When I was a young man and massively into my motorbikes I had no interest whatsoever for cars, then one day in 1985 I parked next to a 911 turbo and my eyes were opened. I discovered Porsche and fell in love with all their cars. Over the years I was lucky enough to drive 944's, 928's,911's inc a turbo but never had any spare money to buy my own Porsche 😔 That changed 20mths ago when I finally bought a 987.1 Cayman S 😁 I love my Cayman and to think it has the performance to equal that original 911 turbo that I parked next to all those years ago blows me away. I could never afford to buy a classic 911 turbo but I have the next best thing for me and I'm more then happy. Porsche for ever! ❤️ Another great vid by the way lads 👍
Great story John. I bought my first Porsche about a year ago after a lifetime of waiting. It has fulfilled all of my expectations of the brand. It has been said that money can't by happiness but it can buy a Porsche which is the same thing :) Drive safely.
They are a bit like a 4 wheel motorbike with a roof.....nice air cooled engine..responsive engine and good handling

Drove the car from Porsche Museum recently. I was early 1975 Turbo and I just loved it. The feeling of speed is incredible. Seats were supportive and the car was 100% analogue. TBH I am a big fan of turbo lag as well. What a car it must have been in its period.
I’ve had my 1988 930 Cabriolet for 25 years now. It’s been slightly ‘weaponized’ with a larger turbo, stainless header system/exhaust, and a few other things. After all these years, it is still a totally exhilarating yet understated driving experience. If you’re at all like me, the longer you keep your 930, the more you’ll enjoy it.., guaranteed!
"Brake …. brake a lot more than that!!" "If I want a flaming death experience, this car will deliver". Loving the sense of humour, and enjoying going back to watch some older content! I remember a mate of mine getting the next gen turbo 2nd hand in the mid 90s - it was all going so well until "the turbo chopped in whilst going around the roundabout" ending up down the motorway slip road embankment and through a fence ….
Clicked onto this for the sound. My mother had a 930 ‘89 Targa with 16k on the clock for years that I loved driving. I will buy one myself one day too once I have convinced my wife it won’t kill me!
Great video guys, and you make a great comedy duo. Stunning car which takes me back to the age of bellbottoms, sidelocks and moustaches, open necked shirts with collars the size of wing flaps on a 747 etc.......!!!!! As another owner of a 987.1 Cayman, I can appreciate everything about your driving experience in that classic Porsche. Another thing, the air cooled engines have a noticeably gruffer note than most water cooled Porsches these days that lack the sport exhaust. My Cayman has a Capristi system to enhance the distinctive flat six sound and add about 22 HP.
You both did a great job giving a TRUE (no bs) overview of an amazing example of the old 930 Turbo. I happen to own 2 very low Km 89 Turbos, one 1989 Turbo Cab and one 1989 Turbo Coupe. They are both Linen on Linen, and they make a lovely pair, like two bothers... or two sisters depending how you personally describe your cars. 1989, The last year of truly unadulterated Porsche sports cars with iconic looks and no electronic nanny's to save the inexperienced driver.... it's just you and God!
All air cooled cars need work. Some more than others. I bought mine and did around 8k worth of new parts. Labor was my time and to be honest I loved it. I know my 993 better than any car I have ever owned. It is now perfect mechanically and drives like a dream. Wouldn't hestitate to drive it on a road trip. Congrats on an amazing car you got there.
Of course I'm going to give the video a like - its a classic Porsche Turbo being driven properly! £8k extra on putting a formerly stored car right. Yes, had a similar issue with a previously stored motorcycle, which effectively doubled the already high purchase price. Rode wonderfully after that point, and having bought a very solid vehicle in the first place it sold well a few years later. If you intend to keep and drive, then after you get over the inevitable initial shock, not an enjoyment or fiscal issue, and will always be both fun and reliable. Go drive it and enjoy Damian (but give the keys to Jason occasionally).
Great video guys on the continuous story of this awesome car. I had kept an eye on this car pre auction and couldn’t quite Believe it when you guys bought it. We also imported an 1987 930 turbo high output to Australia. And yes a few little problems, but wow the power delivery when the turbo spooled up.
Beautiful car chaps - the one on my bedroom wall as a young petrolhead - albeit black - courtesy of Athena. It's what got me into Porsche as a brand and why I'm now on my 3rd 911 and 5th Porsche!
