1993 Porsche

I’m putting this car up for sale with a heavy heart. For the last 2 ½ years it’s been my daily driver but a new venture means it’s not practical for me anymore.

I would love to keep it but I know it’s just going to be a distraction. I also know I’m going to regret selling so no silly offers (read insults)……I’m really hoping to sell to someone that will enjoy ownership as much as I have!

The car is manual, metallic black with black leather, sunroof, remote central locking and all the other things you would expect to find on a 968 (not much!). The car currently has a very expensive DAB headunit and an amp although that may or may not go with the car. It’s also running on matched Goodyear Eagle F1’s all with plenty of tread on recently refurbed, fully original 17” Porsche Cup 1’s which are worth quite a bit on their own. The car has done 90K miles which will increase slightly as its still in daily use. It’s in very good condition (not perfect) with plenty of money spent over the past 2 ½ years. A small amount could bring this car up to concourse standard.

The car has never been written off and an inspection will show there’s no sign it’s ever been in a big shunt.

With regards to service history, the first recorded service in it is 1998 @11,700 miles. Since then the service history is pretty much as you would expect for a car like this – serviced nearly every year by specialists with a couple of exceptions where the car has barely been used. The cars mileage ties in with all the paperwork I have. Obviously I’m happy to go through everything with a serious buyer I detail.

Regarding the period prior to 1998, the car was originally ordered by the wife of a famous rock star so I would assume it was serviced then but not recorded. Of course I can give more details of history on request.

Here are the highlights of expenditure during the time I’ve owned the car:

- Steering geometry Feb 2013

- Replaced heater control valve May 13

- Top end rebuild Feb 2014

- New camshafts Feb 2014

- New Belts Feb 2014

- Starter motor reconditioned July 2014

- Alloys refurbed Sep 2014

- New Bosch S5 Battery Nov 14

- Clutch replaced Sep 14

- Alternator reconditioned Nov 14

- Lambda sensor replaced Jan 15

- Injectors ASNU serviced Mar 15

The above comes to well over £6000 plus there lots of smaller jobs that I have receipts for. Of course this doesn’t account for all the hours I've spent myself. Of course all servicing and major mechanical work has been carried out by my local Porsche specialist.

As you can see the car is a real head turner. I’m not in a desperate rush to sell and may actually change my mind entirely so I won't be entertaining silly offers. I will try and post some better photos over the weekend.
