I've decided to put my cab up for sale as I've sort of come around to keeping my '84 Lux now that I've invested into the body on it... the S2 Cab is going to need some similar investment in the not too distant future and so I'm going to bite the bullet and sell it rather than sign up for the work.
The details of the car are as follows:
1990 S2 Cabriolet in Tahoe Blue with Linen leather interior and blue power hood with matching blue tonneau cover
121k miles
Water pump and tensioners changed at last belts change - which was 4 years and 16k miles ago
Uncracked dashboard and all electrics working just fine with the exception of... (can you guess?) ...the clock!

Looks great huh? So why so cheap...? Well there is some work needed, and I've reflected this in the price. The work needed will require remedial TLC in the following areas:
NSR wing in usual place - Porkaparts repair panel supplied with car
NS outer sill in usual place - Porkaparts repair panel supplied with car
OS outer sill has been repaired and painted by PO but on the inner doorstep there is a line of raw weld that for some reason wasn't painted
The clock doesn't work
The trip-meter is a bit erratic and often sticks at 0.9 miles and requires a reboot... bit annoying actually
We love the Cabriolet, as it's pretty fast, is open topped and looks ace. It has a BRILLIANT heater and so unless it's actually raining the hood goes DOWN! The kids are going to kill me if this sells rather than the early car. I am just really stoked by the progress of the '84 and am finding myself more excited and enthused about that one than the Cabriolet.
Again, like my other car... if this one doesn't sell then it's not the end of the world, because I do genuinely like the car. That said though, my other car is priced to reflect its rarity and condition. This one is priced up as a bit of a steal for someone because I'd rather this one went, saved me the cost of metalwork and paint and gave me the chance to further improve the '84... So where are we at?
Shall we have a deal? To drive away this Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet...
Taxed 1st September 2013 for 6 months
MOT'd until 27th February 2014
Quarter of a tank of Shell V Power to send you on your way
£2,500That's a sub seven seconds 0-60 cabriolet that will storm on to almost 150 for less than the cost of a Mulberry handbag! If 944s are not the performance bargain of the moment then I don't know what is...
