This Porsche 944 is a well-preserved example of the 1980s sports car, now offered from long-term ownership. Power comes from a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated inline-four, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. This three-owner example has now been with the seller for 30 years, who purchased the vehicle in Hong Kong in 1992, before importing it to Australia in 1995. Since being imported, it has been serviced proactively by Scuderia Veloce Motors and Porsche Centre Willoughby. This 944 is finished in black and is adorned with several Porsche Club of New South Wales, Scuderia Veloce, Jebsen Porsche Centre (Hong Kong), HSRCA and Bondurant stickers, over a black leatherette-trimmed interior with Porsche script on the centre panels of the seats. It rides on 16-inch ‘Telefondesign’ wheels, shod in Pirelli P6000 tyres. Factory-fitted equipment includes air conditioning, power steering, electrically adjustable front seats and electric windows and mirrors. An updated Alpine stereo has been installed, along with a Nokia phone holder. Accompanying the vehicle are the original owner’s manuals, along with a service book, and a collection of maintenance invoices from 1995 onwards. There is a small dent in the passenger door and another on the roof, reportedly caused during a typhoon in Hong Kong. Its original paintwork is in good shape, with blemishes on the bonnet, bumper and wing mirrors, as well as light swirl marks under close inspection. Stepping inside, there is minor age-related discolouration to the black leatherette seats. The carpet protection in the driver’s footwell in lifting, and there is wear on the gear knob and its gaiter trim, otherwise the cabin presents very well. The air conditioning compressor currently has a leak, though the seller is not aware of any further mechanical or electrical faults. Its most recent annual service was conducted by Porsche Centre Willoughby in September 2022 and included an eSafety check, which resulted in a pass. Also in September 2022, Porsche Centre Willoughby replaced a fuel pressure regulator and the front engine lid struts, as well as flushing the coolant. The service prior to that was in September 2021 at 72,255 km, also at Porsche Centre Willoughby. The air flow sensor was replaced in July 2021. The previous registration check was undertaken in October 2020 at Hornsby Toyota, as Porsche had minimal availability due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time. For this reason, the related service was undertaken in January 2021 at Porsche Centre Willoughby, where the cambelt, radiator and injectors were replaced. The service prior to this was undertaken in October 2019 by Porsche Centre Willoughby.

Since it was imported to Australia in 1995, it has been very well-maintained by Scuderia Veloce Motors and Porsche Centre Willoughby, and is now offered with modest mileage for its age. It would make an exciting weekend toy, or an entirely usable daily driver. The description of this auction lot is, to the best of the seller's knowledge, accurate and not misleading.
