EXTERIOR
Finished in rare Mahogany Brown Metallic this ‘86 Turbo strikes a stunning pose against our studio backdrop. Other than a few small marks and some expected stone chips along the sills the car presents very nicely indeed. It’s not a flawless example but is really well preserved, remaining free from any notable dents or prominent blemishes. After a full detail and machine polish on arrival with us the paintwork retains a great depth of shine, and even finer details such as the bumper trims and rear spoiler present in excellent condition. A very smart example of the fast-appreciating 944, in a particularly eye-catching colour combination.
INTERIOR
In keeping with the exterior of the car, the interior does not disappoint. The colour of the upholstery complements the paintwork very nicely and the condition of the leather is excellent. Some desirable factory options include the deeply bolstered sports seats, removable sunroof panel, and ice-cold air conditioning. The rich Burgundy hue extends from the seats to the centre console, dash, door cards and into the footwells where the spotless carpets are well protected by a set of genuine Porsche overmats in black. Another nice feature is the chunky sports steering wheel that not only feels great in hand but also looks the part with minimal wear to report. All the switchgear feels reassuringly solid to operate and the leather gear knob is like new. Being really picky there are one or two minor cracks on the dash top but certainly nothing to detract from the overall highly impressive finish.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The engine bay is very well presented and shows no signs of any damage, rust, or previous poor repair. The paintwork remains in fantastic condition and the metal components are free from any notable oxidisation. After some time in dry storage the current owner has spent in excess of £14, 000 having the 944 fully re-commissioned by his trusted performance car specialists. A full vehicle health check was carried out on arrival with us and the car was found to be in great mechanical shape with a very good, solid underside. The MOT is valid until February 2024.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The 944 sits on attractive 16-inch ‘Teledial’ alloy wheels, all in excellent condition with only a couple of very small marks to report on close inspection. They are shod in Uniroyal tyres all round with 7mm of tread left at the front and 4mm at the rear. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition, stopping the car quickly and in a straight line; new pads and discs were fitted all round at 85k miles.
HISTORY FILE
This attractive Mahogany Brown 944 Turbo was first registered in Jersey in June 1986; it was supplied new by Jones’ Garage in Five Oaks. Since arriving in England in 2004 the car has seen only 2 additional keepers, as shown on the V5C. The current owner – a collector of rare classic sports cars and motorcycles – purchased the 944 back in 2016 and has since spent an eye-watering £14, 000 on maintenance and servicing.
Within the accompanying History File the lucky new owner will receive the original Porsche document wallet and driver’s manual, service booklet, a raft of invoices from the current keeper’s tenure, MOT certificates, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming the car’s original build spec, and a spare key.
