I've owned this car since April 2012, but now it's time for a change.

Guards Red
1990 H Reg
109,699 miles
Linen colour interior.
Black cloth roof with black tonneau.
Original D90 wheels.

Electric roof, ABS, power steering, electric mirrors, electric windows, pop-up headlights, alarm, immobiliser, CD player, electric seats.

Always garaged during my ownership. Never taken out on salty roads.

Below is a list of work carried out during my ownership :

Annual services, according to the book. The last 2 at Porsche main dealers OPC Tewkesbury. Inspection 2015 : http://video.citnow.com/vpRx1PzBz_1 Inspection 2016 : https://video.citnow.com/vtK71PFf2CN
Cam belts etc - twice.
Water pump.
Cam chain tensioner slipper (top and bottom).
Clutch.
Fuel pump.
Radiator.
Suspension - This year, converted to Bilstein all round as original "new" parts are over 12 years old. Springs also replaced, along with front anti roll bar bushes. Full geometry setup at Center Gravity 18th May 2016. This is the full day treatment including corner weighting. They are reassuringly expensive!
Front bumper resprayed as it had gone pink.
Lower section of doors and wings resprayed to remove stone chips and replace tatty stoneguard paint.
Seats removed for recolouring. There were no cracks or rips, but this has taken care of 25 years of ground-in dirt.
Carpets deep cleaned.
New genuine Club Sport steering wheel. I still have the old one.
New perspex panel professionally installed.
Roof recoloured and waterproofed.
Gearbox oil changed.
Brake fluid changed.
Coolant changed.
Front speakers recovered.
JMG uprated UJ steering shaft.
N-Rated tyres.

Things that work that are often broken - digital clock, heater, odometer including trip reset, electric roof.

Cills are in great condition. I still use the original jacking points. I have an endoscope, which I can put inside the cill to demonstrate the lack of corrosion to a potential buyer.

No cracks on the dashboard.

To the best of my knowledge, everything works.

If you're looking for a concourse car, this isn't it. If you're looking for a well cared for example, in great condition, with all the maintenance up to date, then this is what I'm selling.

Asking price is £11,944. Strong money I know, but there are some awful examples for sale out there for not much less. In addition, my agreed insurance valuation was increased by 50% this year, reflecting their appreciating value.

I have another 100 or so photos if you want to see more. I will also take pictures of specific areas for a potential buyer.

Car is located in Tewkesbury, which is J9 off the M5. It's about halfway between Bristol and Birmingham


If this advert sounds familiar, I initially posted it earlier this year, but withdrew it. Since then, I've decided to swap my car roles around. What I mean is instead of the expensive Audi RS4 for a daily driver and the 944 for the weekend, I'm going to get a runabout for the daily drive and something expensive for the weekend - probably a Gen 2 Cayman S. Means I can stop being so precious about the daily driver and the Cayman would feel special. So, both the 944 and the RS4 will be going. It might be a little late in the year to sell a cab, so if it doesn't sell, I'll delay the changes until next spring.

Cheers,
Bryan

In a couple of years you may have regret selling it...

Sold to the first person that viewed. Price agreed at £11,250 and deposit paid. Collection date to be agreed. It'll be a day of mixed emotions.

Cheers,
Bryan

It shows that a good car will fetch good money. You'll have a 944 itch within the year I bet. :lol:
