You'd want some km verification re the changed speedo, and a good look underneath, despite having reportedly belonged to Porsche Club Pres in GB.

Despite asking, the seller cannot/has not provided some recent evidence of maintenance - only stating that it was owned by a local Porsche tech - but no name is provided. Plus he's highlighting 157k in kilometers, and as we all know the speedo must have been in miles originally. NSW is starting to be a bit easier to move around in now, so I may go and have a look. QLD and SA cars are still off the table. I thought someone here may know it/viewed it/driven it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot looking car that. Really liked the colour. Not me sadly. For me a 944 Turbo really has to have some quality providence given the cost of getting one rebuilt if something goes wrong. This one was a superb colour combo and looked the goods, but I couldn't see it in the flesh because of recent travel issues and I think the seller thought I was tyre kicking and didn't take my request for some better service history documents beyond the UK books which stopped in 1999 - so that's 20 years of vague "looked after by a Porsche tech" gambling I couldn't accept. I'm please for who ever has bought it and hope their pre-purchase homework checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That car has seen use at PI historics and regular use at The Bend. Hope the next owner exercises it also. Car was previously owned by Ham Legay (not sure on spelling) and has been in the Porsche wind tunnel for some aero development.
