I'm sat here writing this and not sure if I should press the submit button or just delete it and see how I feel in 2 months time [&:]
For those that know me I am lucky enough to have 3 Porsches in my garage and I am finding it increasingly difficult to get much time to drive any of them and they are not being used to their full potential. The 944 Turbo S is the one that I feel I can just get in and drive and probably is the one that gives me the most driving fun (especially in previous years when we have gone on our European Tripe to Dinslaken, Stuttgart etc.), but it is also the one that should be the easiest to sell due to its value compared to my other 2 cars.
The car is not standard and has been modified to give over 320bhp (Wayne Schofield mapped it for me 18 months ago) but it could be returned to standard if someone wanted to do so.
The interior is also changed from standard as the original seats and door cards had faded over the years so I replaced the seats with Sport Seats and had them recovered in the Burgundy Check plaid material with leather bolsters and backs and had the rear seats done at the same time. I also had the door cards re covered and a CS steering wheel covered by Royals in burgundy to match the rest of the interior.
There is a large service file included with the car including receipts for work done before and during my ownership and I am happy to discuss specific details of the car with anyone who is interested in it. The car can be viewed in Gretna (Scotland), about 6 miles over the border from Carlisle near Junction 45 of the M6 by prior appointment.
The car mileage is currently 107,969 and it has an MOT until 18th March 2017. It passed with no advisories which has been the case for a number of years. It had a Full Service in March 2015 (at 106,739 miles) and new ignition leads and spark plugs fitted in March 2016.
All the belts were changed along with the engine mounts in September 2012 (at 102,467 miles) and both rear M030 torsion bars were replaced in September 2013 (at 104,289 miles). The rear fuel lines were also replaced while the axle/sub frame was out at this time.
I also have a spare set of refurbished CS alloys that I will offer to the buyer if they wish at extra cost before I offer on the Forum.
Price is a tricky one and I am finding it hard to compare it to anything currently out there for sale especially as it is a Limited Model. I have set the price at £19,000 and will see where I go from there.
