Whilst it is certainly true that there are a number of similarities that follow through from the previous model, the Stuttgart firm have always been very keen to point out that at least 85% of the car, in fact, differed. From the obvious change to the bumpers through to the increased displacement of car's motive power. ABS brakes now became standard and careful attention has been paid to the aerodynamics used to reduce the drag coefficient down to virtually zero. The stability and road holding at high speed were also greatly improved with a new retractable spoiler automatically extending at 50mph seriously increasing downforce and doubling the volume of air fed into the engine compartment.

Registered new on 21st May 1990 this example is the desirable right hand drive, manual, convertible derivative. The Porsche has been treated and cared for throughout its life and has recently had extensive works to the convertible roof including a new gearbox and sensors, motor repairs and a refurbished control unit as well as a comprehensive service approximately 950 miles ago with GT One Ltd, Porsche specialists based in Surrey, a year before that. In fact, works have taken place reliably with this firm stretching back to 2016 which includes regular servicing, air conditioning and general maintenance. The lack of usage undertaken between 2019 and 2023 relates to the Covid epidemic during which time, the owner stayed in Ireland. After which, it was thus refreshed and used again. Two fresh Pirelli P Zero tyres were fitted in 2017 but with only circa 2,600 miles driven between then and now, their use can only really be described as occasional. Works continue going back with GT One and then back to Porsche main dealers including substantial servicing in 2014. In fact, 2014 represents an important date as it was then that the Porsche Service Centre in Byfleet undertook a full and comprehensive engine rebuild costing just shy of £20,000 and detailing nine pages of labour and spare parts. Work also included a new clutch kit, two suspension wishbones and new front brake discs and pads were also fitted at this time. In 2023 it was treated to an extensive 6,000 mile service costing over £4,000 including rectification of some general minor issues. Presented in classic Guards Red with Linen leather interior, including desirable options such as 17" Cup alloys and Sports front seats, it also comes complete with a current MoT test certificate with no advisories, valid until June 2025, and an indoor Porsche cover. This is a very well presented example ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian. Consigned by Daniel Godin
