SUMMARY
With only 100 right-hand drive UK cars built, the 944 Turbo Cabriolet is indeed a rare beast, and we can't imagine there is a better example currently on the market.
DESCRIPTION
- The Turbo Cabriolet was the very last iteration of the 944 platform, utilising the Turbo S 250bhp engine and cabriolet body built by ASC of Weinsberg Germany
- Only produced for the UK and European markets and incredibly rare, 625 units were made with only a mere 100 being produced in right-hand drive
- This 1991 example is presented in Guards Red over black leather with a black hood and it is evident from our images that this Porsche has lived a pampered life
- Complete with a comprehensive history file displaying not only the usual historic MOT Certificates and Tax Discs but a raft of well organised invoices and receipts with multiple pages of summaries to display what remarkable care has been taken
- Expenditure in 2020 included a major service consisting of the usual oil and filter, belt change and replacement of all fluids including brake, transmission, gearbox and differential fluid at 95,096 miles
- More recent spending over and above a service, included a clutch kit and rear discs and pads in 2021.
- The history folder suggests a cosmetic refresh to the front end in 2017 as well as a full wheel refurb in 2015. Also included are two keys with period correct Clifford immobiliser fobs
- Very sensibly guided considering its driving prowess and rarity, this is one to be admired by all Porsche fans. A much enjoyed example, it's clear to us that every effort has been made to keep this 944 Turbo Cabriolet mechanically and cosmetically in good order