Every single Porsche review video I've seen, the car is always stopped on a stony somewhat dirty surface and the reviewer climbs in with no attempt to shake the crap off his shoes. Incredible.
The most complete looking 911 in my opinion, superb looking thing! Sounds amazing on boost too - the in car shots really highlight the amazing visibility!
Interesting to see the extent to which this first generation of commercialized turbo Porsches needs to be driven so differently and cautiously than the present generation 911s - except for maybe the staggeringly powerful GT2 RS and Turbo/S. Your comments lead to understanding (for the non initiated driver) why this model was known as The Widow maker ! What is also fascinating is the sheer smallness of these 911s compared to the 991 and 992 generations. Awesome ! You must be truly delighted, and with very good reason. The 8000 quid were bloody worth while 😄👍
Congratulations for the car and the video. I have to admit that you did a great job getting this piece of Porsche's history back. I love the lines of the car, they're just timeless...They were utterly machines to be driven and that's all about them! I would like to see the car personally, but on the video doesn't really stands out the colour. And the interiour in white, is not completely my cup of tea but whatever! I like the comment about VW Golf R having the same power output but I can imagine it's like comparing apples and oranges...I wonder who owned this car 30 years ago...when exotic cars were not that popular.Anyways, keep posting more videos of cars because I am totally addicted to them!! By the way, besides the general maintenance, do you have any improvements -if we can say that- planned? Cheers from Majorca.
A fully sorted low mileage example of an iconic car...if that's not a keeper I don't know what is. Great addition to your collection. Unlike its former keepers I hope you use it as it was intended?! Another throughly enjoyable vlog...thanks guys!
This is a perfect example of a garage queen car and the costs involved recomissioning it , however the low mileage will hold it's value from a collectors prospective. I own a Corrado VR6 157 k and a Sl500 R129 127k (72k cost in 1999 more then a 911 from the same era and my first house ha ) , gone through the whole car Suspension , timing chains,trimmers etc on both cars and drive like they should , modern classics buy on condition and recent money spent in my opinion as mileage is just a number. Great looking 930 by the way, 964 RS would be on top of my list. Keep up the great work guys.
Linen, cracking colour, it looks absolutely fantastic, exterior/interior combination, there’s nothing to change, modify or tweak. £7,900+ for peace of mind that it’s in the best condition imaginable.
Patina huh ? Well, ya learn something new everyday! My car has got heaps of patina(s). Beautiful looking car that 930. Absolutely timeless. Damien, I get the impression that you don't always trust Jason's judgement while driving? Once again, very entertaining vid. I've got a number to cath up with :)
this was the car of my dreams back in the day, very nicely put together video guys, moves along perfectly, very watchable, love the humour - thanks for sharing TFS !
I bought a 1996 993 C2, varioram, 20,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny, back in 2007. I put $10,000 into it: 30K service plus a totally new Bilstein HD ROW-height suspension, beefier sway bar, etc. From that point on I basically had a newly-improved car. I still have it. It's a keeper, as you say.
The paintwork is in very good condition (impressively shiny for a clear grey car) bar a few nicks on the front. The interior looks nice but as some other comment said, try to refurb the gear knob. This and a new set of plates (they are horrible and the front one looks bent) will bring the whole car really to the same standard as now the mechanicals are: outstanding. Congrats on the car and on another great video. Keep them coming!
I have a uncle in Santa Barbra California with a 70's 911 SC Targa in light blue metallic. I got to ride in it as a young teen and I've been a Porsche fanatic ever since. I hope to own a 930 some day. If you guys like this you'll love the Singer Porsche's. Thanks.
Love the channel and your passion for all things car.My cars a keeper too, but just a humble Porsche 987.2 S and always hoping to catch the car guys enjoying the local roads of Dorset.
Great video, lovely to see a 930 being used and appreciated. Not for the faint hearted but once sorted and used they are relative value. Love the boost.........nothing, nothing then whoosh
Must be the best example and lowest mileage outside of porsches own museum, very surprised a prestige auction group do not supply a pre purchase report, I know it's an auction "sold as seen and no warranty implied or given " and all that , but still , it's not exactly a 10 year old fiesta . £800 is a very expensive repair bill, but £8 grand !!!!!!! , that's another used car. I liked the Emblem inserts, I would love a tour around that garage some very nice machinery in their . The problem with these old mechanical non electronic cars is you have to strip them right down to fault diagnose, which costs a fortune in labour, rather than plug in a code reader.
