1994 Porsche 968 Sport
Estimated at £18,000 - £22,000
Lot details
Registration No: T.B.A.
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ96ZRS815489
Mot Expiry: Oct 2019
- 1 of 306 UK supplied 968 Sport models
- Recently recommissioned following a period of dry storage
- High quality repaint, wheels refurbished, fresh tyres and 4 wheel alignment
Launched during September 1991, Porsche claimed the 968 was `eighty percent new' in comparison to its 944 predecessor. More evolution than revolution, the newcomer inherited one of the finest front-engined, rear-wheel drive chassis that money could buy with near perfect weight distribution. Powered by a 3-litre DOHC 16v four-cylinder engine (240bhp / 305Nm) allied to either six-speed manual or four-speed Tiptronic transmission, the 968 could accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds and on to 156mph. Available from Spring 1993, the Club Sport version boasted lowered / stiffened suspension, larger 17-inch Cup alloy wheels, reduced sound deadening, a non-airbag steering wheel and rear wash / wipe delete. The result was a lighter, even more driver focused machine that earned Performance Car magazine's `Performance Car of the Year' award. Built on the same production line as the Club Sport, the UK-market Sport boasted the same dynamic upgrades but added a tailgate release, electric windows, central locking and occasional rear seats. Of the 1,923 Club Sports made, 306 came to the UK in `Sport' guise with a further 179 in `Club Sport' guise.
1 of just 306 UK-supplied 968 Sport models, this particular example has recently been recommissioned following a period of dry storage by Bristol Classic Car Restorations Ltd. As well as a full repaint, the Porsche has had its cambelts replaced and fluids changed. Showing some 94,000 miles to its odometer, the 2+2-seater retains its original Black cloth upholstery and rides on refurbished 17-inch alloy wheels shod with fresh Uniroyal tyres. Starting readily upon inspection and pulling well through the gears, this rare and handsome driver's car is offered for sale with original build sticker, spare wheel, sundry paperwork and fresh MOT certificate.
