Seller's description
This 944 started life as an N/A lux model. The previous owner swapped in a 2.5 turbo engine with a host of other modifications. I have continued the project into its current condition. There is a list of modifications in the photos. The car is a track and fast road focused build, it has no radio, no ABS, no power steering, rear seat delete and no A/C, roll Cage and a brake bias. With 280bhp the car goes well and makes some great turbo noises. With sound proofing and new carpets It's also fine up the motorway. I only managed to get on 2 track days, it performed faultlessly. As I'm a novice it was driven with considerable mechanical sympathy which the tyre wear shows. I have mainly used the car for car shows and weekend blasts. It is always well received wherever it goes and is a very engaging drive. There are some parts I haven't got round to sorting. The front fog lights are not wired up but the wires are there ready to go. I was planning on deleting the sunroof but had second thoughts so it's currently sealed shut. I was considering making it a manual operating sunroof. It will be for the new owner to decide what they'd prefer. Despite an engine rebuild under my ownership it does leek a little bit of oil. It hasn't changed or increased since the rebuild and doesn't affect the MOT. The front bumper is low with 8cm clearance. I did have it painted and repaired but it's caught the ground since and has a few stress marks. Seems unavoidable on Devon roads. I think that's an honest appraisal, it's a wicked looking, sounding and driving car but I have other hobbies that need funds and haven't found the time to use it. It's time for someone else to enjoy it on track, at car shows and down twisty A roads. Open to sensible offers
