Silverstone Auction 944 Turbo S

[wibble]

I was at the Silverstone Auction today and saw this fabulous 944 Turbo S - Guards Red paintwork was immaculate as were Club Sport alloys https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/1988-porsche-944-turbo-s-8431
Went for over £35k. The 968s were fetching £20k+. The 928 GT was a good price.

That number plate is very familiar, but I guess I must have seen it at a concours or in a magazine. Does look stunning, but £35K is pretty impressive.

The 928 GT and the 968 Clubsports didn't seem to make big money...

The first lot was a 928S, originated from South Africa. Looked immaculate, unusual colour, but went for under £10k. That was a good buy.

It was owned by Tony Booth and has competed in Concours at the Lotherton Show a few times. Lovely clean car

I think I've seen that plate before on another car,,,might have been in one of the published books on the model,,,don't think it was red, though, I seem to recall grey but it may have been a B/W picture??

If I was looking to spend big on a Turbo S it would have to be a Silver Rose. I'd view a red/black/ Turbo S and a full spec MO30 89 Turbo in the same light.

Odd sports seats weren't standard. And American cars had a sunroof.

That plate was on Gareth Husbands car, last time I saw it, it was upside down in a field so hope it is not the same car! It was also red.

£35k - blimey!

The purists would point out it's not even standard with a letterbox exhaust and modded engine. Does look gorgeous [8D]
