Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a 3-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lbft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6 seconds and 150mph. The first open-topped 944 derivative - the S2 Cabriolet - featured a body built by the American Sunroof Company (ASC) of Weinsberg, Germany and many of the same styling cues as its Coupe sibling. Just 5,656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991.
Presented in Alpine White with contrasting blue leather interior and hood, J123 RFJ has been in current family ownership for the last 25 years. Currently displaying just 92,922 miles, this particular example also benefits from just 4 former keepers displayed on the V5 document; one of which being the owner’s late husband. A desirable manual example, J123 RFJ has recently benefited from a service including a replacement fuel pump and comes accompanied with the original bookpack including the service book which shows services every year bar one from 1992 until 2006 at 89,873 miles. The car was then stored shortly after until June of 2021 when it received another service at 92,898 miles. As well as this, a number of previous invoices, MOTs dating back to 1996, and more. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘Very Good’.
Please Note: This lot's history file contains a communication from Porsche Club GB stating they had been informed that 'J123 RFJ' was damaged and declared written-off in 1995 by an unknown insurance company. There is, however, no record of this on HPi.
