CONDITION

• The convertible hood is very smart indeed, with no significant marks, scuffs, or other damage.
• Furthermore, the alloy wheels are in great shape and only feature a few minor kerb scuffs.

SUMMARY

The only naturally aspirated convertible model in the series, the Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet marked the end of 944 production before the model was replaced by the 968. Maintained to a high standard and with fewer than 20,000 miles on its odometer, this particularly well-preserved example would make a superb addition to any Porsche collector’s stable, and would be equally at home on display as it would be cruising along its next owner’s favourite roads on a bright summer’s day.
