Classic Porsches aplenty will be sold at Shannons Summer Timed Online Auction, running from February 22 – March 1.

The 9 Porches cover almost 60 years from 1956 to 2005 can be had.

First, a rare 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Club Sport is one of 340 cars made. It comes with the option code M637, and is one of 53 made in factory right hand drive for the UK market. This makes it even rarer than the iconic 1973 RS 2.7 of which 1,580 were made.

The CS was a limited production model in addition to the 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupes and Cabriolets, and debutedin 1988 for the 1989 model year. It was a bare bones model of the heavier 911 . It had no rear seats, no rear wiper, little sound-deadening and no power-assisted options, with even the rear engine cover 'Carrera' badge deleted to pare its kerb weight down 70kg to 1,160kg.

In addition to being pared to the bone, the engine was blueprinted, had sodium-filled exhaust valves. Porsche made no claims about performance, but most Club Sports had between 240 to 245 horsepowe, betweent 9 to 14 HP more than the standard Carrera 3.2. However, reduced weight improved the 0-100 km/h to 5.1 seconds, on to a top speed of 248 km/h.

The low milage of 92,219 miles should a sale price of $320,000-$360,000.

Next, the Australian delivered 1956 Porsche 356A 1600 Coupe has competition provenance. It had a ground-up restoration beginning in 2008.

It was delivered new in Sydney by Diesel Motors, to motorsport enthusiast Ken Tucker, who then 356 competed in the Northern Hill Climb Championship at Inverell 1957. That event was followed by the Waterfall Hill Climb, and the 7000-mile Ampol Trial in 1958 , finishing 12th in the 1500-3000cc class.

It was sold in 1980, only to find itself stored unloved and partially disassembled in a weatherproof barn until about 2008. This kept it in excellent condition for the fully-documented restoration that then followed.

It comes on the original Polyantha Rot paintwork, and Beige leather trim. The  1716cc engine has slightly more power, and wide-rimmed steel wheels, but is factory correct in all other important details.

Taking in to account the various factors, selling prices should be  $200,000-$240,000.

Next: Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe is so rare that it was available for one-year-only, and is the fastest version of the first water-cooled 911 (Type 996) model of which just 1500 Turbos were built in 2005.

996 had new twin turbo version of the 3.6 litre 24-valve engine and was good for 420hp, with AWD and a six-speed gearbox. At the time, the Turbo S was the one of the world's fastest production road cars, with a 0-100km/h of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 317km/h.

The 996 is in fabulous condition in its Slate Grey metallic livery, and a black full leather interior with carbon-fibre interior highlights. The factory right hand drive 6 Turbo S coupe should go for $165,000-$180,000.

Convertible 911s include a low-kilometre, Australian-delivered (Type 996) Ocean Blue Metallic 1999 Carrera 4 Tiptronic Convertible with a removable factory hard top offered with 'no reserve' and expected to sell in the $45,000-$55,000 range and a now-collectible, unrestored and UK-delivered black-on-black 1984 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet in good overall condition that is expected to bring $80,000-$100,000.
