I love how, despite his already stellar collection, Harry can barely hide his excitement at having got his hands on this Porsche. He's like a living embodiment of the enthusiast in all of us!

As someone who’s never really been into 911s, I just like to say… what a lovely, lovely car that is! Please don’t bin the Ruf wheels, they’re ace xx

[stefanschachler]

Congratulations, Harry, and welcome back to the Porsche family.
The seats are what they called at that time „Sportsitze“ and they were stock on the turbo S but also available as an option for the rest of 911 bunch. I have them in my 30th anniversary 911 (964) from 1993 (Jubiläumsmodell), too. I think those were the last 911 cars (they really built 911 of them) that have these special seats. In the 993 model there were also „Sportsitze“ available as an option, but they were of a different kind. The RUF wheels were also available at that time as a „Sonderwunsch“ from the factory. In the early nineties Porsche changed the name of the „Sonderwunsch“ department into „Tequipment“.

PS. I just texted Kerry and this was his response, "One problem - I have no recollection of ever having owned it and fortunately no one has asked - for some reason my name gets attached and maybe I did the importation and that would have my name on it." The other cars like the 935s and GT1, I've seen before and know Kerry's connection. However, this 930S is something he's never mentioned in the past. Stunning and rare example. Congrats for the find. Enjoy. Lovely video as well....thank you for sharing.

its always amazing how many rare, obscure, not-well-documented versions of these older cars were made/exist. nowadays with the internet and the ubiquitization of in-house tuning companies stuff like this just doesnt really happen anymore i feel like!

She sounds wonderful, Harry. Great addition to the fleet. I'm sure someone out there will get you what you want for her history. When they do, be sure to update us!

I do like those wheels on the Porsche, what a lovely looking car and considering it’s red which I’m not really fond of it’s beautiful 👌

[gaycha]

Looks utterly fabulous. Just like I had on my bedroom wall as a kid. Lovely specced

[deanmohan]

Can see the happiness this car is bringing Harry already, brilliant to see and what a beautiful example as well, keep up the great work Harry!

[JelloTypeR]

Simply gorgeous. I’ve loved the 911 since I was 4 years old. 44 years later and I’m still in love with them.

[WashburnD]

You have outdone yourself. What a beautiful example. Absolutely brilliant sir! I can't get over how absolutely stunning it is.

[ryanhoffmann]

That may be one of the best car/wheel combinations I have ever seen. Absolute perfection! I believe I have seen one of those near where I live. There is a very big Porsche collector that lives in my city as well. Never thought it was anything more than a very nice 930 Turbo but I swear the black headlight surrounds stand out.

[guntherbohlen]

Maybe the Head of Porsche historical archives, Frank Jung, can give you a helping hand. Normally Porsche is greatful and supportive when it comes to special cars. Maybe worth a call, I would try it. Nevertheless…. the car is awesome and the wheels look spectacular.

[heatleynoble]

You can hear Harry's excitement all through this! More than usual, he just couldn't hide it.

[GenaF]

I've never been much of a Porsche fan, but I admire a beast that squats on the road like that. Such a lovely stance it has. Very nice.

I owned an apple green metallic 930 for a while. Loved it - unmatched combo of comfort and rabid pace for something of its age. Bit of a pig to keep running sweetly, though, and mine was mint. You definitely don't have to apologise for taking it easy on cold and greasy roads.

[fchow]

Fantastic find, perfectly in line with the 80's big gun! Congrulations. What a magnificent garage.

[SB-vbch]

That is quite a line up, especially all in bright red. Stunning bit of kit, arguably the best wheels for that car too, lovely.

[nadavravid]

Congratulations on the new purchase. Ruf wheels are absolutely perfect for the car, would embrace them completely and not give it another thought. Assume 45 degrees (7 degrees C) would be in Fahrenheit for US market, which would tally with the salt on the roads and your outfit!

[westschleife]

It will also have a stiffer wastegate spring to bring the boost up to a BAR compared with a normal 930 at .8 I believe. Those Rufs are period correct due to the stepped lips, later Rufs have smooth barrels. They'll either be 17/10 and 17/8 or some folks run a 17x9 up front. And if its correct the strakes in the side should be made of wood. Congrats.
