ABOUT THE CAR

The Iconic Sports Car

The 930, a derivative of the first-generation Porsche 911, was the firm’s first turbocharged road car and was in production for 14 years, from 1975 to 1989.

Using technology from the 917/30 CanAm race car project, Porsche began developing the Turbo motor in 1974 using a KKK turbocharger fitted to the fuel-injected Carrera RS 3.0 flat-six engine. It delivered 191kW at 5500rpm, compared with the 169kW of the naturally aspirated motor, while peak torque was 354Nm at 4000rpm. To handle the increased outputs, a revised suspension and larger brakes were added, as well as a stronger clutch and gearbox.

Performance figures were a zero to 100km/h sprint of 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 246km/h. Faster than any other production car at the time, the 930 was catapulted into cult status, a trend that continues today with collectors.

The featured car was recently fully restored. It looks the part and delivers that almighty turbo-lag punch that made the 930 one of the most iconic cars.

Excellent all round condition. Fully restored to factory original by well-known and respected restorer Johann Piennar.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:


 

Logistics

While we endeavour to assist our Clients as much as possible, we require artwork(s) to be delivered and/or collected from our premises by the Client. In instances where a Client is unable to deliver or collect artwork(s), Aspire staff is available to assist in this process by outsourcing the services to one of our preferred Service Providers. The cost for this will be for the Client’s account, with an additional Handling Fee of 15% charged on top of the Service Provider’s invoice.

Aspire Art provides inter-company transfer services for its Clients between Johannesburg and Cape Town branches. These are based on the size of the artwork(s), and charged as follows:

Small (≤60x90x10 cm): R480

Medium (≤90x120x15 cm): R960

Large (≤120x150x20 cm): R1,440

Over-size: Special quote

 

Should artwork(s) be collected or delivered to/from Clients by Aspire Art directly, the following charges will apply:

Collection/delivery ≤20km: R400

Collection/delivery 20km>R800≤50km

Collection/delivery >50km: Special quote

 

Packaging

A flat fee of R100 will be added to the invoice for packaging of unframed works on paper.

 


International Collectors Shipping Package

For collectors based outside South Africa who purchase regularly from Aspire Art’s auctions in South Africa, it does not make sense to ship artworks individually or per auction and pay shipping every time you buy another work. Consequently, we have developed a special collectors’ shipping package to assist in reducing shipping costs and the constant demands of logistics arrangements.

For buyers from outside South Africa, we will keep the artworks you have purchased in storage during the year and then ship all the works you have acquired during the year together, so the shipping costs are reduced. At the end of the annual period, we will source various quotes to get you the best price, and ship all your artworks to your desired address at once.

Aspire Art will arrange suitable storage during, and cost-effective shipping at the end, of the annual period.

 


Collections

Collections are by appointment, with 24-hours’ notice

Clients are requested to contact the relevant office and inform Aspire Art of which artwork(s) they would like to collect, and allow a 24-hour window for Aspire Art’s logistics department to retrieve the artwork(s) and prepare them for collection.

 


Handling Fee

Aspire Art charges a 15% Handling Fee on all Logistics, Framing, Restoration and Conservation arranged by Aspire.
