MOT: June 2024
Supplied new to a J.D Appleyard Esq of St Martins, Guernsey by the official Porsche Centre, Jones’ Garage, Five Oaks, Jersey on 21st of December, 1987. Specified with headlight washers, 3-point seatbelts, sunroof and leather seats, the 944 is finished in a very seldom ordered, or seen, Maraschino Red Metallic (LY3V), which was only offered on the 944 during 1987 and 1988. The unusual country ‘option code’ of C48, rather than C16, likely refers to the car being ordered for the UK Channel Islands. First registered on the British mainland on the 8th of February 1999, ‘A14 JKE’ has been in the current ownership since 2017.
The car has been the subject of mechanical attention over the years, with various invoices for servicing and parts from Chapelgate Porsche in Dorset, Porsche Centre Wilmslow, Porsche Centre Chester and independent specialists such as Porsche Shop, Porscheworx and OCD. In 2016, the 944 went to OCD, independent Porsche specialists, for a major service and to diagnose and fix a rattle, resulting in the flywheel being replaced and an alternator refurbishment. There was further work to the seized crankcase sensors, coolant system and gear shift linkage. There are further invoices on file for rear brake pads in 2021.
The 944 received a ‘full repaint’ in the original colour in September of 2018. The process involved the panels, handles, doors, glass and rubbers. Paint was stripped and repairs carried out where required. Any corrosion was investigated (NSR quarter panel affected) and remedied. The alloy wheels were also refreshed at the same time. All carried out at a total cost of £7436.00. In 2019, the front and rear seats were finished in Cream leather by Boundary Car Care, St Helens, at a cost of c.£2000.
Recently MOT’d, the certificate takes the car through until the 14th of June, 2024. The car is offered with numerous invoices and old MOT paperwork, the Porsche handbook and the service book containing 10 stamped entries.
