Ossie Posted 6February, 2020 Report Share Posted 6February, 2020 Anyone know if any 944 Turbo Cabriolets were originally sold into Australia back in 1991/1992? I recently aquired this one which is a UK import, never seen any others here. I understand they only made around 100 in RHD. It's basically a 944 Turbo S without a roof plus extra weight! micknine01, craiggt3rs, Stepo and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchanan Automotive Posted 6February, 2020 Report Share Posted 6February, 2020 For the 1991 year model , there were no ( 0 ) 944Turbo cabriolets imported officially by Porsche Cars Australia For 1991 ( M ) the imports into Australia for the entire 944 series is as follows } 944S2 3.0L 16v coupe = 6 944S2 3.0L 16v Cabs = 2 Total number for the 1991 year model officially imported in Australia ( new ) = 8 From 1991 ( late 1990 ) to 1994 Australia was in the grip of a VERY HIGH interest rate recession & the sales of expensive cars sold new in Australia basically dried up & companies ( all different types ) and individuals were going broke , if you had a job in the private sector in those years and kept you're job , you were the lucky ones Regards Bruce Buchanan Buchanan Automotive Stepo and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the numbers might be low around that time for all the reasons you mentioned, but not quite that low! I assume there's probably been one or two others imported here in the past. If anyone knows of any let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzJustin Posted 8February, 2020 Report Share Posted 8February, 2020 Looks like a nice example Ossie. The sports seats look to be in superb condition! How many miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks yes it's been well looked after. The seats have been restored, but done very well. It's travelled just over 60000 in total and came with all the service books to confirm this.

HH1 Posted 21February, 2020 Report Share Posted 21February, 2020 I've got a 1991 S2 Cab, non turbo in cobalt blue just like yours. Also a UK import. See my profile pic. Cheers, Sohan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
