She looks brand new, how long have you had her and how many miles on the odometer -- enquiring minds want to know ,ha!

Lovely car in a subtle colour that fits perfectly with how much of a wonderful all round package the S2 is.

I miss mine. So many good memories, especially driving over to Germany with my late Dad to buy it... sigh...

We sold our 1986 951 a couple years ago and have missed not having a 944 to enjoy. This one fills that void nicely.

The 944/951/968 is a classic shape/design that has stood the test of time . Like a Datsun 240z . I had a 87 944s . Loved the car until the timing belt snapped .
