Simply lovely example of one of the rarest (1 of 100 worldwide in RHD) and most sought-after Porsches from the 1990s.The 944 Turbo Cabriolet combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by ASC at WeinsbergOnly 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African marketsFinished in striking Cobalt Blue Metallic with matching interior and hoodExcellent maintenance history, recent £4,000-plus worth of work done at Porsche specialists ‘Autofarm’Letter from the original owner stating that they used AFN Reading for servicing and passed the car on to their sonFollowing the international success of their nimble 924, Porsche designed an all-alloy, 2.5-litre, inline-four for their new 944 which they planned to introduce in 1982. Their talented engineers were able to produce a very smooth running four-cylinder engine by utilising two counter-rotating balance shafts running at twice engine speed. These carry eccentric weights which produce inertial forces that balance out the unbalanced secondary forces, all a bit technical but the result is a large four-cylinder engine that feels as turbine-smooth as a six. Cosmetically, the 944's bodywork was revised with wider wheel arches (similar to that of the 924 Carrera GT), a fresh interior and upgrades to the brakes and suspension. With greater visual presence and the performance to match, better handling, stopping power and more creature comforts, the 944 was a natural step forward. A 'turbo' version of the 944 was always on the cards, and the forced-induction boosted the 2.5-litre engine by a healthy 60bhp, necessitating an upgraded clutch and gearbox. The chassis was further developed and thicker anti-roll bars and four-pot brake calipers were fitted to deal with the significantly increased performance. Externally, a smoother nose panel and a larger rear spoiler distinguished it from its lesser siblings. In February 1991, the final year of 944 production, Porsche released the 944 Turbo Cabriolet which combined the Turbo S' 250bhp engine with the strengthened cabriolet body built by the ASC-American Sunroof Company at Weinsberg. Compared to the Coupe, the Cabriolet's windscreen is lowered about 6cm and raked back to reduce the wind noise when the top is down. Porsche initially announced that 600 would be made, but ultimately 625 were built, with just 100 examples produced in right-hand drive for the UK, Japanese, Australian and South African markets. These are rare cars, produced for just one year, with only 32 examples believed to still reside in the UK.The car presented here is a UK-supplied, right-hand drive, 1991 Porsche 944 Turbo Cabriolet finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic with matching interior, a combination a 944 from the nineties pulls off with aplomb!It has covered just 78,000 miles (approx.) and remains in very good condition. In the early days it was regularly maintained at, amongst others, Porsche AFN of Reading, Porsche specialists ‘RSR Engineering’ of Hampshire and later ‘Northway Porsche Ltd.’ of Berkshire. In August 2020, our vendor entrusted it to renowned Porsche specialists ‘Autofarm’ of Oxfordshire, where a full inspection and follow-up work was carried out.The car is supplied with an original driver’s manual, numerous invoices for regular maintenance (including cam-belt replacements), and older MOT Certificates, which help corroborate the indicated mileage.Now being sold from part of an enthusiast's collection, we are informed the car has recently benefited from a full service (including cam-belt) in 2020. Bought by our vendor from a Porsche specialist, unfortunately, a change in circumstances now means he must sell the car. This fabulous, open-top, Porsche has obviously been well-maintained and presents, both mechanically and cosmetically, really well. This is a simply lovely example of one of the rarest and most sought-after Porsches from the 1990s. The 944, the 968 and even the 928 are seeing their values rise in the wake of the '911 explosion' and front-engined Porsches are having the Renaissance they richly deserve. This great example, whilst being competitively guided, opens the door into a very exclusive club.(N.B. the registration number of E8 RPR will not come with the car, it will revert to J45 MJR ) SpecificationMake: PORSCHEModel: 944 TURBO CABRIOLETYear: 1991Chassis Number: WP0ZZZ95ZMN130376Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 47M01059 Drive Side: Right-hand DriveOdometer Reading: 78757 MilesMake: RHDInterior Colour: BlueClick here for more details and images
A well-engineered homage to BMW’s wild-child E21 Group 5 racers from the mid-seventies.On offer from Laranca, this remarkable BMW was built in Norway in 2015Total bare-shell rebuild using an 1981 E21 318. Acid-dipped, primed and paintedBody styling is copied from an original 1978 Group 5 car. Adjustable spoiler, low-drag rear window spoiler, front spoiler, and sills2.0-litre M10 unit (circa 180bhp). 265-dogleg gearbox from a 635Hemispheric combustion chambers, special distributor, oil cooler special high-pressure oil filters, wide baffled oil pan in alloyOriginal Weber 48 Bologna with 42mm chokes, and cold-air ram boxMassive spec (see main description)In 1976, the Manufacturers’ World Championship was the second most important motor sport championship next to Formula 1. Formally titled ‘Group 5’, these cars became known as ‘Silhouette Cars’ and shared the same outline as current saloon models or GTs but the engineering was pure racing car technology. For 1976, the regulations changed offering just two classes with engine capacities above and below 2-litres.For the 2-Litre class, BMW developed a racing car based on their E21 320 (3-Series). These cars, with drivers including Surer, Cheever and Winkelhock (and later with Stuck, Peterson and Grohs) appeared in the German DRM series and in the Manufacturers’ World Championship from 1977 onwards. In 1978, BMW supplied components (and complete kits) for more than 30 cars and altogether it is thought that 36 factory-based Group 5 320s were constructed. They shared their 330bhp, 2-litre, 4-valve, M12/7 engine with Formula 2 and weighed about 730kg.This very special ‘Group 5’ Homage comes from the garage of the renowned marque experts, Laranca Engineering. This car was bought from a Norwegian enthusiast who built it in 2015 and there is an email from him to Laranca explaining the specification of the car, which we thought was easiest to simply list below:Shell:Total bare-shell rebuild using an ‘81 E21 318.Acid-dipped, primed and painted once metal work doneFIA-spec 6-point roll cage, modified rear 323 rear frame railBelieved to be circa 850 kg.Suspension:Special gas fully adjustable front and rear coil-oversWith matching springs front struts are made on original 323 lower struts, front has fully adjustable top mounting in alloy and strut-brace bar in alloyWith camber and toe adjustment eccentric bolts.Side loader differential from BMW 635 in alloy with 4.78:1 ratioGKN motorsport drive shaftsExterior:Body styling is copied from an original styling 1978 Group 5 from a German fabricator.Fibreglass bonnet, doors, front and rear wings, rear boot lidAdjustable spoiler, low-drag rear window spoiler, front spoiler, and sills.Split-rim 15” BBS alloys, 10.5” rear and 9.5” fronts.Brakes:Original 323 brake discs for front and rear.
