1991 Porsche 944 Turbo Cabriolet

In February 1991, Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet, which combined the Turbo S's 250 bhp engine with the cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg in Germany. Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made, but ultimately 625 were built, 100 of which were right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African markets.

This particular "Guards Red" 944 Turbo Cabriolet was registered on 1st August 1991 to Porsche Cars GB Limited in Reading as J258 SMO which is a Reading issued registration. It would either have been a press or management car as evidenced by the fact that the first two services were carried out by Porsche Cars GB Ltd at their headquarters. It was ordered with the optional extras of M418 side protection mouldings, M494 additional amplifier, M690 CD player “CD-10” radio + ARI and M946 seat covers, front leather/leather/ leatherette (black leather with red piping).

Now registered 'J967 NLM', the Porsche has covered just under 99,400 miles which is supported by a detailed service history and almost every MOT including its very first one on 10th December 1993.

This 944 has been extremely well cared for throughout its life, having been serviced by Porsche dealers for the first twelve years and Porsche specialists thereafter including a 2014 service and cam/balance belt replacement at renowned specialist Francis Tuthill Ltd when the mileage was 98,657. It also had four new tyres fitted at about the same time.

The car comes with the aforementioned comprehensive history file and its original book pack in its black leatherette wallet.

This an opportunity to own a very rare Porsche at a realistic price in the current market. It's a right-hand drive UK supplied car, in immaculate condition, well specified, with an impeccable history, and in Guards Red with a Black interior. There are no boxes left to tick!
