1987 Porsche 944 Turbo – Was $37,500 – now $29,500

Porsche did a lot of development in the 944 series and the Turbo is deservedly recognized today as a desirable version.

Australian delivered examples were well-equipped, with standard features such as power steering, power windows, air conditioning, central locking, power seats, etc.

This car was delivered new in Melbourne by the Porsche importer, Hamiltons of South Yarra. The car’s history file includes a large quantity of invoices dating back to the 1990s, confirming that the car has always been maintained by Porsche specialist workshops.

Two years ago the present owner bought the car. He had plans to adapt the car for use in club level motorsport, but the idea never progressed – the car remaining unmodified and little used.

The owner had a service completed in September this year. He notes the report of several minor items would benefit from attention: predominantly cosmetic and wear and tear items. Given it’s an almost 40 year old car, none of this is out of the ordinary or requires major work. The car is very realistically priced taking into account that these items require attention.

The car is a straight, sound rust-free Australian-delivered car with comprehensive service history. It has the original books, documents and jack. The tyres are good Yokohama Advans. The odometer shows the car has covered 228,000km – an average of 6000km per year.

The engine bay presents very well – which is a testament to the excellent maintenance record the car possesses.

If sold to a Western Australian buyer a new set of numberplates will be fitted as the owner intends to retain those on the car.

The car presents well, in an attractive colour scheme and is well-equipped. Features include power steering, leather trim, “Teledial” alloy wheels and a big removable sunroof. The car will be supplied with a different – functional – sound system.

The 944 Turbo is a model with an excellent reputation, whether for road use or adapting to motorsport as the owner had planned.

The late owner’s son says “My mother really did love the car and took immense care of it; it was her pride and joy.” While she could have bought any new car, she held on to he beloved 911.

The 911 presents as a very original example, with just a few stone chips to the front. The family advises that the car has never been in an accident.

2002 Porsche Boxster – SOLD

The Boxster brought a freshness to the Porsche range with its 6-cylinder mid-engine layout, effectively replacing the front engine 4-cylinder model range at the easier entry point to Porsche ownership than the 911. The Boxster was a tremendous success from the start.

This car was a prize in a raffle, and the winner decided to sell the car immediately, through the dealer which had pre-delivered it. A Perth buyer had it shipped and registered here and when he collected the car it had covered just 31 kilometres.

Finished smartly in Guards Red with black trim and soft-top, with optional wheels it makes as striking a car as it would have 23 years ago. The same owner has kept the car all this time, covering 121,000km in it.

The car has been serviced and maintained all along by Porsche specialists, mainly the same well-regarded expert for many years. The service booklet is stamped, showing the mileage to be correct.

There are just a couple of minor cosmetic items one could attend to – some slightly discoloured paint, the front grilles have some paint peeling and inside some of the plastic has got sticky surfaces. The soft top was replaced a decade ago. There is very little to criticize with this car.

Least of all, the driving experience it offers – this Boxster drives beautifully, with peppy performance and a tight feel. This is a particularly nice example, with single ownership and full service history – and is realistically priced.
