Description
Tipped by both Haggerty International and Rob Sass of the New York Times as an appreciating modern classic, this was the first "other" Porsche to beat a 911 on the racetrack. In very good condition, with refurbished bodywork and wheels, I have owned this car for 17 years without a hint of trouble. Full Porsche specialist service history, and only 104, 000 miles on the clock, this car handles superbly.
Black upholstery, classic Porsche Guards Red in colour, with a six-speed manual gearbox - it has to be - and a 3. 0L engine producing 240BHP, it returns easily over 30mpg out of town, and is still a head-turner. Bullet-like acceleration and excellent handling on country roads, this is a responsive machine.
Electric sunroof (removable) and electric windows. I put my mountain bike in the boot with the rear seats folded down and the front wheel quick-locked off. Took four of us camping with tents and sleeping bags to Normandy a long time ago, too.
Bitter regret at having to sell, and am still in two minds, but emigration to South-East Asia for a new posting probably means it makes sense to do so.
There are very few of these left - not many were built - and a survey of the ones on the market shows models from high mileage LHD to stripped out Club Sports and Cabriolets, with prices from £5995 to £36900 - this one priced accordingly.
