This 1994 Porsche 968 Sport is one of only 302 Sport models made for the UK market. This one was originally the Cardiff Porsche demonstrator and was sold by them twice and the second private owner had the car for 27 years before I purchased it in 2024.

In the UK today there are 152 of the 968 Clubsports registered, with over 100 of those on SORN – a clear sign that these cars are being tucked away as their value rises. The 968 Sport is the final example of the marque's 4-cylinder-front-engine-rear-gear-box models before switching to the Boxster design. Third model following on from the success of the 924, 944 the 968 is the ultimate expression of the engineers' drive to make these amazing handling cars. The Sport is based on the highly valued ClubSport models and is basically the exact same car with some additional 'luxury' spec added like a rear-wiper, sunroof, electric windows.. underneath though this is still the same ClubSport model. However the Clubsport proved just too raw and unfiltered for the UK market and UK road surfaces, and the Sport was born. Built alongside the Clubsports, with similar chassis numbers, came the Sport. On the Sport some of the deleted items crept back in – electric windows and boot release, and rear seats, and new cloth front bucket seats that were a lot easier to live with than the punishing Recaros. So here was a track-derived Porsche that could actually be used on UK roads, but limited to just over 300 units. Today these largely forgotten unicorns are beginning to attract well deserved interest from a wider audience. With the drift of 90's motors into the world of the more established classic cars, rare cars from the aspirational manufacturers are climbing fast in value – the Porsche 964s have seen big increases, as have the rarer 993 cars sold alongside the 968s. For today's buyer, looking for a Porsche 968 Sport for sale, there are only ever a limited number of cars for sale – and one has to take care. Around the mid-2000s, when the cars were a decade old and getting affordable, many actually got the chance to do what they were meant to and ended up as track day cars
