One to Buy: 76,000km from new 1994 Porsche 968 Club Sport
/
Although commercially the early 1990s was Porsche’s nadir, during this troubled period the company still produced a wide array of critically acclaimed and now much sought after models.
Perhaps the most accessible of these is the 968 Club Sport which was launched at the Paris Motor Show in October 1992 and that swept to victory in many subsequent performance car of the year awards.
Created to stimulate demand that was otherwise lacking for the ageing 968 range, the Club Sport was a simplified bare bones special stripped of most superfluous luxuries in favour of light weight performance parts.
Porsche produced 1923 examples of the Club Sport between 1992 and ‘95, just 19 of which were originally destined for the Australian market.
One of these 19 examples is currently on offer with Classic Throttle Shop in Sydney.
Unusually configured with a Polar Silver exterior (most Club Sports were bright yellows and blues), this particular example was also specified without a sunroof which makes it particularly desirable. Recaro bucket seats and air-conditioning were other significant features originally fitted.
The car was delivered new via Hamiltons of Victoria in May 1995, since which time it has accumulated a little over 76,000km.
Now offered freshly serviced and in spectacular condition, this nicely optioned low mileage 968 Club Sport would make an excellent addition to most collections.
