About this car

This 1980 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) has a notable first owner: it was ordered new through Duncan Hamilton & Co as a gift from Led Zeppelin for their manager, Peter Grant. He kept it until his death in 2005, and it stayed registered in his name until the current keeper bought it.

It was specified in black with a full burgundy leather interior, which extends to the dashboard and knee roll, plus air conditioning and a sunroof. The odometer showed about 12,000 miles when the current keeper acquired it and now reads 13,000. It is unrestored and described as highly original.

It is right-hand drive with a four-speed manual gearbox. The page lists one former keeper, two keys and a full service history. The price is on application.

Porsche 911 buying guide

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1964 and has kept the same basic layout throughout: a flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, two seats up front and two small ones behind. The range runs from the everyday Carrera and Targa to the four-wheel-drive Turbo and the track-focused GT3 and GT3 RS. Buyers choose it because it works as a daily car, is well built and has a large network of independent specialists.
