The Bolesworth Castle September 2024 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction
1992 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet
***NO RESERVE*** Low-owner example with full service history
Registration - J934 KRH
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ94ZMN430305
M.O.T. - June 2025
Odometer - 96,000
This elegant Porsche 944 Cabriolet is described by the vendor as having just one former keeper; although it says two on the logbook, the previous keeper got married, so changed the name on the logbook. This is one of many such details that show what a well cared-for example this is – with the vendor describing it as being in ‘excellent’ condition throughout. Naturally, it comes with a full service history, and the vendor says it has been well looked after and serviced every 12,000 miles. The history shows it was parked up between 2004 and 2011, when it was given a fresh MOT, then again until 2018, when it had another MOT – and then parked up once again until 2024. The vendor subsequently took it for a major service and recommissioning, where the technicians “went through everything, stripped the brakes – and had nothing to report”.
A 3.0-litre ‘S2’ 944 Cabriolet, ‘J934KRH’ has a fully stamped service history that confirms the odometer reading of 96,000 miles, and includes the original books and owner’s manual – featuring a sticker from supplying dealer JCT600 of Yorkshire, with the car also coming with unique JCT600 branded door sill plates! There is also a large collection of receipts and invoices. Inside, the immaculate interior has a modern JVC stereo combined with a rare period Blaupunkt graphic equaliser, while the Porsche overmats and tonneau cover are also nice features. This 944 Cabriolet has two keys and two Porsche-supplied immobiliser controllers, along with the original spare wheel, jack and tool kit (premium Bridgestone tyres are fitted to the well-presented alloy wheels as well). The vendor adds the blue leather interior has been treated, while the sparking metallic paintwork has been polished and ceramic coated to give it a gleaming appearance.
The Porsche 944 S2 was introduced in 1989 as a development of the original 1982 model – itself a wide-body evolution of the 1970s Porsche 924. The first 944 Cabriolet was originally shown in 1985, but didn’t go into production until 1989, launched as an S2 model with the revised Turbo-look front end. Production uniquely saw cars taken off the line from Porsche’s Neckarsulm factory, sent to specialist ASC in Germany for strengthening, then sent back to Neckarsulm for further production – before being sent back to ASC again for the convertible roof to be installed.

· Elegant Porsche 944 Cabriolet in ‘excellent’ condition throughout
