SUMMARY

Understood to be one of just 50 UK-supplied Turbo Cabriolets, with low ownership and a superb maintenance record.

DESCRIPTION

  • Specification included Porsche anti-theft, Blaupunkt Symphony stereo radio cassette player, air conditioning and electric seats at a price tag of £46,994, some £100,000 today
  • This super example was originally registered on the 21/10/1991 to the first of three former keepers as one of 100 right-hand drive examples and understood to be one of just 50 UK-supplied cars
  • Diligently maintained, the service book shows a large majority of Porsche main dealer stamps and latterly specialist attention
  • Very well presented in Grand Prix White with a good driver’s mileage of some 64,400, this desirable 944 is supplied with a detailed history file and an MOT valid until January 2025
