SELLER'S COMMENTS
Well-kept 1989 Porsche 944 S2 in classic red, backed by a full service history that strongly supports its condition and reliability for its age. The 3.0 litre petrol engine is the largest and most advanced in the 944 range, delivering strong mid range torque and balanced performance through Porsche’s renowned transaxle layout, which improves weight distribution and handling. This is a solid choice for buyers seeking a usable classic with proven mechanical pedigree rather than a neglected project.
Inside, the 944 S2 offers supportive sports seats, a driver focused cockpit and a practical 2+2 layout, making it a comfortable weekend toy or occasional daily driver. While there is no active warranty on this vehicle, the complete service record helps build confidence in its maintenance history and future dependability. A well sorted S2 like this is becoming harder to find, so if you are looking for a collectible Porsche that you can drive and enjoy, this example deserves prompt consideration.

Porsche 944
Porsche’s 944 Cabriolet doesn’t just occupy a rarefied space; it’s the sort of machine you spot once in a blue moon on Joburg’s leafy backroads, and even then, you wonder if you imagined it. On paper at least, R339,900 buys you more than nostalgia—it’s a full-blooded, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive drop-top from the late ‘80s, a time when the classic European sports car was a living, breathing thing rather than just a Cars & Coffee talking point. Forget modern convenience. This car is petrol only, manual only, and that matters, because driving feel is the whole reason it exists. You’re not cross-shopping this with a Polo GTI for your work commute. That lone example on the market? It’s the 1989 S2 Cabriolet, the flagship open-top with Porsche’s oddball 3.0-litre four-pot under the bonnet—a real outlier for the brand back then. It’s done 213,389 km, so it’s seen a fair bit of South African tarmac, but it’s not a battered relic either. Anyone hunting down a 944 here knows it’s not about low mileage or flawless originality. Parts aren’t always easy to find, and you’ll want an insurer who understands what this is. The draw is the balance, the way the gearshift feels alive in your hand, and a silhouette that’s still sharp, even after 30-odd years. No new stock, no factory order—just this one, and that’s the point.
