1986 Porsche 944

Description

Oval-dash 2.5 manual with lift-out sunroof; pinstripe interior; scope to use and improve showing 108,169 miles

Dating from January 1986 this ‘Oval-dash’ Porsche 944 is finished in Grand Prix White and sits on its original 15” Teledial alloy wheels.

Under the bonnet, we find the 2.5 litre M44.40 four-cylinder engine which developed 161bhp when new driving the rear wheels via five-speed transmission which was hung out the back.

Inside, we find burgundy half vinyl and cloth interior with four-way electric adjustment, the ‘oval dash’ of the facelifted cars, electric mirrors, electric windows, electric aerial, heated rear screen, digital clock and radio/CD player.  The 944 also features an ingenious electric lift-out sunroof creating a partial Targa top which is stored in the boot.

The car shows 108,169 miles and presents well enough for its age, although there are some signs of previous cosmetic repair and of it having led a 37 year life, as with inside, the seats looks presentable although there is some work to do to the rear seat squabs and headlining but nothing that looks too intimidating.

The history file includes the V5C revealing 15 former keepers to the current of two years, an old V5C, three old MOTs, sole invoice detailing a £753 spend in 2004 on a clutch kit and head gasket set at 95,497 miles and the current MOT valid until February 2024 recording no advisories.

Ready to use and improve these 944s represent affordable entry to Porsche ownership and boasted enviable dynamics when in their prime and look good value in today’s overheated 911 market.
