1988 PORSCHE 944 2.5

KEY FACTS

• A great example of the marque’s classic transaxle sports car, which is ready to enjoy on the road.
• It is powered by a 160bhp 2.5-litre inline-four, coupled to the rare three-speed automatic gearbox.
• It was acquired by its most recent private keeper around 25 years ago, and has been well-maintained in recent years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This example was specified with Alpine White paintwork, black vinyl upholstery with pinstripe cloth centre panels, and a removable sunroof.
• A set of 16-inch 928-style alloy wheels have been fitted, but otherwise the car remains unmodified.
• Its original owner’s manuals, service book and tool roll will be included, along with a raft of maintenance invoices and MOT documents.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage, though the vendor notes that some rust repairs and resealing have been carried out over the years.
• Its Alpine White paintwork is in good condition overall, with a few stone chips on both ends, minor spots of bubbling, some flaked paint near the body mouldings, and marking behind the door handles.
• There is some lacquer damage to the 928 wheels.
• The driver’s seat has sections that have torn away over the years, so it would now benefit from a re-trim. However, the passenger seat is in very good shape.
• All of the electrics currently work as they should.
• The most recent MOT test was on 6 July 2021 at 101,182 miles, which was a pass with two advisories to monitor slight play in the offside front wheel bearing and inner steering joint.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent annual service was in July 2021 at 101,182 miles.
• Prior to this, routine services were carried out in 2019 and 2018.
• Also in 2018, the rear brake pads, cam belt, water pump, tensioner, steering belt, thermostat, auxiliary belt and rotor arm were replaced.
• The fuel pipes were replaced in 2017.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 944 2.5 is a solid example of a stylish classic sports car, with the rare automatic gearbox and a timeless Alpine White over black colour scheme.
