Across the Collecting Cars global auction platform, Porsche remains the most-transacted and most-watched marque, with demand for 911s of all eras still robust. Some models sold with them have seen significant price rises over the last 12 months, but it is important not to assume that a rising tide lifts all boats. Securing a strong result in today’s market comes down to ensuring that a car ticks all the right boxes. The buyers are out there, ready with strong bids and offers, but they have grown even more discerning.
Porsche 911 models in high demand
Over recent months, certain generations and variants of 911 have seen average sold prices rise, with one of the common themes being those from the later stages of the air-cooled era, blending updated designs and modern-era comforts like air conditioning with the classic Porsche driving experience. Collecting Cars have highlighted five models below that are seeing particularly strong bidding and high sale rates.
Porsche 930 Turbo
The original ‘Widowmaker’ continues to be a sought-after air-cooled classic. The most desirable variants are those from the first year of production, as well as the 1989 model-year cars equipped with the G50 gearbox, but ultimately all 930 Turbos carry poster-car icon status. Expect to pay £80,000+ in the UK, €90,000+ in the EU, and A$175,000+ in APAC.
Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3
As the bridge between the classic 930 silhouette and modern chassis dynamics, the 964 Turbo 3.3 is enjoying a major renaissance. Its muscular stance, relative rarity, and raw single-turbo power delivery make it highly prized. Expect to pay £140,000+ in the UK and €160,000+ in the EU. Collecting Cars' Australian team set a new auction record for a right-hand-drive car in March 2026 with a price of A$541,500+
Porsche 993 Turbo
Representing the technological pinnacle of air-cooled, forced-induction models, the twin-turbocharged 993 is a permanent fixture on collector wishlists, but the average price has risen significantly over the last six months. Its blend of sub-five-second 0–60 mph pace and analogue feel means virtually every example is securely in the six-figure club. Expect to pay £140,000+ in the UK, €160,000+ in the EU, and A$300,000+ in APAC.
Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS
Widely heralded as one of the greatest driver's cars ever built, the 997.2-generation RS models are hotly pursued. Featuring the legendary, motorsport-derived Mezger engine and a crisp six-speed manual transmission, this generation is viewed by many as the ultimate sweet spot of raw mechanical feedback and modern capability. Expect to pay £180,000+ in the UK and €200,000+ in the EU.
Porsche 993 Carrera - Manual
The standard 993 Carrera with a manual gearbox has become a sought-after model for air-cooled purists who don’t want to spend six figures on turbocharged or Rennsport models. Its timeless aesthetics and daily usability mean clean ‘no stories’ cars rarely linger when presented properly. Expect to pay £55,000+ in the UK and €65,000+ in the EU.
Buying a great value Porsche 911
While many Porsches that used to be ‘affordable’ (in relative terms) have risen well into substantial six-figure price territory in recent years, there are plenty of fantastic
911 models that you can snap up for significantly less, and which still look like great value in the market. Collecting Cars have picked five models below that typically fall into the £50,000-£80,000 bracket (or the equivalent worldwide).
Porsche 996 Turbo S - Manual
Representing the final evolution of the 996 generation, this exceptionally rare model paired the legendary Mezger engine with the X50 Powerkit and standard carbon-ceramic brakes. Just over 1,500 were built across coupe and Cabriolet variants, and examples specified with the manual gearbox are both rarer and highly sought-after.

Porsche 997.2 Carrera GTS
A high-water mark of the naturally aspirated modern era, the 997.2 Carrera GTS combined the wide body of the all-wheel-drive and RS models, the SportDesign front bumper, GT2 RS side skirts, revised suspension, and the 408hp Powerkit flat-six. It is frequently chosen by enthusiasts as the ultimate usable 911 before the transition to electric steering and a larger chassis footprint.

Porsche 991.2 Carrera T
While the ‘lightweight’ marketing story shouted louder than the engineering reality, this is still a rewarding and tactile variant from the model range. If you’re going for a Carrera T over a standard car, then you need to make it worthwhile, so search for one with the optional bucket seats, rear-seat delete, and with any unnecessary electronics omitted, to maximise the purist philosophy.

Porsche 991.1 Targa 4S
This generation marked the triumphant return of the iconic brushed-aluminium roll hoop, blending 1960s aesthetics with a mesmerising roof mechanism. As the final naturally aspirated Targa generation, the 991.1 combines all-weather capability with a classic flat-six howl, making it highly desirable for style-conscious collectors. The GTS is even better if you can find one, but 400hp in the 4S is plenty.

Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Super Sport - G50
Denoted by its M491 option code and known as the ‘Works Turbo Look' in other markets, this striking air-cooled classic borrows the aggressive flared arches, whale tail, and upgraded brakes from the 930 Turbo. When paired with the sought-after G50 manual gearbox introduced in 1987, the driving experience fully lives up to the poster-car styling.

Selling a Porsche 911 in 2026
Collecting Cars have established a leading position in helping enthusiasts to buy and sell Porsche 911s online, regardless of where they are in the world. In short, few people are better placed to accurately list a 911 and get it sold swiftly and securely at the current market value.
As a result of the ever-increasing volumes built, plus improved durability, there are more Porsche 911s than ever on the market at any given time. Buyers can afford to be choosy when it comes to pre-owned cars, and they are happy to wait for the ‘right’ examples.
Strong competition for the best 911s
Cars that have low mileage, impeccable main dealer or specialist service history, and desirable factory specifications (such as Paint-to-Sample hues or rare options) are attracting fierce competition when offered on the open market.
When an exceptional example goes under the hammer, bidding wars frequently result in very strong prices. Collectors are willing to pay a premium when a car has no strikes against it.
Know the value of your Porsche 911
Even if your Porsche 911 is not a top-tier example, there will still be demand for it, but it's important to understand the difference that shortcomings can make to the price. Accident damage might knock off more than 10% compared to an otherwise identical car, and a patchy service history could have a similar impact.
Porsche buyers are savvy about servicing and preventative maintenance requirements, so if your car has not had the common issues for the model investigated or rectified, then you can expect that to be reflected in lower bidding versus a fully sorted car.
Modifications are tolerated more broadly among Porsche buyers than many other brands, but excessive customisation can also have a negative effect. Comprehensive professionally built bespoke creations, often with backdated styling, can achieve strong results.
