Description
Overview
The Porsche 968 represented the final and most developed evolution of Porsche’s front-engined, four-cylinder transaxle sports cars. Introduced as the successor to the 944, it combined a naturally aspirated 3. 0-litre engine with excellent chassis balance, distinctive styling and, in this example, the sought-after six-speed manual gearbox.
Presented in white with a contrasting blue hood and matching blue leather interior, this Cabriolet is a particularly elegant 1 owner from new cherished example of the model. Showing just 46, 322 miles, it retains a wonderfully original and distinctly period specification.
With its naturally aspirated engine, manual gearbox and open-top configuration, the 968 Cabriolet offers a character quite unlike Porsche’s contemporary 911, combining genuine long-distance usability with the balanced handling for which Porsche’s transaxle cars have become increasingly appreciated.
Exterior
Finished in white, the 968’s clean and understated shape presents particularly well in Cabriolet form, with the contrasting blue fabric hood complementing the bodywork beautifully.
Distinctive pop-up headlights, integrated bumpers and characteristic rear arches give the 968 a design that remains unmistakably Porsche, while its original Porsche alloy wheels preserve the car’s period appearance.
The wheels are fitted with Michelin tyres, while the electrically operated blue hood provides a particularly attractive contrast against the white bodywork when raised and folds neatly away to create the classic open-top profile.
Overall, it remains an honest and attractive example, retaining the simple factory detailing that makes these cars increasingly appealing today.
Interior
The cabin is one of the standout features of this particular example.
Finished extensively in blue, the interior features matching leather sports seats, dashboard, door cards, centre console, carpets and gear lever, creating a beautifully cohesive specification that could only really have come from Porsche in the 1990s.
The original three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Porsche’s clear analogue VDO instrumentation, while the centre console retains its wonderfully simple period layout and original-style audio equipment.
Electric windows and mirrors are fitted alongside the electrically operated hood, while the leather, carpets and switchgear retain plenty of their original character.
Most importantly, the cabin is centred around the six-speed manual gearbox, making this a particularly engaging specification of the 968 Cabriolet.
Maintenance & History
Showing just 46, 322 miles, this 968 has recently benefited from specialist attention with Bahnsport Porsche Specialists.
In July 2026, at 46, 214 miles, the car was taken to Bahnsport for an MOT and comprehensive vehicle inspection, followed by servicing and remedial maintenance.
Recent works include:
12, 000-mile service
Brake fluid change
Full vehicle inspection
MOT
All four wheels balanced
Lower steering column universal joint replaced
Rear-view mirror reattached
Engine undertray fixings repaired
New engine undertray hardware installed
The July 2026 visit totalled £1, 808. 28, providing useful evidence of recent specialist maintenance immediately prior to sale.
The accompanying paperwork documents this recent specialist attention, while the car’s current mileage of 46, 322 means it has covered little more than 100 miles since the work was completed.
Summary
The Porsche 968 has become increasingly recognised as one of the most accomplished and underrated Porsche models of its generation.
As the culmination of Porsche’s front-engined transaxle platform, it combines excellent weight distribution, naturally aspirated performance and genuine everyday usability with a driving experience that remains distinctly analogue.
Presented in white with a blue hood and matching blue leather interior, paired with the desirable six-speed manual gearbox and showing just 46, 322 miles, this Cabriolet offers an especially attractive and wonderfully period specification.
Importantly, it comes to market having recently undergone an MOT, full inspection, 12, 000-mile service and further remedial maintenance with Porsche specialist Bahnsport at 46, 214 miles, with an invoice totalling over £1, 800.
Equally suited to summer weekends, European touring or simply enjoying as an increasingly distinctive modern classic, this is a wonderfully usable example of the final evolution of Porsche’s front-engined, four-cylinder sports car.
