EXTERIOR
The Porsche 944 S2 was the last of the front-engine 944 line and this rare RHD Grand Prix White, (Code L90E), Cabriolet is fewer than 100 produced. Exquisite in all respects, the paint boasts a lustrous finish with only a few tiny stone chips to the smoothed-out front end. The fully lined, insulated black top contrasts beautifully against the bright white and along with the plastic rear window, is in excellent condition. The tonneau cover is present and virtually unused. Wheel arch apertures are incredibly clean and trims, rubbers and plastics retain excellent original integrity. This example is truly outstanding.
INTERIOR
Finished in the optional Black Leatherette material, (Code LT), the orthopedically designed sports seats are pristine along with the rest of the gorgeous interior. The sense of occasion is maintained once settled in the commanding cockpit with a wealth of working crystal clear instrumentation of the late-type ‘oval’-shaped dashboard. There are no cracks to the dash and the carpets are spotlessly clean. The gearbox surround is free from any unsightly marks or stains and the original Panasonic head unit functions. There is a repair to the drivers door card hidden below the speaker. The car comes complete with its original space saver wheel, full tool kit (unused), aluminium brace, jack and the often missing, tyre compressor! The self-adhesive paper option sticker inside the rear of the boot compartment is present and matches the service book. The perfect performance interior.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 944 S2 four cylinder 3.0 L inline M44/41 powerplant boasts and impressive set of statistics with 211bhp on tap, enough to propel this Porsche to 62.5mph in 7.1 secs and a top speed of 149 mph. For peace of mind, an oil service was carried out in April 2020 and the cambelt and balance belt was replaced in July 2018 at 9,017 miles. The engine bay presentation is similar to both exterior and interior, extremely clean, tidy and with no signs of abuse. It is suitable for exhibiting due to the perfect factory condition. The gear engagement is positive and smooth and suits this once largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The flat-faced Design 90 rims are a classic style and remain unmarked shod in matching correctly sized Michelin Pilot tyres. Ventilated disc brakes combined with a Bosch ABS braking system provides quick, stable and fade free stops.
