This gleaming white 1988 Porsche 944 2. 7-litre is a well-cared-for car that’s being offered at No Reserve. A highly authentic example, it boasts the original teledial alloy wheels which present very well indeed. This is testament to meticulous servicing throughout its life; the vendor reports it has a fully stamped-up service book from new. “It has a lot of paperwork from the previous owners – for example, back in 2010, someone spent £2, 700 recommissioning it.” During their ownership, they have carefully maintained it, with annual services and MOTs – and the car will be sold with a fresh 12-month MOT.
‘F229RGS’ has in the past six weeks, been fitted with a new clutch slave cylinder, new cooling fan and new starter motor to prepare it for sale. The vendor adds that they have replaced the engine’s belts in line with Porsche workshop requirements – the first time in 2018, and once again in December 2024, with an invoice of £2, 300 confirming this. The car has two keys, a spare wheel, jack and tool kit. It also has the original Porsche-supplied handbook still in its period leather folder. This 1988 car is a later 2. 7-litre version, which was only produced for a few years and therefore is becoming rare today. The odometer reads 172, 000 miles, which makes it ‘barely run in’, experts will attest.
The Porsche 944 was introduced in 1982 as a development from the 1970s 924. Inspired by a wide-body 924 Carrera GT prototype, it was much more muscular, with more contoured wings and a wider, more planted rear. Crucially, it had a bespoke Porsche engine – a 2. 5-litre four-cylinder that was essentially half a 928 V8. It continued to use the 924’s transaxle setup, and was constantly developed throughout its lifetime, including the arrival in 1985 of a much more contemporary and premium-feeling interior. The engine was enlarged to 2. 7 litres and, later, 3. 0-litres, and it was also turbocharged. Its popularity saw Porsche produce more than 163, 000 944 by the time it was replaced by the 968 in 1991.
In summary:
· 1988 Porsche 944 offered at No Reserve
· Fully-stamped service book from new
· Highly original example
