Description
A rare opportunity to acquire an increasingly collectible 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo, finished in timeless white and just 76,486 miles at its latest MOT.
The 944 Turbo is one of Porsche's finest front-engined sports cars, combining strong turbocharged performance with superb balance, communicative steering and genuine everyday usability. Its rear-mounted transaxle provides excellent weight distribution and the composed, confidence-inspiring handling for which the model is renowned.
This genuine UK-market example was first registered on 18 May 1988. Its 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox the specification enthusiasts want. Carefully kept in dry storage, it is offered with an outstanding collection of supporting paperwork.
The interior is a particular highlight and presents in excellent condition for its age. The seats remain smart, supportive and well preserved, while the dashboard, controls and surrounding trim have clearly been carefully looked after. The cabin retains the distinctive, driver-focused atmosphere of the original 944 Turbo and complements the car's exterior beautifully.
Its extensive history file includes original Porsche literature, historic invoices and MOT certificates dating back to the early 1990s. These establish a remarkably consistent mileage progression from approximately 26,800 miles in 1991 to 76,486 miles at the latest MOT. A September 2011 invoice records a full service at 57,552 miles, with numerous further documents helping to demonstrate the car's long-term care.
