About this car

This is an early Porsche 944 from 1983, the first year of the transaxle four-cylinder coupe, in the well-equipped Lux specification. It is finished in Guards Red with a black interior trimmed with grey pinstripe cloth and leather bolsters, which the dealer describes as original. The gearbox is a five-speed manual.

The car shows about 70,000 miles and comes with a large history folder of service invoices. A major 24k service was carried out by Zuffenhaus Porsche Specialists in May 2026. Adjustable dampers have been fitted front and rear.

It was part-exchanged by a previous owner who kept it carefully maintained. It is sold with a full MOT.
