Hi and welcome to the forum

A valuation is available from PCGB for members

Obviously it would depend on how it has been restored and if it is modified at all some people would require a standard car. Also if memory serves me correctly your car would be a 220 and not the later 250 which was available from 1988 these seem to bring a little more when sold

your car is also in the area of model change and may or may not have the one piece front bumper or the split rear valance it may be the slotted style rear valance on your car.

History is important particularly the most recent has it had a engine or gear box rebuild during the restoration or are you refering to a full body respray and no mechanical work in short it would be difficult to estimate a true valuation on your car without any of the afore said information and obviously photographs of the front rear both sides interior and engine bay I am sure that other subscribers may have a close idea.

I recently paid £4000 for my 1987 220 turbo which requires some work to bring into a first class condition including re upholstering the front leather seats and a new header lining. Belts turbo and wastegate have been replaced recently by known independents trusted by most on the forum with documentation to show.

I hope this helps a little other members of the forum will most probably contribute in due course

Very difficult to say as there are very few restored or truly concours 944s out there as in general the cars are not worth it. Early this year there were three extremely good condition 944 Turbos (one was a cabrio) that went for a few thousand more than £10K. Your restoration sounds very thorough - glass out respray, rebuilt drivetrain and full leather re-upholstery. If these were all done to a high standard then I would say it should go for north of £10k but you may have to wait for a long time for someone prepared to pay that. For an agreed valuation classic insurance policy you ought to be aiming around the £14k area as you would really struggle to replace it if it burnt out, got flooded etc []

Whilst I like your leather interior a lot, there are some that would be severely put off by the non-standard colour scheme
