The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1993 Porsche 968 Cabriolet
***NO RESERVE*** Offered with full service history.
Registration - K884 XRX
Chassis No. - WP0ZZZ96ZNS831051
M.O.T. - May 2025
Odometer - 135,000
Subtle and understated, this rare example of Porsche’s 968 Cabriolet is presented in brown bodywork, and is fitted with a 3.0-litre straight-four engine and four-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Fitted with five-spoke Porsche alloy wheels, ‘K884 XRX’ also features a black canvas roof, and inside is trimmed in complementary fashion. The seats are upholstered in grey leather, edged with red piping, with grey carpet, dashboard, and steering wheel. A Pioneer audio system has been installed, and factory-fitted equipment includes the electric folding roof, electric windows, and selectable automatic gearbox.
Owned by the current keeper for the last two and a half years, ‘K884 XRX’ comes with an extensively documented background, including full service history and MOT certificates. The odometer was replaced in 2007, at the time showing 112,272 miles, with work carried out by Porsche Cambridge and, of course, there is paperwork to support this. It now shows a more 22,200 miles, for an indicated total of 135,000 miles. This example of Porsche’s 968 Cabriolet is considered in very good condition by the vendor, with the bodywork, paint, and interior rated as ‘good’, and the engine, transmission, and electrics regarded as ‘excellent’.
- Rare opportunity to obtain a Porsche 968 Cabriolet
- Offered with large file of paperwork and full service history
- Well specified example
Porsche’s 968 was introduced in 1991 as a replacement for the 944, and was offered in coupe and cabriolet forms from launch. The last model water-cooled, front-engine, rear-wheel drive model until the Cayenne was introduced in 2003, the 968 was the entry-level Porsche during its time on sale. Fitted with a 3.0-litre inline-four - either naturally aspirated or turbo-charged - and either a new 6-speed manual or four-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Production lasted until 1995, when the Boxster was launched; a very different concept as a two-seater mid-engined roadster, but the new entrance point into the Porsche line-up.
