A Rare Ownership History
One previous family ownership (father bought new, then passed to son) before me.
Owned by them for 39 years; I've had it for 2 years but haven't driven it as much as expected.
Always garaged in winter ( as most cabriolets are - lending to their usual better structural condition)
Exceptional Condition & Maintenance
Structurally solid
Low mileage - 104,500 miles with an extensive history file. (
May slightly increase dependent on good weather)
Over 10,000 spent in the last 4,000 miles on major engine and gearbox work.
Engine & gearbox rebuild less than 5,000 miles ago with invoices to prove.
No modifications - all original factory extras present, including Porsche locking wheel nuts and key.
