same as an se or different ? Apologies for the ignorance the only other Porsche’s I’ve had was a 911 T and an 89 G50 Turbo.

 

[John_Ward]

It's a bitsa - a stolen / recovered 930 rebuilt into a narrow bodied 911 targa shell and with a new engine built to 964 turbo S spec......perfect for summer in the Devon lanes.

 

[Lc99g]

That explains it. Must be fun.

I have a Haynes Porsche data book and it advises the following for world wide Production total number:
Turbo Targa MY 1987 to MY 1988 = 193
Turbo Cabriolet MY 1987 to MY 1988 = 918
Turbo Coupe MY 1978 to My 1988 = 14,476
Turbo Targa MY 1989 = 104
Turbo Cabriolet MY 1989 = 724
Turbo Coupe MY 1989 = 1376

This book demonstrates the rarity of the Targa Turbo.

Hi
Very interesting read about all the production number of The Turbo's of the late 80's.
In addition to 2 other Porsche, I have just purchased a 1988 Carrera 3.2 Targa Sport and I am trying to find out has much history of the car as possible.
Do you know how many RHD versions of this model were bought into the UK?
Many thanks

Sorry Chris - I've only got the figures for the 930s.
Have you tried the 3.2 Carrera Register section?
Cheers

Hi Martin, thanks for the info on your car but we seem to have got "cross threaded" in that I was responding to POR911's post about his 1975 3.0 car c/no 199.
Your car looks lovely though and great that you have owned it so long!
Chris.

 

[POR911R]

Hi there Chris, yes the car was UK registered to Lord Normanton. PTS Mexico blue.
I have the Snodgrass book (he kindly signed book number 199 to match the car) and it is listed in there.
the list would be great, thank you. I can cross reference with the book.
Probably better on email paul@stay365.com

I have 46 and have owned it since the late 90s.
