SUMMARY
Understood to be one of just 50 UK-supplied Turbo Cabriolets, with low ownership and a superb maintenance record.
DESCRIPTION
- The Porsche 944 Turbo Cabriolet was one of the most powerful open top sports cars available at the time with a 0-60mph time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 162mph
- 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
- The rare 994 Turbo Cabriolet is a third of the price of its 911 sibling, a more engaging car than the Mercedes SL and therefore a superb opportunity for the first time classic buyer
