For a car designed as a stop-gap model between the outgoing Porsche 944 and the forthcoming Boxster, the Porsche 968 was quite an achievement. Voted by Performance Car magazine the best handling car 1993, the 968 had a lot going for it. Despite its excellence, the four-cylinder Porsche was launched at a problem time, with recession hit Britain largely turning its back on the marque, associated as it was with eighties excess. This makes it quite a rare sight on Britain's roads, and coupled with the fact that it was only produced for three years, makes used examples less than commonplace.
If you're a fan of the marque you'll know about the 968's driver appeal, its reliability and ruggedness. If not, a test drive has the ability to convert even the most hardened cynic. Since the 968 range was axed at the tail end of 1995, Porsche have gone from strength to strength, but a drive in any 968 model is enough to remind you that many of today's sports coupe's would have to break a sweat to compete with Porsche's engineering expertise.
1 of only 306 UK market 968 Sport models produced, this example was supplied new by Porsche Centre Nottingham. Purchased by the vendor in April 2011 from Hagley Specialist Cars, it is fitted with the desirable manual gearbox and attractively finished in Iris Blue with black leather / cloth upholstery. Spending a year in the Netherlands from 2011 – 2012 where it was serviced and inspected by Porsche Service Visser whilst the owner was working there, it returned to the UK in 2012. Regular servicing was then carried out by Two Plus Two Porsche Specialists in Old Hill, West Midlands until 2018 when the vendor moved to Singapore. In September that year the car was overhauled by transaxle Porsche Specialist Nash Hunter / Retro Restorer of Banbury and all belts were replaced. New tyres were fitted in 2019 and the car was dry stored until the vendor’s return in July 2024. Used regularly as a second car since then, we are advised there is a small mileage discrepancy between 2020 and 2021 due to a cluster change with the car now registering some 151,700 miles. Offered with Swansea V5C, book pack and a plethora of invoices, this cared for example is worthy of close inspection.
