The 944's time has finally come. Transaxle Porsches have always lived in the shadow of the marque's iconic 911 variants, but seeing as the latter has become unattainable for most enthusiasts, good-condition 928s and 944s are increasingly in demand.

The 944 S2 Cabriolet is particularly appealing. Introduced in 1989 it featured a punchy 155kW, 16-valve 3.0L engine. In terms of appearance, it boasted similar detailing to the flagship Turbo model, and in "real world" driving conditions was not much slower, either, further aided by fitment of the same brakes as its faster sibling. This is a beautifully balanced sports car that also has some genuine daily and grand touring abilities.

This example

The manual 1991 example is in very good all-round condition and is finished in metallic silver on the outside, and a combination of black/red leather in the original interior. This matching-numbers car is fitted with new tyres as well as a new battery, and its timing belt has been replaced. A portfolio on mechanical work done is available with the vehicle.

Featuring such mod-cons as electrically adjustable seats, this drop-top Porsche is ready to provide both driving thrills and relaxed, luxurious open-roof cruising.