Stunning car, great to see its all working and tip top :-). Don't suppose there is any come back with the cost of the faults being that it was bought from auction?, think you should hunt the previous owner down and leave a poo in a burning paper bag on his doorstep then ring the doorbell and hide but hey. Drove an 1988 Carrera sport with the g50 box many many years ago, they take a bit of getting used to, flat ish bolt upright steering wheels and pedals out the floor like dare I say erm a beetle but ace cars and love the flat six howl.....enjoy the car, great video chaps
Again, a great video.You guys always look like you're having fun, which makes me smile, no pretence at all, just a really nice friendship, what a sweet running 930 now, personally I prefer these cool, older cars (achingly lovely)
£8000 doesn't sound to bad compared to the $20,000 top end rebuild Farah's safari 911 needs , and that wont even stop it being pink ! Although 8G is a lot more than it cost to turbo my MX5 for a higher BHP/TON than the 911- but its still an mx5 so its all relative ;-)
Xerox makes a product called Fuser Oil. You can find it on ebay. I would advise any one to aquire some especially with any kind of classic car and use it on all the rubber molding door and trunk seals. My dad a 1969 that he used fuser oil on all the rubber and it was considered better then new when he sold it in 2009. Also better then replacement moldings/seals. Dad said he could put a bead of it on the outer tire wall let it sit for a week and it would permeate to the interior wall of the tire.
I got to 57 before feeling the need for a Porsche - only one I had been in was a 924 back in about 1985/6 ish. I was left quite underwhelmed by that experience. Cut a long story short bought a 4.5 twin turbo Cayenne and am now totally converted. Thinking a Boxster may join the stable - 911's too dear now, even project ones.
Great vid, glad you did a follow up! Surprised to see going through Fordingbridge, next village to us…… petrolhead like yourselves, used to build and manage supercars and race cars for Ascari….. will follow channel with interest… 👍👍👍
I had a 1979 930 Turbo with no converters left hand steering and I paid $15,000. I pinned it at 180 but with only a 4 speed it could go no faster. I also owned a 928,911SC,A 911SC Targa and a 944 which was one of the most fun cars they made. Enjoy your Porsche while you can !!!
Great vid. I recently had my 1988 930 Turbo bought up to spec, but my local OPC said they could not fix the Air Con - no parts anywhere and could not charge it? Can you help?
We want so much for people to be honest. I'd wager the record for "most crashes of a new car on its first drive" easily belongs to the 930. Very nice example. Cool colour combo.
Nice looking car. Years ago I almost bought on on ebay. I guess bidding did not go high enough because seller pulled the auction. You only forgot to rotate the tachometer so 7K is at 12 o'clock!
Traction is amazing my mates 4 speed would do 50mph in 1st, it was funny to pull in front of a car thence see their faces thinking they were going into the back of you then turbo kicked in and we were gone- great kick in the back .
Lovely video, guys ! Would love to see it to be driven together with the Touring. Not „drag race“, but going in two on twisted country roads. I’d expect similar driving pleasures... (and beautiful pictures)
AAAhh Turbo love............worth every penny to have her right tho .............nice to see Jason taking a few liberties with her.....but he is showing classic symptoms of a petrol head who needs a track day in the Honda with the boys to preserve his licence..........
in Australia - early 2000s you could import one of these for less than 20k (they were left hand drive) but could be converted for like less than 10k... now one of these cars cannot be purchased for under 120k
What a beautiful automobile! … having come to your channel only recently I'm not sure what cars you have or don't have -- you go through cars like I went through wives. But what a beauty this one is.
British roads honestly scare me- they seem so narrow. May be it's just the perspective caused by the cameras, but they look about a foot wider than whatever car is on them. Great when you're all alone in your F12 or 911, but terrifying when there is oncoming traffic. Still, what a great car and glad it found a good home and a little TLC. Fantastic!
