Just looked out the invoice for mine when it was new. As it was a 'run-out' car to make way for the 968 the previous (and only other) owner got a huge discount, and a choice of colour. He told me that they wouldn't let him have a choice of colour so he walked out, and a few days later they called him with the OK.

£28639.36 including a full tank of petrol and 12 months road tax. He bought it on 30 July 1991, with an 'early August' delivery date.

It came from Dutton-Forshaw in St John's Wood, London.

All this info is of no real use but is nice to have to show the car's history.

Hey! that was a good discount wasnt it? You have to appreciate the quality of build of our cars and realise that although they were really expensive at the time, a lot of them are still around and running reliably unlike a lot of the 944 s contemporaries!

I agree about the daft cover for the split rear seats. Mine was in shreds when I got the car. So my other half made me a new cover from black leatheret using all the old filltings etc.
