Another ‘80s supercar arrives in the garage and it’s one you might never knew existed..

There's another eighties supercar in my collection and it's a model I never knew existed until I spotted it a few weeks ago for sale at www.thehairpin... The 1989 Porsche 930 turbo S, of which only 33 were ever built.

[@jamesmcconnell1401]

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!

[@hugolafhugolaf]

With the wallet to afford it.

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

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!

[@colin5577]

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.

[@Gozar111]

You can see it’s a recent rebuild. The rear bonnet stays up under its own power and doesn’t require a broom handle

[@greyguy.960]

So true :)

[@marcryvon]

🤣 Yes, yes, Ze brroom !

[@arthurdardalis]

Very true, needs new shocks every couple of months… Porsche quality…

[@MH-ev3wr]

@@arthurdardalis yeah, people butch about this all the time. I swapped the hood shocks on my ‘87 Carrera 8 years ago and the hood still stays up. Also - it’s not Porsche quality - they outsource these along with MANY other parts. Porsche quality - no. Porsche tax - yes.

[@MH-ev3wr]

I know - cuz it’s really tough to replace these. Jesus, do you work on your own shit? It’s not hard...

[@ryanhoffmann9341]

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.

[@autokennel]

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.

[@duncanbleak3819]

Perfect addition to your collection. Looking forward to one of those excellent road trips!!!

[@mattagnew206]

Hopefully your offsider/videographer will find it comfortable!

[@patnolan664]

Delighted for you Harry. Your obviously thrilled, as I was a couple of days ago to purchase my first Ferrari- an F355 manual. My wife says my mood has never been better!

[@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.

[@Cubulation]

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!

[@johnsmith1474]

What would be amazing is if versions did not exist. And the tuners make it more likely not less.

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

My wife's grandfather was the head mechanic at a giant garage here in Germany (they had 150 mechanics at one point!) and they were a Mercedes specialist and tuner long before Mercedes had the parnership with AMG. According to him they built the strangest things. Many of the rich and famous clients had quite extravagant tastes... but that's the thing, all these cars were unique and built to an extremely high standard. Just as good as the factory would have done it. On the one hand it's great that we have such high standards for our (regular, from-factory) cars nowadays, on the other hand it's a bit sad we now rarely individualize them.

[@Lukas323f]

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 what was the name of the company?

[@teabagtowers3823]

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 So was this garage like a coach builder like say Touring from Milan?

[@reinmansmith]

That looks so good in the red with those wheels 👍 A perfect accompaniment to the Countache & Testarossa, what a trio to have in the garage 😎

[@46films]

Big congrats on the purchase! Also many thanks for all the high quality content you have been providing us, and continued to do so during the pandemic. Best wishes from Sweden

I feel so fortunate to share this genuine happiness, fantastic car and so pleased for you Harry.

Fantastic choice there Harry, just need a 959 now :)

[@jonathanwiggill8242]

Harry, you deserve to own such a special car. Thanks for sharing years of EVO passion with us. Enjoy.

[@toddfry6635]

Epic to see those four 80’s supercars together under one roof!

[@MrSiwilks]

I'm in love with this car, it's a dream machine! Stunning addition Harry.

[@gaz-gemw5801]

Many years ago while I was living in Munster in Germany, I remember walking past a Porsche dealer, and saw one of these in the window, stood there for Ages, totally in love LOL. Take care, love your vids. ,

[@MrGm182]

Absolutely stunning Harry, to many happy miles

[@sausage_lord]

That is a stunner Harry. Congratulations!! Love the RUF wheels - they work well on 930s. Don’t think I have ever seen them with Porsche badges though - don’t they normally have the RUF logo? Speaking of RUF, that would be a cool road trip down to the factory and having a go in a CTR!

[@danielmallencoorr8001]

man that's one of the prettiest porches I've ever seen, and of all your cars the prettiest

[@humanbeing1675]

Best idea to contact Porsche. With regards to the original specs their archive is known to be very accurate. By the way....a beautiful car! Love the "indischrot" colour.

[@barzac]

This is a very special European iteration. As many have pointed out, the LE was a limited end of run delivery also, with a few different aesthetics at the same time. The obvious design difference (for no particular reason it seems) being the front spoiler, with the LE having long lateral vents as opposed to this S with the square mini 934 style chin, although both with integral oil coolers. I also believe Harry, if you even read these things, that you haven't picked up on the suggested principle difference for the S model, over and above the LE - that being an even greater output over the D66 LE / SE incarnations - with a further jump from the already hiked 330hp, up to a very impressive for the day 375hp; presumably to edge closer towards the more extreme (and not for everyone) DP / Gemballa deliveries of the same period. Lovely.

[@davidporeilly1]

Of the many amazing exotics you have reviewed this is the one that just made me envious. Its a time machine that took me back to dreams of the late 80s. What a car!

