The Appeal

The Porsche 968 was the product of the final and most refined chapter of the transaxle four-cylinder lineage that began with the 924. Its 3.0-litre 16-valve engine, at the time the world's largest production four-cylinder, offered performance that allowed the 968 to punch well above its weight. The Targa variant adds open-air versatility without sacrificing the coupé's structural integrity, and paired here with the Tiptronic transmission, it makes for an uncommon and usable combination.

This example was delivered new in the United States in 1992 and spent the bulk of its life in Arizona, which has reportedly left its bodywork in exceedingly good order, a considerable advantage for any classic. It was imported to the Netherlands in 2025 with duties and taxes settled, and it arrived with a substantial folder of history, including invoices, maintenance receipts, and a comprehensive CARFAX report.
