This example is a 1988 Porsche 944S 16v Ventiler finished in Alpine White with a lovely contrasting Burgundy pinstripe interior. First registered on January 1st 1988, the car now shows 53, 115 miles. We also have the book pack, complete with the service booklet and 9 service invoices most recently in January 2024. A bundle of invoices for parts and maintenance are supplied dating back to 1990.
Outside, the car presents superbly well - the Alpine White paintwork is in good condition for its age, showing a few minor imperfections on the bonnet. The mileage is commensurate with the interior which appears to show no obvious scuffs, marks or tears in the upholstery, and minimal wear on the steering wheel and gear knob. The interior is in remarkable condition and really pops against the White paintwork.
£8, 655 has been spent on this well sorted example in the past 5 years, details are outlined in the bullet points above. A straight, low mileage example that has evidently been cherished throughout its life, and presents superbly well. With some minor rectifications to the paintwork this is surely a future show winner.
