The most

Offering the perfect compromise between the entry-level 924 and the top-of-the-range 928, the Porsche 944 is arguably the most versatile and livable of Porsche's front-engined sports cars. The German brand was planning to replace the 911. Thankfully, that never materialised - but we're glad Porsche also made these models, which are capable of anything.

This one looks to be one of the best preserved 944s we've seen, and that's because a significant investment of time and money has been made to get it to this level. Offered with a Technical Inspection valid until October 2025, this Porsche is ready to write its next chapter.

BEFORE BUYING
This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.
We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
