Porsche 911 Turbo Flachbau

Condition & Originality

The car presents flawlessly in Guards Red over black leather and remains highly original throughout.

The interior is particularly special. Untouched, beautifully preserved and showing the sort of condition only possible with genuine ultra-low mileage, it provides one of the strongest indications of the car’s life to date.

The bodywork, paintwork, underside, engine bay, cabin and bespoke details all tell the same story. Everywhere you look, the car presents exceptionally. It is not simply clean or well kept; it has the presence and condition of a true concours-level collector car.

With just 2,587 miles from new, the mileage is central to the car’s appeal, but it is the way the car has survived that makes it so compelling. The originality, presentation and overall condition combine to create a Flatnose of genuine world-class standing.

Collector Ownership

The car comes from a well-known Scottish car collector, where it has been the longest-owned car in the collection and regarded for many years as one of its jewels.

That is perhaps the most telling detail. In a collection containing numerous important cars, this was the piece that remained. Its rarity, provenance, condition and story made it difficult to replace — and that will almost certainly be the case for its next owner.

Stewart Roden Motors Recommission

In 2023, following a period in dry storage, the car underwent a detailed and sympathetic recommissioning by Stewart Roden Motors — one of Scotland’s largest and best-known Porsche and Ferrari specialists, with extensive experience in everything from restoring F40s to classic Lamborghinis and Porsches.

The intention was clear from the outset: to preserve the car’s originality while bringing the mechanical presentation and usability back to the standard expected of a car of this importance.

The servicing and mechanical upkeep were brought fully up to date, with the car carefully recommissioned after its period in storage.

The underside, suspension and associated mechanical components were then treated to a sympathetic programme of work. Suspension components, engine components and underside finishes were carefully refinished. The exhaust was recoated in the correct ceramic finish. Original nuts, bolts and fixings were restored and re-anodised where appropriate.

The engine and ancillary components were removed, inspected, cleaned, restored where required and refitted.
The result is a car that remains deeply original, but now presents underneath and mechanically to a standard that matches the rest of the car. Nothing has been over-restored or altered for effect. The work was carried out with restraint, knowledge and respect for what the car is.

Market Position

Recent sales of factory Flatnose models have shown strong collector demand for the very best examples. Two lesser cars offered by a leading UK specialist are understood to have sold very quickly, achieving exceptionally strong results and underlining the strength of the market for the right car.

This example sits on a different level.

The mileage, condition, bespoke specification, first ownership and overall presentation place it far beyond the usual comparison points. This is not simply a good Flatnose, nor merely a low-mileage one. It is a concours-level factory car with a unique story and a specification that cannot be repeated.

From above, below, inside and out, the car is exceptional.

A Car Without Comparison

A factory-built Porsche 911 Turbo Flatnose is rare. A 2,587-mile example in concours condition is rarer still. A specially commissioned example, delivered new to the McLaren Formula One factory and fitted with bespoke Porsche-supplied features, is something else entirely.

There is very little with which to compare this car. It has the mileage, condition, provenance, originality and story normally associated with museum-level examples, yet it remains privately owned and is now available to the market.
