Hi there
I'm considering a 944 TURBO 'S' purchase. Rose Silver colour is fine for me as preference. If anyone has a good example with decent service history for sale please do let me know.
thank you

No need to apologise :ROFLMAO:

With only circa 77 Silberrosa Turbo S cars coming to the UK they tend to come up through national auction sites more often than privately. Certainly I don’t know of any currently for sale.
 
FWIW In the Mid 2000;s A guy called Steve Cox who had a Silver Rose and was active in TIPEC and on the Titanic forum organised a meeting to try and get as many Silver Rose cars together. 22 turned up

Steve is still about...I have some fond memories of Titanic days and seeing Steve at various events. IIRC he no longer has his car, he's still active on FB.

The car was broken up in Scotland. It was a rot box, Alastair had it with a view to sorting it, it honestly needed a new shell. Not entirely sure where it went next, but the burgundy CS steering wheel out of it now lives in my car!

It all depends on the history and condition of the Turbo S in question. I am aware of the current market prices of ones currently being advertised.

If someone kept the chassis plate and engine block, perhaps it has or will be re shelled.

Might be wrong, but I think the engine went to Norway, not sure where the shell and log book went. Alastair definitely parted with it.
 
I vaguely recall a brand new engine being passed around years ago, I thought that got shipped off somewhere like Sweden or Norway? Back then no one knew that an original run Turbo S, would one day be hyped up price wise. So much like a long gone RS Escort, all that's needed for a car to rise from the dust, is a V5 and chassis plate. Which today, might be worth what the complete car was 20 years ago.
 
This may come to nothing but I am going to view a forgotten "88 MH plated 944 Turbo" that is a "pinky silver" with a "dark red striped cloth seats and door cards" and has "S2 type wheels but the holes are bigger and they are polished finish"

This car has been dry stored in the corner of a farm in the Athlone area for around 18 years.

Here in Ireland in the late 90s and early noughties a lot of 924's and 944's came from your parts. this is when they had reached rock bottom and eBay was very prevalent. A good lot were in poor condition and were razzed until they gave trouble then parked. Any I hear about are visited and documented.

This particular car is worth visiting no matter - The person who gave the description and contact details is not a car person so its worth it to me to go see the car anyway. If it is a silver rose it will be a find and a half, if not well its another tallied and documented.
 
Leather and sports seats is my preferred choice. Neither of which originally came in the silver rose AFAIK.
