1993 PORSCHE 968 COUPE - MANUAL

KEY FACTS

• An honestly presented example of Porsche’s front-engined rear-wheel-drive sports coupe.
• Under the bonnet is a 237bhp 3.0-litre inline-four engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.
• In current ownership for six years, and benefiting from a recent overhaul of the braking system.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Presented in dark blue metallic paintwork and with grey leather interior, this 968 is equipped with an electric sunroof and electrically adjustable front seats.
• Sitting on the correct five-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels, this coupe comes with a Sony stereo, the original tool-kit, three keys and a stamped service book.

CONDITION

• The vendor describes the exterior of this 968 as being in fair condition. There are various age related marks and scuffs around the vehicle – all of which can be seen in the photographs. It would make a good starting point for someone who is looking for a straightforward improvement project, though is perfectly usable as-is.
• The inside of this Porsche coupé is in similar condition. The seats are free from tears but do exhibit obvious signs of wear, as does the gear shifter and handbrake trim. The headlining around the sunroof would benefit from some attention and both the cigarette lighter and courtesy lights are not functioning.
• The original manufacturing plates and specification stickers are present.
• The vehicle’s last MOT test was on 16 April 2021 at 133,880 miles. The only two advisories were regarding slight pitting to the metal fuel pipes and a small chip in the windscreen.

SERVICE HISTORY

• In May 2021, the car was treated to an overhaul of the braking system, including refurbished callipers and new hoses at the cost of more than £1200. The invoice for this is included.
• Prior to this, the vendor has taken care of general maintenance including oil, coolant and spark plug changes. The service book charting the early records for the car is present.

SUMMARY

As a fun, practical and affordable entry point to modern classic Porsche ownership, this 968 Coupe ticks a lot of boxes. With a taught chassis and manual gearbox, it offers the kind of analogue driving experience that is becoming harder to find in more recent machinery. This particular car remains highly original and is ready to drive, or could also be treated to some sympathetic refurbishment.
