Lot details Registration No: H357OEE Chassis No: WP0ZZZ94ZLN402085 Mot Expiry: March 2013
Introduced in 1982, Porsche's front-engined, rear-wheel drive 944 was a direct development of the 924 and was built around a re-engineered 924 platform. The company replaced the Audi engine with their own four-cylinder unit of 2.5-litres which, despite having few common parts, was effectively half of the 5-litre V8 that powered the 928. The 944 S2 saw the light of day in 1989, by which time the engine had grown via 2.7-litres to 3.0-litres in capacity, turning the newcomer into a 150mph car. For the first time there were two body styles to choose from - Coupe and Cabriolet. A total of some 9,352 S2 Coupes were produced before the 944 model range was superseded by the 968 in 1991.
The right-hand drive 944 S2 being offered is finished in the classic Porsche hue of Guards Red and trimmed in contrasting Cream leather. A manual transmission example, it is currently graded as follows by the vendor: bodywork, paintwork, interior trim and four-cylinder engine "7/10"; five-speed gearbox, '8/10'. The odometer currently displays an unwarranted 180,000 miles and the Porsche is being sold complete with fully stamped service history (including records of the attention to belts and balancing shafts), a percentage of which is courtesy of franchised dealers. 'H357 OEE' is MOT'd until March 2013.
