Rare Baltic Blue / Marine Leather
97000 Miles
Concours
Investment Quality Porsche Show Car
What we have here is an opportunity to acquire one of the sweetest most
genuine
series 2 944's available anywhere. Becoming a really hard article to find
with
low miles. We are therefore feeling genuinely excited with this lovely Show
condition example that is factory correct to the last eye popping detail.
944
Coming from an era when Porsche were really trying and as such these models
were
over engineered to a level that no other mass production Porsche model ever
had
been before, or arguably has since. Precision balance due to perfect 50/50
weight
distribution and a superb fair weather touring car, it eats roads up with
total
composure and prowess, a remarkable balance of power and drive. The build
quality
is second to none and was made to stand the test of time and consequently
has.
This S2 Coupe
First reg'd: New Years Day 1990
Chassis: WP0ZZZ94ZLN400611
Engine: 42L01777
A member of the House of Lords, the previous keeper kept this car 5 years.
It's
had 7 keepers in its' 26 years, not high for this sort of car at all.
Crucially, there must have been a huge figure spent banishing the miles
making
this the beautiful car that it is. If it had just 5000 miles on it, you
wouldn't
argue.
Condition is simply fantastic with what looks like a huge amount of brand
new
items in and around the car and there is a huge file of paperwork presented
in
chronological order to accompany. Unmarked and in concourse condition it
exudes
a softness and shine normally only associated with brand new cars, too clean
to
drive, this is for Sunday shining, for looking at and talking about at
meets.
Record keepers will be delighted with a presentation ring binder file that
accompanies with all the old MoT's, invoices bills etc, two inches thick.
Lots
of information stretching as far back as 1993. Service booklet is present,
it
has just been serviced and timing belts done 2016.

Karroserie
Paintwork is simply stunning, the car is too nice to drive. There are no
marks
at time of writing, it really looks like it's just come off the production
line.
A walk round of the body reveals stunning paint with a smooth high gloss
finish,
not a chip or tar spot in sight. The panels around the front of the car
align
perfectly with clean and even gaps and the whole body shines with the same
level
of finish which is of a very high quality.
Lower wings and sills are a soft spot on 944's, but this example has it's
original
sills and they have been well preserved and inspect perfectly. The clear
stone
guards are present and so well fitted they are almost invisible and the
rarely-ever-seen number plate mounts are present front and rear, mounted
with the
correct fittings and grommets. All rubber trim is immaculate and well
preserved
around the glass and particularly the boot spoiler could be new. All around
the
circumference of the windscreen and the sunroof is perfect also. Badging and
decals
and gaskets all appear as new, tow eye covers present and perfect, correct
red fuel
cap works from the master key and all light lenses are clear and free from
any
damage.
This is a car in concourse condition. It really must been seen in the flesh.
Cabin
Leather comfort chairs in navy (Marine) blue, a theme that stretches
throughout the
cabin. All is amazing in here, unworn gear shifter, perfect beautifully
finished
steering wheel and a working clock, the carpet mats are brand new and of the
highest
quality, the lighter works, no broken hinges on the glove or armrest, no
missing
carpet tacks etc etc.. None of the common 944 problems here.
Everything works, all presents well and I can see there has been significant
expenditure on brand new genuine/factory items in many places. It appears
anything
that may have shown even slight wear - has been replaced for brand new.
ICE
All original factory Blaupunkt Toronto radio cassette and factory option 10
speaker
Hi-Fi has never been interfered with and it works! Open the centre console
and you
can store your cassette tapes in the sleeves - lovely to see this for
completeness
usually these are discarded. Top marks again.
Wheels & Tyres
Wheels are as new, freshly refinished and with zero marks. Handles like a
ballet
dancer with the correct S2 set up:
205/55/16 Front Uniroyal
225/50/16 Rear Dunlop SP
All tyres are nearly new and have at least 7mm off treads and correct
factory
specified coloured crested centres finish each corner off perfectly and the
lightweight magnesium bolts are all tidy and finished properly. This is the
work of
a keen enthusiast. Looks like new.. 10/10 again.
Final word
We have sold many 944 models over the years and they have a massive
following,
amongst the finest engineered cars ever made, today they are cheap to run
and insure
and are a really good solid investment with now steady appreciation. This
one is
special, drop dead gorgeous right down to the set of spare keys and immob'
fob.
For the collector, enthusiast or an investment purchase.