05:52 - The shop "Emblem" decided the best 10 second promo video clip of their business would be to show a man maneuvering a long ladder between a set of rare, expensive sport cars whilst carrying a huge heavy toolbox at the same time. No time to go back and forth twice here! Better carry the two things at once, even though it increases the chance of hitting one of the customers' cars...
Beautiful late 930 you have there. Have you been to look at some of the nice 'backdate' cars offered by the likes of Paul Stephens and Autofarm? Great opportunity for a custom classic 911 but not at Singer prices?
When I was a young man and massively into my motorbikes I had no interest whatsoever for cars, then one day in 1985 I parked next to a 911 turbo and my eyes were opened.
I discovered Porsche and fell in love with all their cars.
Over the years I was lucky enough to drive 944's, 928's,911's inc a turbo but never had any spare money to buy my own Porsche 😔
That changed 20mths ago when I finally bought a 987.1 Cayman S 😁
I love my Cayman and to think it has the performance to equal that original 911 turbo that I parked next to all those years ago blows me away.
I could never afford to buy a classic 911 turbo but I have the next best thing for me and I'm more then happy.
Porsche for ever! ❤️
Another great vid by the way lads 👍
Thanks, John - a pleasure to hear your story
Great story John. I bought my first Porsche about a year ago after a lifetime of waiting. It has fulfilled all of my expectations of the brand. It has been said that money can't by happiness but it can buy a Porsche which is the same thing :) Drive safely.
Cars are so important to us guys.Love your passion.👍
Aston Martin ...and also for some of us of the opposite sex.😉😎

You and Harry's garage are my favourites
No crappy music intro for the first minute or so proper petrol heads
When you getting a drone
Soon 😀
Clicked onto this for the sound. My mother had a 930 ‘89 Targa with 16k on the clock for years that I loved driving. I will buy one myself one day too once I have convinced my wife it won’t kill me!
That is a bit of me. 930 Turbo, Fleetwood Mac in the tape deck, shoes with no socks..! 👌 Good job gents

You need fuchs wheels with black center and it is perfect :)
@@fantastictime2780 yeah, I meant wheels with black center add a touch of contrast. It looks much better, imo.
Agree. Black looks way better.
Sorry should be black to make it perfect
Stupid.
Agreed
That’s got to be a great investment. Thanks from all the guys, like me, who cannot afford to rescue beautiful cars like this one.
That is a very nice example of a 930 Turbo. CONGRATULATIONS!
Cheers

Appreciate you sharing such an amazing 930, enjoyed it very much.

Thanks, Gemster
Brilliant video! Thanks for helping us remove the rose tinted glasses when it comes to buying those shiny cars at auction.
This is a perfect example of a garage queen car and the costs involved recomissioning it , however the low mileage will hold it's value from a collectors prospective. I own a Corrado VR6 157 k and a Sl500 R129 127k (72k cost in 1999 more then a 911 from the same era and my first house ha ) , gone through the whole car Suspension , timing chains,trimmers etc on both cars and drive like they should , modern classics buy on condition and recent money spent in my opinion as mileage is just a number.

£7,900+ for peace of mind that it’s in the best condition imaginable.
That's one way of looking at it :)
My dream car when I was a kid, simply stunning 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Patina huh ? Well, ya learn something new everyday! My car has got heaps of patina(s). Beautiful looking car that 930. Absolutely timeless.

this was the car of my dreams back in the day, very nicely put together video guys, moves along perfectly, very watchable, love the humour - thanks for sharing TFS !
No problem & thanks for watching, Roger
I bought a 1996 993 C2, varioram, 20,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny, back in 2007. I put $10,000 into it: 30K service plus a totally new Bilstein HD ROW-height suspension, beefier sway bar, etc. From that point on I basically had a newly-improved car.
I still have it. It's a keeper, as you say.
Oh my god! I so would love a passenger trip in that beauty! Great video (yet again) Damian and Jason. Great channel! Truly 👍
Thanks, Stephen
The paintwork is in very good condition (impressively shiny for a clear grey car) bar a few nicks on the front. The interior looks nice but as some other comment said, try to refurb the gear knob.
This and a new set of plates (they are horrible and the front one looks bent) will bring the whole car really to the same standard as now the mechanicals are: outstanding.
Congrats on the car and on another great video. Keep them coming!
David D I agree it’s crying out for a new set of plates! The ones with the porsche logo are slightly 2005...