[@rightwheeldrive]

Absolutely love this car. Thought it was an SSE. Never knew that these turbo S existed. What a find. RUF wheels were the best period wheels on this age 911 imho.

[@nickcolman4288]

The SSE was a turbo bodied Carrera. Wouldn’t be quick enough to join Harry’s super car collection.

[@K_umeda]

Toyota CEO also had a 930 Turbo S.

[@smokeybear69]

Wow, that’s a special one, love the Ruf wheels too, even though not factory. Look forward to hearing it scream in future vids. 😀

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Another lovely car added to your collection.

[@SeikenFreak]

Love how this car looks. Love those wheels on it. Love the black accents. And some cool history as well. Stop complaining about the beautiful new interior lol

[@stevenboyd5044]

The wheels are spot on.

[@pierre-emmanuelaugustin2970]

Excellent choice. I have been enjoying my 1989 930 for 12 years now...and it feels magic

[@y0057]

If you write to Porsche Germany, they should be able to send to you a certificate of originality on that car. I did this on my car and they wrote back to me (will be in German but can always be interpreted, that’s what I did anyways). Worth a try. 👌🏿

[@jasetheace5954]

Well done Harry, there's probably about half a million of us just as excited as you are, what a fabulous addition! Thanks for sharing yet again!

[@mikecrowe4674]

Harry hits it out of the park again. All he needs is the AM V8 Vantage and he can declare his 80’s super car collection complete. Top job Harry.

[@robsawalker]

Just stunning! I've always wanted an impact bumper 911 - a modest Carrera would do me, but they are now sliding further and further away sadly, price-wise. Very jealous Harry, enjoy!

[@judih.8754]

I can imagine this came with multi-piece Speedline wheels as they were used on a number of quick, special models. I am happy to see a Porsche back in the Garage Harry.

[@T.A.C.S.94]

The Ruf wheels are the perfect addition to an amazing Porsche. Congratulations Harry that’s a very special car indeed.

[@davidsherley2652]

Harry - what a gem of a car!! You are so fortunate to have been able to make a private sale. Enjoy!!!

[@SmallBlogV8]

When I spotted it in the thumbnail before clicking I thought it was a Ruf of some description. Truly hadn't heard of a 930-S! Very cool car.

[@Joolz1982]

Pretty amazing Porsche thanks for explaining about it. Thanks for the heads up on some of the Oxford salted B roads will not be exploring any those until a month or two then.

[@planesailing6919]

That’s a sexy machine, especially with those RUF wheels in my opinion.

[@TheLowCodist]

Oh, my.. What a gem. And you're spot on, Harry -- I had no idea these existed.

[@uclajd]

That body style definitely holds up well today. I think if you drove it around most cities a lot of non-car people would think it's a new Porsche.

[@pnsp33]

And the car-people as well, because nowadays noone can tell if its a restomod, since there are dozens of manufacturers...

[@dappergent9422]

That is absolutely stunning. What a car. So much envy..

[@meinwarcrafttagebuch5142]

...and the nicest detail is that you now finally own a car with the steering in the right place ;-) The perfect car for your journeys to Germany and I promise it will still turn heads here too. Excellent purchase. (I know it is not your only LHD but as a German I had to make this joke, kind of the same as making jokes about Dutch with caravans ;-)

[@SoerenAU]

Hej der ❤️, 2300 DK, 🤣 LOL

[@bnuttsgee]

The RUF dealer at that time in the USA was Gary Borman Exclusive Motorcars located in New Jersey that's most likely where the wheels came from. I would ride pass the shop on my bicycle to my job and notice the RUF sign after a few passes I stopped in he gladly showed me the Porsches he was working on. circa 1990

[@nicka-j418]

Never been a Porsche fan, till now! Thank you for my epiphany. You are very lucky to find this unique car to add to your collection, and it's RED.

Wow! What a purchase. Amazing and looking forwards to watching more videos with it in.

Now that is a very pretty thing Harry, love the red with small contrasting black parts, plus those alloys set it off perfectly. Great addition to the collection

[@fritzbrause6332]

Congrats to the Turbo S Harry. May I add a personal taste note? Those black "mascara" rings on the headlight may be original but unfortunately not pretty. Can you get a set of guards red ones and store the black ones for the time being? Thank you in advance. :-D

It’s still about toys and joys. Well done.

[@thepatchface7236]

Utterly beautiful and perfect addition to your amazing garage. I love the Ruf Wheels, as I'm biased, grew up loving Rufs,even their humble 3400 Spyder, so the rims remind me of the Ruf BTR, memories...

If that 930 came UNDER your radar, then surely you would have missed it! Harry knows cars - but not military equipment apparently!!

[@anthonybrand6137]

That's a wonderful, rare Porsche Harry & a great addition to the collection! The Lamborghini, Ferrari & now this 930 S are all in red, which really complements their sporty looks.
