The Appeal
The Porsche 944 with its three-speed automatic transmission represents the more relaxed, grand touring side of the 944 range. While purists may favour the manual, the automatic variant offers effortless cruising and showcases the 944's transaxle layout and near-50/50 weight distribution in a more comfortable package.
This 1986 example comes with particularly strong credentials: just 1 former registered keeper, a full service history maintained by Porsche main dealership Bournemouth/Ferndown, and an impressive collection of MOT certificates spanning over 20 years. The car has been used weekly on long journeys, demonstrating that it's a well-maintained, reliable driver. The vendor has kept it entirely original with no non-factory modifications, and affectionately refers to it as 'Patricia'.
The vendor reports that it remains in very good mechanical condition, starts and runs very well, and is a joy to drive with very direct steering and holds the road particularly well on corners. With a current MOT valid to February 2027 and only two minor faults noted on the recent certificate, this well-documented 944 is a handsome prospect.image.png1.39 MB
