Porsche 944 Lux 1988

Allmän beskrivning : An original 944 Lux, with recent cambelt change, service, and impeccable history.

MODEL HISTORY

The 944 was introduced for sale in 1982 and ran on for 10 years. It came in either a coupe 2+2 body or a very attractive Cabriolet. It was Porsche's mid range sports car positioned between the 924 and 911. It used a rear-wheel drive water-cooled 4-cylinder engine mounted at the front of the car. The gearbox was mounted at the rear providing better weight distribute, which in turn resulted in one of the best handling cars to come out of the 80's.

The aim of the car was to provide a luxurious long distance cruiser as well as an exciting powerful road car. Its body was based upon the 924 Carrera GT; like the 924 it had a sloping glass hatchback that provided a practical luggage storage area. The sunroof was a popular option as it was a removable metal panel that provided a near Targa-like open road experience.

Equipment

Electric tilt/removable sunroof, Electric windows, Central locking, Headlamp washers, Front fog lamps, Sony CD player.

EXTERIOR

This lovely 944 remains in fantastic original condition. Other than a few stone chips to the front spoiler and door mirrors it is virtually unmarked. All the black trim around the windows and mirrors is also in excellent condition and has not been faded by the sun. The car was sold by 4 Star four years ago and has covered just 8,600 miles since, remaining garaged when not in use.

INTERIOR

This 944 has the very desirable black cloth Porsche logo seats that are in great condition showing no signs of wear to the bolsters. The cream carpet throughout is in excellent condition and is well protected by black over-mats. The door cards and dash are also in very good condition with no cracking or damage. The boot area is clean too, and still fitted with its privacy blind. The roof lining is as new and all the electrics work just as they should.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

Mechanically excellent, this 944 comes with one of the best service histories we have seen so it is clearly evident that it has been very well looked after. Within the last 8k miles recent works include but are not limited to: clutch replacement, cambelt replacement, cambelt retension, and four annual services. The engine pulls well through the gears and the gearbox feels tight and precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The 944 sits on its original set of Teledial alloys. They are all completely unmarked and shod in a matching set of Dunlop tyres. Wheel geometry was carried out in March of this year ensuring the car drives in a perfectly straight line.

HISTORY FILE

This 944 Lux was first registered in April 1988 and comes with its original Porsche service book with 30 stamps all from Porsche centres or specialists. Invoices for the most recent services are also present, with the last having been done in February this year. It also comes with the original Porsche owner's guides and manuals, invoices detailing work that has been done, and some of the old MOT certificates. The service history is as follows:

Varianter och evolution: Från de tidiga luftkylda modellerna till de mer moderna vattenkylda versionerna har 911 genomgått betydande tekniska framsteg och modellvariationer.
Porsche 914 (1969-1976):
Samarbete med Volkswagen: Gemensamt utvecklat med Volkswagen, Mid Engine 914, erbjöd ett mer prisvärt inträde i Porsche-ägandet.
Porsche 924/944/968 Series (1976-1995):
Frontmotormodeller: Dessa frontmotormodeller syftade till att locka en bredare publik och erbjuder en annan körupplevelse jämfört med bakmotorn 911.
