This Porsche 944 Turbo is a compelling modern-classic performance coupe, presented in the rare Pastel Beige hue, and reportedly benefiting from an extensive mechanical, interior, and exterior refurbishment. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-litre inline-four, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. A ‘C26-code’ South Africa-delivered example, this 944 Turbo was imported and passed compliance in Australia on 25 February 1998. The seller reports that the car underwent an extensive refurbishment around three years ago, with work including a bare-metal respray, an engine rebuild, a refurbished turbocharger and cylinder head, and renewal of various drivetrain and ancillary components. The seller states that the car won a Porsche concours event in Sydney around two years ago. The odometer indicates 175,782 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1986 This 944 Turbo is finished in the understated shade of Pastel Beige, over a tan leather and beige pinstripe velour cloth-trimmed interior, featuring a contrasting black upper dashboard, headliner, and door cappings. It rides on a set of 18-inch five-spoke split-rim alloy wheels finished in gloss-black with polished barrels, fitted with Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a top-tinted windscreen, electrically adjustable front seats, air conditioning, a Wevo shifter, a rear spoiler, headlamp washers, a digital clock, and electric windows. The seller notes the car is fitted with a new Blaupunkt stereo with Bluetooth.
