190 The NEC Classic Motor Show Sale - Cars Registration: M447 VJL Chassis No.: WPOZZZ96ZSS815104 Estimate: £30,000 - £35,000 Lot 753 1994 Porsche 968 Club Sport The standard 968 was a great all-round sports car, but as a last ‘hurrah’ to this enduring lineage Porsche wanted to create a car tailored more for the pure enthusiast and, in particular, one that would excel in competition. In late 1992, the 968 ‘Club Sport’ was introduced and, whilst it was mechanically identical to the standard 968 and shared the same 3.0-litre engine (producing 225lb-ft of torque and 240bhp) and 6-speed gearbox (situated at the rear axle, which helped give the car it’s excellent weight distribution), it differed in a number of important ways. This track-focused run-out model adopted the philosophy of ‘less is more’ by removing all luxury- related equipment from the basic build specification. With the no-frills approach, less weight and clever suspension, Porsche could now focus media attention on the Club Sport’s fast road and track abilities. In total, just 1,923 CS examples were produced worldwide and it’s now rightly regarded as one of the best driving Porsche cars ever made The standard 968 was a great all-round sports car, but as a last ‘hurrah’ to this enduring lineage Porsche wanted to create a car tailored more for the pure enthusiast and, in particular, one that would excel in competition.

Finished in Speed Yellow this exquisite Club Sport with its black interior stands out from the crowd. Designed for Porsche enthusiasts seeking track-inspired performance, this is one such example that certainly delivers. Cosmetically refinished in 2017 with new sills and front wings, the overall condition is now outstanding and beautifully detailed throughout, complemented by its black ‘Club Sport’ decals and 17’’ Cup Alloys. Forming part of a large Porsche collection in recent years, the car is accompanied by its original tool roll and mandatory compressor, a comprehensive and detailed service history including the document wallet with service and handbooks and a photographic record of the body refurbishment. With Club Sports being on every Porsche collectors wish list, this is one example that is most certainly worthy of your very serious consideration. The unashamedly driver-focused 968 Club Sport superbly presented in Speed Yellow. More Details Lot 753 Bid On Lot 753
