1990 PORSCHE 944 TURBO

KEY FACTS

• A very good example of the modern classic sports car, finished in the iconic hue of Guards Red and with low mileage for its age.
• As a later model car, it is equipped with the ‘Turbo S’ specification 250bhp 2.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
• It has recently been recommissioned, also benefiting from other servicing and refurbishment over the last 11 years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This example was specified with Guards Red paintwork and a Linen leather interior.
• Factory equipment includes electrically adjustable sport seats, electric windows, and an electric sunroof.
• It has been fitted with a Club Sport style steering wheel, and an aftermarket Sony stereo has also been installed. 
• Its original owner’s manual and service directory are included, along with numerous recent maintenance invoices.
• The appropriate registration ‘SIB 944’ is included in the sale.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• Its Guards Red finish is in good shape, with a few minor blemishes on the front bumper, bonnet, pop-up headlamps and door handles. In June 2011 at 65,625 miles, Bentley Automotive repaired some corrosion on the nearside rear quarter panel, repainting to match.
• Inside, the leather-trimmed sport seats are in excellent condition, now featuring just a few gentle creases. They have recently been re-connolised.
• The most recent MOT test was on 12 November 2020 at 67,754 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• It was treated to a recommissioning service in December 2020 at Bentley Automotive, where technicians changed the engine oil, filters, cam belt, PAS belt, alternator belt, brake discs, brake pads and tyres – at a total cost of £3,193.
• The car also had previous services at Bentley Automotive in June 2015 and July 2014. The latter included replacement of the DME relay and adjustment of the handbrake.
• In July 2010 at 63,946 miles, the car was fitted with a refurbished turbocharger, replacement dash pod, and its sunroof was repaired with new cogs.
• In February 2010, ProMax Motorsport installed a Level 2 Performance Kit, replaced the wastegate and knock sensor, and also fitted new radiator and PAS pipes.

With a number of significant items attended to in recent years, and with a fresh service just 1,200 miles ago, it is ready for many more miles in the hands of its next enthusiast owner, and is a particularly smart example of the breed.