I have a uncle in Santa Barbra California with a 70's 911 SC Targa in light blue metallic. I got to ride in it as a young teen and I've been a Porsche fanatic ever since. I hope to own a 930 some day. If you guys like this you'll love the Singer Porsche's. Thanks.
Yes we love the Singers
Great video gents, I remember these cars on the road as a teenager and this was the mack daddy of all supercars on British roads.
It still is!
Love the channel and your passion for all things car.My cars a keeper too, but just a humble Porsche 987.2 S and always hoping to catch the car guys enjoying the local roads of Dorset.
The 1989 porsche 911 turbo is my dream car I would spend what you did it's the best sports car design ever
Great video, lovely to see a 930 being used and appreciated. Not for the faint hearted but once sorted and used they are relative value. Love the boost.........nothing, nothing then whoosh
Thanks Paul, we had great fun making this one
Inspired me to take the 930 for a spin on this sunny Sunday.
Must be the best example and lowest mileage outside of porsches own museum, very surprised a prestige auction group do not supply a pre purchase report, I know it's an auction "sold as seen and no warranty implied or given " and all that , but still , it's not exactly a 10 year old fiesta . £800 is a very expensive repair bill, but £8 grand !!!!!!! , that's another used car. I liked the Emblem inserts, I would love a tour around that garage some very nice machinery in their . The problem with these old mechanical non electronic cars is you have to strip them right down to fault diagnose, which costs a fortune in labour, rather than plug in a code reader.
Stunning car, great to see its all working and tip top :-). Don't suppose there is any come back with the cost of the faults being that it was bought from auction?, think you should hunt the previous owner down and leave a poo in a burning paper bag on his doorstep then ring the doorbell and hide but hey. Drove an 1988 Carrera sport with the g50 box many many years ago, they take a bit of getting used to, flat ish bolt upright steering wheels and pedals out the floor like dare I say erm a beetle but ace cars and love the flat six howl.....enjoy the car, great video chaps

Love this channel proper car guys , keep the vids coming !!
£8000 doesn't sound to bad compared to the $20,000 top end rebuild Farah's safari 911 needs , and that wont even stop it being pink !
Although 8G is a lot more than it cost to turbo my MX5 for a higher BHP/TON than the 911- but its still an mx5 so its all relative ;-)
Great update review guys of a stunning classic Turbo. Need to treat it to a new Gear Knob as well which will take you over the 8 Grand spend 👍👍
Xerox makes a product called Fuser Oil. You can find it on ebay. I would advise any one to aquire some especially with any kind of classic car and use it on all the rubber molding door and trunk seals. My dad a 1969 that he used fuser oil on all the rubber and it was considered better then new when he sold it in 2009. Also better then replacement moldings/seals.

Great vid, glad you did a follow up! Surprised to see going through Fordingbridge, next village to us…… petrolhead like yourselves, used to build and manage supercars and race cars for Ascari….. will follow channel with interest… 👍👍👍
As always a great video. Love seeing a bit of old and new together.
Cheers, mate
Beautiful car ,well done on getting it sorted with a garage that you trust and know what their doing .
Thanks, Jam - it’s come out better than I could have hoped
nothing else to say other than..STUNNING
Beautifully done, thanks!
Many thanks!

I own one and your comments are very accurate.
Good to hear, Mark
Now you got the near perfect 911 Turbo. Send it Singer and make it 100% perfect.
Great vid. I recently had my 1988 930 Turbo bought up to spec, but my local OPC said they could not fix the Air Con - no parts anywhere and could not charge it? Can you help?
I can recommend Emblem Sportscars
Eventually got round to watching this video, what a car, and hilarious review, loved it.
Thanks, Graham
That's great, I really enjoyed this video!
One of the few cars that looked good in brown
We want so much for people to be honest.
I'd wager the record for "most crashes of a new car on its first drive" easily belongs to the 930.
Very nice example. Cool colour combo.
Nice looking car. Years ago I almost bought on on ebay. I guess bidding did not go high enough because seller pulled the auction. You only forgot to rotate the tachometer so 7K is at 12 o'clock!
Traction is amazing my mates 4 speed would do 50mph in 1st, it was funny to pull in front of a car thence see their faces thinking they were going into the back of you then turbo kicked in and we were gone- great kick in the back .
