This Porsche 968 is a handsome example of the stylish modern classic transaxle sports coupe, offered for sale by its first and only owner from new. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.0-litre 16-valve inline-four, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. This original Australian-market example is understood to have been manufactured in November 1991, though it was first registered in May 1993, and is now offered for sale by its first and only owner from new. The odometer shows 187,959 Kms from new. This 968 is finished in the timeless hue of Grand Prix White with a satin-black rear spoiler, over a Classic Grey partial leather-trimmed interior. It rides on a set of 16-inch ‘Cup 1’ alloy wheels shod in Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres. The factory specification includes pop-up headlights, a rear screen wiper, a heated rear screen, air conditioning, electrically adjustable front seats, an electric sunroof, and an analogue clock. This example now features a Blaupunkt Atlanta cassette stereo with a CD multichanger. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, a tyre compressor, two keys, the owner’s manuals with a black vinyl wallet, the stamped service booklet, tools, the original sales invoice, and a large collection of maintenance invoices. The seller notes previous minor dents on the right-hand front corner and on the rear wings, which required repairs and respraying. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a scuff on the right-hand rear bumper, stone chips on the front bumper, a scratch on the left-hand door mirror cap, the left-hand front wing and rear wings have been resprayed, and the carpet in the boot area is stained. The restraining link on the glove box is not restraining. The seller also states that: ‘the car’s VIN number has been restamped on the firewall and the incorrect number applied at manufacture been crossed out. The last two digits were reversed on the production line. This has been done following VicRoads investigation.’ The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.

The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. This vehicle’s VIN has been checked against the Australian Personal Property Securities Register, and there is no security interest or other registration kind logged against the serial number.
