Porsche 968 Targa from 2nd hand complete checkbook German first delivery (1992)

Vehicle description

Model history:

In the Porsche class, there was a frightening low tide at the beginning of the nineties. Fortunately, the 911 was revived and sold quite well, but the four- and eight-cylinder model series seemed to have no real future. With the transaxle sports car called 968 came at the end of 1991 once again a new infusion of the 944 theme, this time with a fabulous 3.0-liter displacement four-cylinder and 240 hp. The 968 was available in the body variants convertible and coupé, the Porsche 968 was finally built until 1995 - only just over 11,000 copies were built.

General information about the vehicle:

The Porsche Coupé to be purchased in this auction is a 968, which dates from 1992 and has the FIN WP0ZZZ96ZNS801000. Over the years, after consultation with the seller, a total of only 2 owners came together, the so-called matching numbers are assumed and a complete checkbook for the traceability of the history of this transaxle athlete can be presented. A look at the last TÜV reveals a validity period until September 2023, a K-license plate may already carry this coupé.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

The exterior of the Porsche 968 Coupé is discreetly painted in grey paint - repaints are not known to the current owner of this vehicle and the seller can rule out an accident for the time since he owns the car. Modifications to the body can apparently not be found and all plastic attachments are in obviously good condition without gross inconsistencies. For more details regarding the exterior of this Porsche, please have a look at the other photos and videos.

Exterior rims/brakes/chassis:

Tires of the Michelin brand are mounted in a condition of about 50-70% on 5-spoke Porsche alloy rims. Also 50-70% of their new condition should have the brakes according to the information of the seller. The current owner is not aware of any negative abnormalities on the chassis.

Interior:

On the interior side, this transaxle Porsche has partial leather seats with fabric center panels embossed with the "Porsche" lettering. In terms of colour, different shades of grey and black can be taken from the interior - rough traces of use or even missing parts are not known to the seller after consultation. In addition to electric seat adjustment, the following features are available as equipment elements in this 968: electric windows, sunroof, power steering, 4-spoke leather steering wheel with airbag, central locking, fog lights, air conditioning and a modern Porsche radio, which visually fits well into the overall picture of the interior. All instruments, indicators and controls seem to have a full function.

Mileage:

The instrument cluster of the 968 is straightforward and clearly readable: the 6-digit speedometer is housed in the round instrument of the speedometer, on which 273,300 kilometres can be read. Due to the fact that a complete checkbook exists, the total mileage and thus the history of this coupé can be traced.

Engine:

240 hp is generated by the water-cooled 3.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine of this Porsche 968 located in the bow - via a 4-speed automatic transmission, the power of the 4 cylinders is delivered to the rear wheels. Final service work took place in October 2022 after consultation with the current owner.

Subsoil:

Given the age of the vehicle and the mileage of this 968 model, a healthy substance can be taken from the bottom - the seller mentions that there is no rust on the underbody. With the 240 hp 3.0-litre four-cylinder engine, Porsche crowned the four-cylinder naturally aspirated engines at the time: power, efficiency and reliability are its strengths. The weight distribution of the 968 caused by the ingenious transaxle design and its associated good driving dynamics are convincing all along the line and ensure that the future owner of this 968 Coupé will definitely enjoy the transaxle sports car.
