Rare and desirable British-supplied S2 model (the majority of the 5, 656 944 S2 Cabriolets made were LHD)
Introduced in 1989, the Porsche 944 S2 was powered by a three-litre DOHC four-cylinder engine allied with a five-speed manual transmission. With a quoted 208bhp and 207lb ft of torque on tap, the model was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in six 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 Coupé sibling. Just 5, 656 944 S2 Cabriolets were made before the model was superseded by the 968 in 1991.
Very few S2 Cabriolets were built to RHD specification, but this wonderful machine is one. It was supplied new in Northern Ireland through Porsche and Volkswagen dealer Isaac Agnew of Newtownabbey on 20th March, 1992, and specified with options including headlamp washers, headlamp adjustment and leather seats. After two Irish owners, it came to England in 2000 and has had only three owners since, including long-term previous ownership of fifteen years. The service book reveals regular maintenance, showing 16 service stamps of which 14 were issued by a main dealer.
After 34 years, the Porsche has covered just 69, 000 miles and owes its present condition to a cosmetic renovation in 2019, which saw it repainted in its original Black, and thereafter the 944 was placed into storage, so it has covered only a few dozen miles since 2019. However, it has been freshly recommissioned, with a full service and cambelt change completed, it also received a new mohair hood in 2025 by AutoTrim Ltd. The battery and brake pads have just been renewed, it has an MOT until September this year. It is offered with much literature, including the V5C, assorted invoices, past sales invoice and ownership records, MOTs dating back to 1997, plus the original book wallet containing the driver’s manual and service book, plus the original spare wheel, steering wheel, air pump, toolkit, and orange indicator lens covers.
