Highlights

  • Owned since August 2014 and carefully maintained ever since

The Appeal 

Occupying the middle ground between the entry-level 924 and flagship GT the 928 in Porsche's front-engined, water-cooled range, the 944 offers the best of both worlds.

This 1986 example has been in present ownership since August 2014 and has undergone a great deal of mechanical work during that time. Numerous perishable components have been replaced by marque specialists including the front end engine seals, water pump, and various braking system parts. the car is accompanied by numerous invoices for work since 2014, as well as records amassed by the previous keeper over their three-year tenure.

The vendor notes a few small foibles which would still benefit from attention, but with winter approaching, now's the time to sort these last few jobs in readiness for next season.

Complete with a long MOT, this Porsche is a great candidate to enjoy and improve over time.
