Hi all,
Just purchased a tuerkis blue 944 owned by a lady for the last 20 years , 88500 miles. Is it true there are only 8 RhD cars made in this colour.
Many thanks
Mark

That looks really nice, I like the colour. I,m jealous, enjoy it op. Still miss my 944 which I sold about eight years ago.

See here regarding the colour and numbers

Hi rather not say how much I think it's worth in case I think of buying it off you....hehe

smile It's lovely, with no rust, a sunroof(?) that stays shut, a non-rattly tailgate and good quality central arm-rest hinge, right now...you'd get £12,500 off me....but you're well aware this is only going one way, especially with how clean that linen is, the exterior colour, orginality and mileage. A really great find.

If it were mine I'd struggle not to get a bridge spoiler, teardrop mirrors and aero door handles, 3 spoke steering wheel...and maybe some alternative alloys with subtle spacers...
(I had a '91 MO30 turbo in Titanium with linen, with all those mods back along....misty eye'd now)
