1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet

Sold for £6,300

(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: J25 LMR
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZMN430364
MOT: June 2025

  • In current ownership since 2016 and just four former keepers
  • Provided with a cambelt change including new rollers and tensioners less than 100 miles ago
  • Accompanied by a large history file with documented service history
  • Rare and desirable UK-supplied S2 model (the majority of the 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets made were LHD)

Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991.

Chassis ‘430364’ was manufactured in 1991 and supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 22nd August. Finished in Light Blue paintwork, with Blue leather interior upholstery and a Blue hood, ‘J25 LMR’ covered the majority of its mileage in the early stages of its life, surpassing 100,000 miles by 2002. Purchased by the vendor in 2016, the 944 already boasted a strong history file with extensive service, maintenance, and improvement records on file. Further enhanced during the vendor's ownership, the 944 received a new windscreen and starter motor in 2017, new brake discs in 2018, and a new pressure regulator in 2022.

In 2021, the 944 benefitted from some £1,100 worth of improvements with Loe Bank Porsche specialists benefitting from new spark plugs; the cambelt, rollers, and tensioners all replaced; and further mechanical attention, with less than 100 miles covered since. Also receiving recent new brake discs and pads, the 944 is offered now having covered c.142,700 miles and has had just four former keepers. The Cabriolet is supplied with a large history file which comprises the aforementioned numerous previous invoices, a large selection of MOTs dating back to the 1990s, and extensive service history across two service books and service invoices in the file illustrating sixteen services. Offered with a current MOT until June 2025 with no advisories, and a current V5C document.
