If you’d forked out a hefty sum over the basic list price to specify the Porsche 911 Turbo of your dreams, could you exercise enough restraint not to drive it? The original North American owner of this Pearlescent White 964 C2 Turbo clearly could — during his 24 years of ownership, he covered just 736 miles, which means, today, it’s in genuine time-warp condition. Couple that with the car’s unique specification — including the ‘paint-to-sample’ bodywork, leather on almost every discernible surface in the interior, and a limited-slip differential — and you have perhaps one of the most desirable modern air-cooled Porsches on the market.
