The fastidious nature of this car’s care is on display throughout its interior.

All the electrical items are said to function without issue and a Blaupunkt Bluetooth sound system has been fitted, which looks entirely at home in the centre console.
The boot is just as clean as the rest and, alongside the spare wheel, is a plug-in Porsche tyre inflator, toolkit and protective gloves.
The Exterior
- Almost entirely original paint
- Dry stored, said to be rust free
- Very clean clean convertible roof
The owner’s other cars have reportedly won prizes in concours events, and you can clearly see that this level of care has also been lavished upon this Porsche.
The paintwork is in superb condition, with the owner reporting that the single stage paint is free from swirl marks and hazing. It certainly is in strikingly good condition. Only the front bumper has been resprayed in 2000, at a cost of £250.
