1994 Porsche

I am reluctantly selling my 1994 (L-reg) Porsche 968 Sport 3.0 manual race/track-only car. Requires welding so would suit someone looking for a project.

***Car & Trailer package available at negotiable price***

I have owned the car since August 2011, and I knew the previous owner. I purchased as a road going car with the plan to turn into a race/track car. The conversion was fully documented and photographed, much of it carried out by RPM Technik Porsche Specialists, completed by 2013 at a cost of over £7,000. I have since used the car on 6 track days but never raced. I am selling due to lack of use.

The handling of the car is superb, perfectly weighted and balanced, it is very predictable and easy to drive. Testing and setup completed a Bedford Autodrome. My most memorable drive was round the SPA in Belgium where I could take the back bends flat out.

The car is not road legal, it is SORN and does not have an MOT, I take on a trailer to track days. The car has been fully inspected by RPM and had an oil change before every track day so mechanically is in good order.

The car was built to meet basic FIA regulation circuit racing regulation, so work to date has focused on safety and compliance rather than performance tuning. Engine and gearbox are standard. The car would be eligible to enter a number of series, including Porsche Club championship, 750 motor club, future classics, MSVR trackday trophy, MSVR allcomers, etc.

**Work required**

I recently discovered that the sills and rear suspension mounts have significant rust and require welding to make safe. The car cannot be used until welding complete.

To give you an honest independent assessment of the work required I had an MOT inspection completed in Jan 2016. Clearly it failed as it is not road legal, but here is the failure notes on the MOT certificate:

1) suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded Nearside front.

2) suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded nearside rear (floor) and offside rear (floor).

3) headlamps not working [they have been removed].

4) registration plate lamp not fitted [they have been removed].

5) horn not working [has been removed].

Advisory information:

6) brake pipe slightly corroded nearside front.

7) all 4x brake discs worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened.

Aside from the welding of the sills and suspension mounting , this car is ready to take on track and would make a great weekend track day toy or entered into a race series. It would also be very easy to get a daytime only MOT certificate so it could be driven to circuit.

Serious enquirers only please, and no silly offers. I am in no hurry to sell. Viewing available at evenings or weekends. For serious buyers it is possible to inspect the car on a ramp, with prior arrangement. Car will need to be collected on a trailer.

Private sale.
