For Sale - 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

While this has not been an easy decision, I have decided that I am going to sell my 951. I am getting a 996 C4 shortly and there simply is not enough room or budget for all of the cars.

Here is a detailed description of the vehicle which has been lovingly maintained, but is a driver that I use as much as I can.

I love the car, please don't me wrong. But like Chad996's recent decision on a his S2, sometimes there are priorities in life that change one's outlook. I am trying to get closer to my father again and we have cars in common. We are both working on British restorations an 1953 MG TD and my TR6 (see pictures) and I would like to spend more time with him on that. I can't do that and keep the 951 running - the upgrade addiction is too hard to surmount

Also after having driven my 951 close to 2,500 miles of long distance driving in the last month, I have realized that I need something a little more comfortable. I really like long trips in sports cars. The C4 presented itself as great deal and I made a decision. It is as simple as that

If I had unlimited money and space - I would keep them all! I may still get to do so if no one makes a reasonable offer

sebastian944

so how do you get un-attached emotionally to sell? I've been told that I've become a total emotional nut when it comes to my car. I even decided to stop making left turns at intersections, and i become a basketcase if i find a small ding or tiny stonechip on the car paint. I realize my stress level will really go down if i sell the car, but i can't imagine being without it.

Saw this car in person and sat in the gorgeous interior. As good as the wheels look in pictures, they look 10x better in person. Good luck Fergus, it sounds like you're making the right decision to spend more time with your Dad and get off the modification train.

Theres a TD in one of those pictures? Wow, lots of work ahead of you!

Not getting off the train - just getting on another track...

I, too, have seen and been in this car. It's quite nice, and treated very well by Fergus.

Nice Jags! (I worked on an XJ6 last week.)

I know of a Ferrari 400i for sale...
