Highlights Lauded transaxle car with 211bhp 3L engine and manual box New water pump and cambelt fitted 7,000 miles ago Upgraded polybushed suspension with Bilstein shocks Recent bodywork repairs and new sills Tidy car in black with grey leather MOT valid until August 2027 The Appeal Perhaps without the 911 it wouldn’t have taken quite as long for the 944’s qualities to be properly appreciated. This beautifully balanced transaxle Porsche is one of the best front-engined sports cars of its generation, particularly in 211bhp 3L Series 2 form. The cabriolet arrived in 1989 and was practically hand-built. That made it expensive, which likely explains why just 5,656 were sold, of which only around 1,200 were RHD cars like this early one. Finished in black with grey leather, it is a tidy manual gearbox car with recent paintwork and new sills. The history file indicates that the gearbox was rebuilt and the clutch replaced some years ago, and the suspension was polybushed and fitted with Bilstein shocks. The cambelt was replaced in 2016, around 7,000 miles ago. The vendor tells us the engine and gearbox are in fine working order, with strong oil pressure, and the cooling system is said to be functioning as it should. There are points to note cosmetically, but with no structural advisories on the MOT, it is ready to go. The vendor says: “Engine and gearbox in excellent working order. Oil pressure excellent. Engine cooling system working perfectly. 211 Bhp is still there. Excellent working condition for age.” Key Information Mileage: 34,276 miles displayed (odometer replaced, estimated actual mileage is 123,000 miles) Country of registration: United Kingdom Technical inspection status: MOT valid until August 2027 with minor advisory Technical specs: 211bhp 2,990cc inline four-cylinder, five-speed manual Paperwork: handwritten notes, invoices, photos The Detail £2,000 of paintwork repairs in 2024 with new sills reported to have been fitted too Black paintwork with side decals in fair condition for a car of this age Bodywork described as showing signs of ageing but with no serious rust issues Some light scuffs, chips and marks to note to paintwork in photo s Factory alloy wheels in good order with quality matching Toyo Proxes fitted Black fabric folding roof in good order with clear screens No structural advisories on MOT Grey leather interior in good order for age with some wear to usual high traffic areas Largely standard interior with modern Pioneer stereo fitted Some age and staining to note carpets Minor advisory to note on MOT
