1993 PORSCHE 968 CLUB SPORT

KEY FACTS

• A rare low-mileage example of the sought-after modern classic, with uprated suspension, presented in very good order with solid maintenance history.
• It is powered by the 3.0-litre inline-four, producing around 237bhp, coupled with the six-speed manual transmission.
• The car has been maintained by a combination of marque main dealers and specialists.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• It was ordered from the factory with the M030 suspension, along with the L220 limited-slip differential and ‘Cup 1’ alloy wheels.
• The suspension has since been given a KW3 Club Sport upgrade, but the original Koni M030 components have been restored and will be supplied in the sale.
• A lightened flywheel has also been fitted.
• The interior features the sought-after hard-shell Recaro bucket seats, rear seat delete option, and has been specified without a stereo, sunroof or extending rear parcel shelf with lightness in mind.
• Accompanying the vehicle are the original owner’s manual, service book, sales brochures and build sheet, along with a raft of maintenance invoices.
• The car has only three owners from new. The first owner – who kept this 968 from 1993 until 2015 – accidentally re-registered the car in his own name when he moved house, so there are three previous keepers showing rather than the actual two.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Its Grand Prix White paintwork is in excellent condition, with the vendor noting the front bumper and bonnet have undergone a respray. There is one stone chip on the front bumper and another on a side skirt, which are only noticeable under close inspection.
• Its Recaro seats are in great shape, with just some light wear to the driver’s bolsters.
• No electrical faults have been detected.
• The most recent MOT test was on 18 December 2020 at 45,384 miles, which was a first-time pass with no advisories or defects.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent scheduled maintenance was undertaken in April 2021 at 45,631 miles, where technicians at Porsche Centre Bolton changed the engine oil, though the filter was changed at Jasmine PorschaLink UK a week later.
• At previous recent services, the vendor reports that new timing belts and pulley wheels have been fitted, along with a new clutch and slave cylinder.
• The original exhaust has been cleaned and re-fitted.
