I will have to sell my '89 2.7 at some stage soon as we are moving to France, whereupon I shall doubtless reappear with a LHD French-registered version.
At least the rear wiper on a LHD will possibly be of some use!
Before launching myself into the collection of scammers, time-wasters and dodgy traders than make up eBay (present company excepted) I thought a quick listing here with a good price might be sensible.
There are some pics here.
Pale gold "metallic linen" body colour, with standard Recaro velour seats in dark brown with cream pinstripes. Seats / interior very good but with a couple of small cracks on the top of the dash.
Brand new high-tech indoor / outdoor tailored cover.
Two sets of wheels: the original (not kerbed or scratched) 15" teledials and a set of Porsche Cup 1's, I acquired the latter ones from a racing team (no kerbing but quite a few layers of paint!), had them refurbished/powder-coated and fitted with Conti Sports and Richbrook titanium valves a couple of thousand miles ago.
New clutch+sensors+slave cylinder and have spent lots of time keeping the detail stuff working, like rear hatch release system overhaul and ditto for the sun-roof. New rear discs / pads / shoes. Lots of fasteners replaced with stainless ones.
Manifold-back stainless exhaust system (the car has the factory decat option) which is, er, rather raucous but makes the engine noticeably freer at the top end.
Compression perfect when checked, as were the coolant system and cap pressure-tests.
Everything works, apart from the rear wiper (removed, and a posh racing bung fitted) and the headlamp washers (removed, as they don't make any difference to dirty lights but they do dump half a pint of soapy water onto the mechanisms).
Belts are about halfway through their life and last time round the seals were changed as well.
Sills have not been replaced but are sprayed internally with Dynax and I don't think this 944 has been left out in the rain very much.
Paintwork has clearly been redone and I had an expensive respray on the front end to remove chips and marks - a perfectly matched job.
It's not a perfect car but then the price isn't "perfect" either. But it does look good, sound good, run well and it has a good provenance.
MoT until 23 July, and tax to end March, mileage 165k, of which about 10k per annum for the 2 years I have owned it.
All history docs in a very full proper PCGB binder; the historic mileages all look OK.
Thinking of offering here at £2.5k with both sets of wheels or straight £2k with just the original tele-dials.
Location close to the top end of the M11.
