The Appeal
With summer around the corner, many of us are now looking to purchase a cabriolet for some drop-top fun, and with room for all the family, a 944 S2 is certainly a strong contender for this role.
Built during the final year of 944 S2 production, this white-over-blue example boasts a strong specification, period upgrades and would make an excellent light mechanical project, ready to enjoy throughout the summer months.
History/Paperwork
• Partial service history - 13 stamps in all
• Latest service in May 2019 at 71,268 miles
• Uk V5 registered keeper document
• No current MoT, will require a new certificate
• Please note: The vehicle was subject to a registered insurance claim around 24 years ago.
In the care of the current registered keeper since 2010, this 944 S2 has evidently been cherished throughout its lifetime, benefitting from long-term ownership and mileage-based servicing whilst in the care of the current owner.
First registered in March 1992, this last-of-the-line S2 Cabriolet boasts a delightful specification of white bodywork over a blue leather interior, and has covered limited mileage in the last ten years, amassing less than 10,000 miles since 2011.
The Interior
• Presents very well
• Period Blaupunkt radio
• Evidently cherished
On the inside, the blue leather interior has remained in excellent condition throughout the years, having evidently been cherished and cosseted throughout its lifetime, along with being testament to Porsche’s excellent build quality of the period.
Naturally, there are some signs of use - light patina, if you will - visible on the high-traffic areas such as the shifter, steering wheel, carpets and touch-points such as switches, but nothing that would not be considered commensurate for a vehicle such as this.
Similarly, in the rear the luggage compartment appears to be free of any major wear, whilst the vendor reports no faults with any switchgear, electrical systems or with the roof operation, however there may be faults not noted.
The Exterior
• Pop-up headlights in full working order
• Roof in good shape, but requires some attention to the rear screen
• Classic 80’s styling!
As with the interior, the bodywork and paint on this particular 944 S2 has seemingly stood the test of time well on the whole, with its wedge-shaped profile and pop-up headlights making it a true icon of 80’s design language.
It should be noted, as we’ve already stated, that the car was subject to a registered insurance claim around 24 years ago, but the exact details of this are unknown.
The bodywork appears overall generally very presentable however on closer inspection you are able to notice a couple of misaligned panels which may or may not be a result of the insurance claim.
In terms of the paintwork, there is the usual smattering of stone chips and light wear that would be commensurate for a vehicle of this age and mileage, examples of these imperfections have been documented in the photographs.
All four wheels remain in useable, presentable condition, though the tyres are now starting to perish and a new set would be advised.
The Mechanicals
• Running and driving
• Serviced less than 2,000 miles ago
• Some light TLC and fettling required
Under the bonnet, the 3.0-litre M44/41 inline-four engine is good order, with no signs of any major oil leaks, damage or obvious issues that we can see.
Out on the road, the vendor reports that the car starts, drives, stops and turns, but exhibits signs of what they believe may be an air/fuel mixture issue, though the exact cause of this has not been investigated.
Similarly, the manual transmission is in working order, though the vendor states it is somewhat ‘notchy’ when going through the gears, and some investigation is required.
On the whole, whilst the car starts, drives and stops, it is advised by the vendor that she will require the aforementioned niggles attending to and a full "going over" before she sees any use.
Currently, the car has no valid MoT certificate, and a new examination will need to be undertaken before it sees the road again.
Summary
Requiring some light mechanical fettling and TLC but presenting in good visual order, this 944 S2 makes a strong case for itself as a light springtime project, with the end goal being a fabulous, 80s-styled drop-top cabriolet the whole family can enjoy.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
