The Appeal

The Porsche 968 was the final and most refined chapter of Porsche's front-engined transaxle family. Its 3.0-litre four-cylinder engine, featuring VarioCam variable valve timing, married perfectly with the car's near-perfect weight distribution. It was a truly charismatic machine from bumper to bumper, with Stuttgart's now-customary build quality at its core.

This 1994 example has benefited from an extensive restoration carried out between 2015 and 2022 by a German car specialist garage. The scope of work encompassed new paint, a new roof, a full interior retrim, and a thorough mechanical overhaul. Since purchasing the car in late 2023, the current owner has invested over £2,000 in further improvements.
Accompanied by an advisory-free MOT until August 2027, this handsome car is now eagerly awaiting its new owner.
