The Appeal
While Porsche had initially intended to launch an ‘S3’ version of the much-loved 944, its engineers changed so much during the development process that management eventually decided to launch the car as a new model - the 968. It would become Porsche’s last front-engined and water-cooled car until the introduction of the Cayenne in 2003 and its last four cylinder car until the Macan in 2014.
Like it’s predecessor, the 968 was priced competitively and developed a loyal following. We’re delighted to offer this highly specced and well cared-for example from 1994. Acquired by the vendor in December 2022 from a Porsche General Manager, this car has been enjoyed sparingly, spending most of its time cossetted inside a dry garage. It’s confirmed matching numbers by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and comes with a wealth of interesting reading material including a copy of Classic Car Weekly’s 968 buyer’s guide in which it featured prominently.
For collectors looking for an original and cherished example, this would be a worthy candidate.
