1989 Baltic Blue Porsche 944 S2

115. 00 miles . full main dealer / porsche specialist service history. Tax to April 14 . MOT to June 2014

This car is in near showroom condition having been subjected to a comprehensive programme of work and upgrades over the past two years. This has included a full re-spray in Porsche LM5P – Taubenblau (Baltic Blue Metallic) photos and full schedule of works available. and a genuine Porsche bridge spoiler fitted. some minor performance upgrades to the engine – uprated engine chip. K&N panel filter. up-rated fuel pressure regulator and alternator. BoschS5 Heavy Duty battery. replacement belts. new rear crank seal. and some light detailing to the engine bay. Underneath the suspension components have all been refurbished and finished in satin black. a full custom stainless steel perfromance exhaust (Longlife) has been fitted – to be honest the straight through rear box and large diameter tailpipe the car came with was a bit too fruity for my tastes. so the car is back with Longlife for a baffled rear box and smaller diameter tailpipe to be fitted at a cost of £300 (w/c 10/3/14) the system comes with a transferrable lifetime guarantee - . the brake calipers have been painted in Porsche Guards Red. and the D90 wheels have been subjected to a full. acid dip / powdercoat/ lacquer refurb and are fitted with coloured Posrche crests. Virtually unworn quality tyres all-round

Inside the cabin is exceptionally clean – quite a feat with white carpets – and features two-way electric seats upholstered in the original white vinyl (very much of the period). a black leather 968 steering wheel. all the electrics work as they should. the sunroof has recently had new gear wheels fitted. and a discrete Blaupunkt head unit has also been added. In the last month I have also fitted new hatch pins. new headlight bulbs. new bonnet struts. front clear indicator lenses which are far more suited to the body colour than the orginal yellow. (which will be supplied along with the car).

The previous owner also fitted a Clifford Concept 650mk 2 alarm / immobiliser. at a cost of £325:00 so security will not be an issue.

The car drives exceptionally well and pulls like an S2 ought to.

So. as I said at the start. the car is ‘near' showroom condition but not perfect – I have been (and will continue) to follow a plan of bringing the car up to concourse condition

·       Replace the gear lever to adress the usual sloppy change (JMG –9XX upgrade)

·       Replace the two rubber bonnet guides (all of £3. 50 from main Porsche Dealer!!!)

·       Near-side wing mirror glass and holder seem to have come a bit adrift from the motorised back plate – they adjust perfectly ‘up and down. but need to be set by hand for the side to side setting.

·       New clock LCD panel (has the usual half-moon. but is working)

·       Jack handle is missing. as is the original compressor and tool kit. the jack is present and the spare wheel is in perfect condition.

·       And the most important issue – there is a 1cm chip in the offside front wing from where a rattle can was dropped (nightmare) (see photo)

As i said. I am a bit of a perfectionist hence the length of the list. the good news is that all of the above is easy and not expensive to address and– I will also be applying a further dose of Dinitrol cavity wax to the sills before she goes.

I have been told S2's as good as this are worth £7k any day of the week and will appreciate strongly  (this one comes with a detailed bill of sale from June 2013 for £7995. the previous owner finding themselves in financial straits and needing a really quick sale) – but given the list of minors that need addressing to make things perfect– I am looking for £5950 as she stands with a little room for negotiation. although this will narrow as the list of minor work outstanding shortens. The car can be viewed in North Bedfordshire.