Beautiful car to own and drive lovely colour , they are a complete joy to own, great video boys
Such a beautiful car worth every penny!!.
Guys you've earned your keep !! Another great video. Its good to see that in the 80's cars were pretty fast also.
Cheers, James
Beautiful looking 930.
Weren’t they called The Widow Maker back in the day because of their ability to shoot into hedges mid-corner?
great video update mr. carguys . one of the best car in your garage along with the 458 speciale IMO
Thank you Ruben
Great video guys , and that's why you shouldn't store these cars away
Absolutely - a cautionary tale
It is my dream to own (and drive ofcourse) a 911 Carrera... One day. Fantastic 930 Turbo. I like it!
This is the car that got me into cars all those years back I Luv It🤪
Lovely video, guys ! Would love to see it to be driven together with the Touring. Not „drag race“, but going in two on twisted country roads. I’d expect similar driving pleasures... (and beautiful pictures)
A good idea
AAAhh Turbo love............worth every penny to have her right tho .............nice to see Jason taking a few liberties with her.....but he is showing classic symptoms of a petrol head who needs a track day in the Honda with the boys to preserve his licence..........
Another very enjoyable video, thanks...... 😀😀😀
in Australia - early 2000s you could import one of these for less than 20k (they were left hand drive) but could be converted for like less than 10k... now one of these cars cannot be purchased for under 120k
Brilliant video guys! That car is a beast! Love the camera angles and the edits! Your channel is awesomely entertaining! Cheers! Alan
Thanks for watching
Beautiful, should hone your reflexes when out in the wet. I advise a clean pair of pants in the glove box.
Great video guys! Any plans to look at 928 GT4, 968 CS, or 944 Turbo? I know not the same value, but interesting? Keep up the good work. TG
968 CS for sure
I spy a new Yacht Master. Excellent choice sir. Lovely rides too!
Beautiful 930 consider yourself fortunate to get a low milage car.
What a beautiful automobile! … having come to your channel only recently I'm not sure what cars you have or don't have -- you go through cars like I went through wives. But what a beauty this one is.
Great result after the mechanical sort-out.
I currently have 997.1 Carrera S, next one will be either 964 or 930. Loved the brand especially 911.
Well done guys , shame about the F40 though !
Did replacing the tires fix the front steering tilt? or did it need an alignment?
Hi ive just purchesesd my 997 turbo fron a private buyer up noeth in Scotland and too say I'm happy is an understatement lol
Amazing news - send us a pic
British roads honestly scare me- they seem so narrow. May be it's just the perspective caused by the cameras, but they look about a foot wider than whatever car is on them. Great when you're all alone in your F12 or 911, but terrifying when there is oncoming traffic. Still, what a great car and glad it found a good home and a little TLC. Fantastic!
Thanks, Mark
964 bumpers really complete this car. RUF did it in 87 onwards and it makes all the difference
05:52 - The shop "Emblem" decided the best 10 second promo video clip of their business would be to show a man maneuvering a long ladder between a set of rare, expensive sport cars whilst carrying a huge heavy toolbox at the same time. No time to go back and forth twice here! Better carry the two things at once, even though it increases the chance of hitting one of the customers' cars...
Love the Porsche. Nice to see it restored, well done. You should do a video with Edd China.
We’d love to
Fantastic job guys 👌🏻 The car looks amazing ! Would love to park mine next to it for a photo shoot .
Absolutely
Beautiful late 930 you have there. Have you been to look at some of the nice 'backdate' cars offered by the likes of Paul Stephens and Autofarm? Great opportunity for a custom classic 911 but not at Singer prices?
Yes we've checked out Paul Stephens earlier in the year, some lovely metal there
Great video again, best format having the pair of you reviewing. Personally not a fan of Porsche's.
Lovely looking car!!!
ARe you guys going to the Geneva Motor show 2019? If so what day do you normally attend?
Yes but we haven't decided which day yet
Love that 911 very good video 👍👍👍
Thank you
Nice video guys 👍
Cheers
Simply excellent guys
Thanks for watching, Alan
I have just bought silver color Welly 1:24 930 Turbo (1974) 😄 very iconic model. Enjoy her in good health.
Lovely work, sir
