2007 Porsche 911 997 GT3 RS - estimate: £130,000 - £150,000

Launched in 2006, the 997 iteration of the RS ‘Rennsport’ is regarded as one of the last ‘pure’ variants of the faster, lightweight ‘RS’ Porsches, due to its six-speed manual gearbox, hydraulic steering and an engine you can ‘see’.

This ‘gen.1’ 997 GT3 RS is in rare factory option Porsche Orange paint with black details, which is an option reserved only for this model.

The car comes complete with a current MOT and a recent service and has covered a mere 5,527 miles since it was delivered new. This car represents a unique opportunity for buyers to buy a ‘untouched’ example of this iconic 997 GT3 RS.

1989 Porsche 911 930 ‘Slantnose’ - estimate: £150,000 - £170,000

A genuine factory produced example, which was built in April 1989. The car is believed to be the last C16 UK RHD cars produced, being number 50/50 limited edition examples.

The 935 and 936s, as raced by racing legends such as Jackie Ickx and Jochen Mass, inspired the distinctive look of the 930 SE. The 930 ‘Slantnose’ was essentially a normal 930 with a 935-style sloping front end.

Porsche modifiers RUF has fettled this particular car that will be in The Porsche Sale auction and upgraded the power output from 330bhp to 450bhp. The car has covered just 32,500 miles since new and since it is believed to be the last of 50 RHD UK specifications cars built, it is worth serious consideration.

1993 Porsche 911 964 Carrera 2 Targa Florio - estimate: £36,000 - £40,000

To celebrate the life of the 964 and Porsche's historical success in the Targa Florio road race, the marque created a number of limited edition 'run-out' Targa Florio editions, of which only six came to the UK in right-hand-drive specification.

Built by 'Porsche Exclusive' in late 1993, this particular car was finished in black metallic paintwork with a light grey leather (both of which were reserved for this model only and the later '993' 911) it is in superb condition today.

The car has just had a full service, new clutch, brake refurbishment and comes to the sale with a fresh MOT.

1974 Porsche 914 - estimate: £20,000 - £24,000

The Porsche 914 was a project that was designed, manufactured and marketed jointly with Volkswagen between 1969 and 1976.

Joining the auction is this restored left-hand drive example, with superb history and provenance. The full and exacting recomission was undertaken by American IndyCar legend and two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, Arie Luyendyk.

The car was part of Arie's legendary collection of classic cars after the restoration. It comes to the sale as a UK road-registered car with all taxes paid and a full 12 months MOT, and comes with original books, manual, sales brochure and certificate of ownership from Arie Luyendyk.Consignments are now being invited into The Porsche Sale, with interest placed on classic and modern Porsches.
