Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo has been extensively converted into a track-focused weapon, featuring custom bodywork, a stripped interior with a roll cage, and significant engine enhancements. While presented with a unique "dazzle camouflage" paint job, it exhibits several cosmetic flaws including paint cracks, rust, and a delaminating rear screen, alongside mechanical notes like a stuck odometer and the absence of a current MOT, positioning it as a project or enthusiast vehicle.

Condition

The car has undergone significant modifications for track use, including a stripped interior, roll cage, and custom bodywork. While the paintwork has a unique finish and the exterior has no major dents, there are cosmetic issues like paint cracking, rust around the tailgate, and a delaminating rear screen. The interior has rust in the driver's footwell and a broken boot lock cable. Mechanically, it has been upgraded but the odometer is stuck and it lacks a current MOT.
