It is thought to be one of only 17 1987 widebody cabriolets sold new in Australia. The odometer shows 154,307 km, though this is not warranted.

It rides on a set of 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, finished in black with silver lips, and Porsche crest centre caps, wrapped in mixed Kumho and Toyo tyres. Equipment includes rear wheel arch guards, the ‘tea tray’ rear spoiler, a Sony stereo and ten-CD changer, central locking, automatic speed control, air conditioning, and sport seats with electrical height adjustment. The car also features a kill switch and a battery isolation switch. The car will be supplied with its owner’s manuals, service book, original stereo, spare tyre, and original Porsche tools.
