This is one of the very last of only 64 Speedsters built for the UK market in 1989, it is also one of the finest, finished in a stunning colour combination and in superb condition having covered only 7,000 dry miles from new.
This Speedster was ordered new by Mr Jack Tordoff, a driver of some note and owner of JCT600 one of the UK's oldest and largest official Porsche dealerships. He specifically wanted the car finished in this lovely shade of Dark Forest Green Metallic and since this was only offered on the 964 model his car had to wait until the very end of Speedster production in order for Porsche to accommodate his wishes. Needless to say it is not normal for a manufacturer to be so accommodating!!. The wheel centres were body coloured and the interior trimmed in contrasting Linen leather with Charcoal beading and Sage carpets. In addition the script from the engine lid was deleted and unusually heated seats were fitted.
Following delivery the car remained on show unregistered in The JCT600 Porsche showroom into 1990. Finally after much persuasion Mr Tordoff agreed to sell the car to a favoured customer. He duly took delivery in late 1990 and obviously loved the car as he kept it until last year. During his ownership the mileage increased to just 5,600 miles, the car was only used very carefully on dry summer days. The car was returned annually to JCT600 for servicing as indicated in the stamped service book and invoices on file.
We purchased the car last summer and could not believe the amazing original condition. The Speedster was the closest to a new 930 we had seen from the original wax on the underside and in the engine bay to detail such as the perfect appearance of the brake callipers. We sold the car the weekend it arrived to a very good customer.
We recently repurchased the car from this second owners collection, he again used the car minimally, the mileage rising to just 7,000 miles. It remains in superb order throughout and comes with all books including the rare Speedster supplement and above mentioned service book - all tools are present. The car has recently been fully serviced by Dick Lovett, the official Porsche dealer in Swindon, at this time we had the rather good Porsche Classic stereo fitted incorporating CD, Bluetooth and navigation.
