And when it comes to the “Highlights” section, one could go on and on about this vehicle without ever reaching the end.
From the vehicle itself—which is in outstanding technical condition—to the originality of the body and its history, everything is just right and exactly as one would wish.
This exceptional Porsche 964 C2 was delivered on February 20, 1990, through the Porsche Center in Lüdenscheid. Not only is the original sales invoice available, but also the original order form. When tax consultant Mr. Johannes W. from Herdecke ordered this car in the spring of 1990, he was far from ordering it in a “bookkeeper’s trim”—a style typical of his mindset. No, it had to be the exact opposite—the car was to appear luxurious and elegant. Slate Gray Metallic (1,486 DM) with black leather upholstery (4,517 DM), a rear window wiper (508 DM), an electric sunroof (2,254 DM), and the optional leather trim (500 DM). On top of that, Mr. W. obviously couldn’t resist treating himself to a “decent” stereo system—the Blaupunkt SQR49—for a hefty 1,098 DM, which he purchased separately from Fernseh Bertlet in Hagen. This all adds up to a hefty total of 115,912 DM, which was equivalent at the time to the cost of a small condominium.
In keeping with his profession—and of almost inestimable value today—he meticulously collected all the invoices for this vehicle in a binder. Even the original inspection report from the final quality control check is still available, as is a logbook containing all entries for each refueling, including the mileage and the cost of the gasoline.
The vehicle is now in almost completely original condition; only the front hood and the roof were repainted due to a restoration of the windshield frame and the replacement of the windshield.
In 2024, at the ripe old age of 75 and after owning the car for no less than 34 years, Mr. W. decided to sell the vehicle—with 75,400 km on the odometer—to a collector friend. However, the new owner never registered the car in his name but instead drove it using a 2007 transferable license plate; as a result, there is only a single registration record to date. This past spring, he decided to bring the car up to current technical standards once again. All engine leaks were repaired, and a total of nearly 13,000 € was invested.
Due to a downsizing of his collection, he has now decided to sell the vehicle again.
The car is being sold on behalf of a client.
