1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet For Sale

The Appeal

Porsche’s best selling sports car for a number of years, the 944 proved immensely popular and late S2 examples such as this cabriolet proved capable machines with their 3.0-litre engines and near equal front-rear weight distribution.

This 1991 Porsche was acquired by a close friend of the vendor in 2005 and has since been cherished and upgraded over time. The car then sat in a dry garage for around 4 years and has recently been taken out and freshly MOT tested. In good running order in spite of its period of hibernation, this is a smart example of the Porsche 944 and would be a great candidate for using and improving as the next owner sees fit.
