Porsche 944 S | 1987 Highlights: – 2.5-litre 16-valve four-cylinder engine, petrol, 5-speed manual transmission – 65,600 km on the odometer – Timing belt, power steering pump and clutch renewed approximately 10,000 km ago – Rare colour combination of Azurite Blue with a beige Porsche Script interior – Stamped service book and invoice file spanning more than 30 years The private seller offers for sale this 1987 Porsche 944 S, powered by a 2.5-litre 16-valve four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. It is finished in Azurite Blue (paint code LY50) and combined with a beige interior in Porsche Script (989), featuring leather seats with Porsche script cloth inserts and matching door panels and carpets. According to the seller, this colour combination is rare, and the seller estimates that fewer than 100 examples of the 944 S were delivered in this specification. The car has had three owners and shows 65,600 km on the odometer, with the mileage supported by documentation. The first owner was an official Porsche dealership, which had the car delivered ex works with a range of optional extras: a removable lifting roof (650), rear apron (472), power steering (657), ABS (593), rear window wiper (425), electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors (528), a windscreen with tinted top band (567), electric windows (651), automatic heating control (424) and a cassette holder (423). The original Blaupunkt cassette radio is also fitted. The seller reports that the car has been maintained regularly throughout its life. Approximately 10,000 km ago, the timing belt, power steering pump and clutch were renewed by specialists, with all work invoiced and documented. The car comes with its stamped service book, the original delivery stickers and a file of invoices and inspection reports spanning more than 30 years. The original sales catalogue and factory literature are also included. The photo gallery includes detailed views of the engine bay, the luggage compartment with spare wheel and tool kit, and the underside of the rear floor, giving potential buyers a thorough impression of the car. The 944 S was introduced for the 1987 model year as the link between the 944 and the later 944 S2. It received a new 16-valve twin-cam cylinder head, developed with technology from the 928 S4, which raised output to 190 hp. The engine is recognisable by the “16 Ventiler” script on the intake plenum. The 944 S was produced for only two model years, making it one of the less common variants in the 944 range. With its front-mounted engine, rear-mounted transaxle gearbox and balanced weight distribution, the 944 is known for its balanced handling and approachable character. The free-revving 16-valve engine gives the 944 S a sportier edge, while the practical hatchback body and comfortable cabin make it a usable classic for regular driving. With its documented history, recent maintenance work, period factory options and distinctive colour combination, this example will appeal to Porsche enthusiasts and collectors alike.
