MOT: April 2027
A distillation of everything Porsche had learnt from its previous front-engined, rear-wheel drive, four-cylinder models, the 968 is increasingly being recognised as one of the Stuttgart marque’s best built and best handling creations. Powered by a 3-litre DOHC engine developing some 237bhp/225lbft, the 2+2-seater could be specified with six-speed manual or four-speed Tiptronic transmission. The latter was dual mode and reputedly allowed the Porsche to accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.7 seconds and onto 153mph. Available in Coupe or Cabriolet guises, the former could be had with forced induction too. Among Porsche's rarest series production models, just 1,650 or so of the 12,776 examples built from 1991-1995 were to ‘C16’ (UK market) specification. Well equipped, the 968 came with a sunroof, power steering, electric windows and air-conditioning as standard.
First issued with the Middlesex registration number ‘K345 NMF’ on April 21st 1993 and thus thought to have been supplied new via AFN Ltd, chassis 800443 is accompanied by some £37,000 worth of maintenance invoices. The majority of these (over £26,500) were issued by London Porsche Specialist, Charles Ivey Ltd, whilst the 968 was owned by a Dr S. Murray and its mileage increased from 67,604 to 153,627 miles. As well as frequent servicing, the 2+2-seater had attention paid to its balancer shaft seals, rollers, cambelt tensioner, PAS, suspension bushes and sunroof seal not to mention a top-end engine refresh (skimmed head etc) at 137,177 miles. The front and rear brake discs were replaced at 151,216 and 130,370 miles respectively. Benefiting from approximately £6,500 worth of fettling since being acquired by its current registered keeper during 2017, the past 5,000 miles have seen the Porsche undergo a cambelt change, engine ECU repair, ignition system overhaul and sundry brake improvements. Passing its most recent MOT test on April 9th 2026 at 159,393 miles with ‘no advisories’, this rare, UK-supplied 968 Tiptronic is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack, duplicate service book and history file.
