Condition
The Alpine White paintwork remains in very good condition for its age. The Burgundy Pinstripe interior remains well preserved with minimal wear evident to the seats, steering wheel and gear knob.
The car's documented history supports its low mileage and demonstrates a lifetime of careful ownership and ongoing maintenance. With over 10,000 invested during the last five years, this is a straight, honest and well-sorted 944S.
The car is kept in a modern garage hence the well-preserved condition, this attractive Ventiler would make an excellent addition to any car collection and has attracted serious attention at classic car shows.
