The Appeal
Introduced in 1982, and kept in production for nearly a decade, the Porsche 944 was a smash hit for the company - and for good reason. With its impressive 3.0L powerplant, sharp handling, and those all-important pop-up headlights, it quickly gained a reputation as a very capable sports car.
This example has been kept in dry storage and is mechanically solid, with a clean MOT and a ton of invoices. It is a solid contender for any collection.
