1982 – Porsche 944 2.5 Coupe 2dr Petrol Manual (163 bhp) – £2950

Discover a piece of automotive history with this rare 1982 Porsche 944, one of the earliest examples to grace UK roads. Registered on 1st May 1982, this classic sports car is now MOT and tax exempt, featuring a unique non-PAS square dash and sought-after Porsche script door panels that set it apart from later models. Originally restored on the Isle of Wight, this rolling project has seen significant recent improvements, including fully functional locks, electric windows, and a new water pump and timing belt. As a ULEZ-compliant classic, this 944 offers an exciting opportunity for mechanical enthusiasts or collectors looking to preserve a significant piece of Porsche heritage.

While the car requires some finishing touches – including seat reupholstering and a potential bonnet repaint – it represents a promising restoration project with its running engine and distinctive character. Minor mechanical issues persist, such as an alternator light that remains on and a temperamental tachometer, along with a typical lower balance shaft oil leak. The seller is motivated to find a new home for this classic Porsche due to imminent storage constraints, pricing the vehicle to reflect its current condition. Prospective buyers are advised to arrange transportation, preferably by trailer, to ensure the car’s continued preservation and enjoyment.
