The Appeal
Introduced in 1982, the Porsche 944 was, for quite some time, amongst the best selling cars that Stuttgart had ever built. A front-mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, pop-up headlights - it all, to the layman, seems very distinctly untraditional for the company that built the 911; but this was a different time; the 944 was built from just as proud a lineage, and just as capable a car.
This particularly sound car boasts the largest displacement 3.0-litre 16-valve engine producing 211 bhp, which note doubt makes open-top driving a thrilling experience. As one of the later examples from 1991, it further benefits from the refinements Porsche made throughout the production run.

This particular example stands out for its comprehensive service history, with documentation spanning from 1991 to the present day, demonstrating meticulous maintenance throughout its life. Having been in the hands of an enthusiast owner for the past decade with minimal use (covering only around 4,000 miles during that period), this 944 Cabriolet is a seriously compelling car.
