Announced in 1991, the 968 was the fourth of Porsche's family of front-engined sports cars. Styled along Porsche 928 lines, the 968 retained its 944 predecessor's basic mechanical layout while improving on its specification, boasting a 2,990cc engine and six-speed manual transmission. Porsche's big four-cylinder now boasted 'Variocam' variable valve timing and produced 240bhp, which was good enough for a top speed of 156mph with 60mph coming up in 6.2 seconds. Despite its improved performance, the 968 had the misfortune of arriving at a time of recession and did not sell well.
Stripped-out Club Sport and racetrack-ready Turbo S versions were added to the range before production ceased after only four years. Intended for enthusiasts seeking enhanced on-track performance, the lightweight Club Sport did without much of the 968's 'luxury' equipment - for example: there was less sound deadening insulation used, and the window lifts were hand operated - though features such as air conditioning, a sunroof, and an audio system remained available as options. The rear seats were deleted, the fronts replaced with lightweight Recaro competition seats, and a non-airbag steering wheel fitted.
There was also a less complex wiring loom and a smaller battery; the result being a reduction in weight of around 100kg when compared to the standard 968. Improvements to the running gear includes revised suspension, lowered ride height, and 17" (up from 16") wheels shod with wider tyres. In 1993, the Porsche 968 Club Sport was voted 'Performance Car of the Year' by the UK's Performance Car magazine. This desirable limited edition Porsche was sold new in Germany before being imported into the UK in February 2007 at circa 69,000 kilometres.
Dated 17th March 2007 when the Porsche was sold to it first UK owner, the purchase invoice/bill of sale on file states that the car had had only two owners in Germany. The current vendor purchased the Club Sport on 5th June 2009 at 76,392 kilometres from Gmund Cars of Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, UK. Accompanying documentation includes the 2009 sales invoice; a Porsche specification sheet; UK DVLA correspondence; an expired MoT (2009-2010); and old German/British registration documents copies. This is a smart example of a rare 968 CS with moderate mileage, stating 76,403 KM on the odometer.
The car would require some minor work before returning to the roads owing to a period in storage but is overall in good condition. Please note import taxes will be liable if the car is to remain in the EU.
