1989 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet. Last Family Owned For 32 Years. Huge History File

Description

1989 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet. A Cherished Family Heirloom. Few modern classics capture the spirit of late-1980s Porsche motoring quite like the 944 S2 Cabriolet. Combining the balance and engineering finesse of the coupé with the freedom of an open roof, the S2 Cabriolet remains one of the marque’s most rewarding drivers’ cars. This example, first registered on 30 August 1989, has spent the past thirty-two years in the care of one family, making it an exceptionally rare and desirable offering.
Finished in elegant Zermatt Silver Metallic, its paintwork is believed to be original, a testament to careful stewardship and consistent garage storage throughout its life. The body presents beautifully with crisp panel gaps, its electric fabric roof operates with ease, and the car retains its original tonneau cover. Even the factory Design 90 alloy wheels remain in excellent order, shod with a fresh set of Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres. These details speak to a car that has been treasured, not merely kept.
The cabin tells the same story of preservation and care. Trimmed in Porsche’s iconic black script fabric, the electrically adjustable seats show only the lightest signs of age, while the later oval-style dashboard retains its sharpness and functionality. All instruments and controls are in fine working order, the carpets remain fresh thanks to factory Porsche mats, and an upgraded Pioneer Bluetooth head unit discreetly adds modern convenience. From the seats to the switchgear, the car offers the unmistakable feeling of stepping back into a Porsche showroom in 1989.
Beneath the bonnet lies Porsche’s largest and most advanced four-cylinder engine, the 3.0-litre sixteen-valve unit delivering around 208 horsepower through a precise five-speed manual gearbox. It starts instantly, pulls strongly and smoothly, and benefits from a recent cambelt change in March 2022 and a full service just 350 miles ago in April 2024. The car sits correctly, drives without hesitation, and stops with confidence. The underside shows a car that has clearly been stored with diligence.
The history file is exemplary. Supplied with its original owner’s manuals, sales brochure, two keys, a valuable private registration plate, and an impressive collection of invoices, it documents decades of careful maintenance. The original service book contains twelve stamps, corroborated by a meticulous paper trail that includes the very first service in September 1989 at 969 miles and continues through to its most recent service in 2024 at 95,330 miles and has now covered just 95,700 miles.
The S2 Cabriolet is a rare model, produced in limited numbers and prized today for its perfect balance of usability, performance, and classic Porsche character. This particular car stands apart: family-owned for over three decades, always garaged, highly original, beautifully maintained, and accompanied by outstanding documentation.
The opportunity to acquire such a genuine and unspoilt example is not likely to be repeated soon. Few classics offer the same blend of reliability, enjoyment and prestige at this level, and for those seeking an open-top Porsche with true provenance, this is a car that is as irresistible as it is enduring. Come and see for yourself, any inspection welcome! We take all major cards, consider part exchange, and can even deliver to your door.
