1985 Porsche 944 | Paignton, Devon

A 1985 Porsche 944, the front-engined, rear-wheel-drive coupé known for its balanced handling. Its gearbox sits at the rear, which spreads the weight almost evenly across both axles. A broad rear hatch gives it more everyday practicality than most sports cars of its time. This car is red with a black interior and is in very good condition. It has the 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine and seats four, with the flared arches that set the 944 apart from the 924 before it. The red paintwork shows those arches off, and the dark cabin gives a clean contrast through open doors and the hatch. The low, wide 1980s coupé shape suits period advertising, photography, and fashion and editorial shoots. Music videos and 1980s-set film and TV also benefit from its stance, and the hatch takes kit on location or at events. It makes a distinctive wedding or birthday car too. It is based in Paignton, Devon.
