Between 1993 and 1995 Porsche offered a lighter-weight "Clubsport" version of the 968 for enthusiasts seeking increased track performance. The car was offered in basic stripped out form with no air conditioning, sunroof, or electric windows and no sound proofing either. Revised track suspension, Recaro seats, 17" wheels with 225 front and 255 rear tyres and a close ratio 6 speed manual gearbox all featured as standard, although airbags, heated washer jets, rear seat and rear wiper were all removed. This was a serious no compromise track car with performance to match from it's 3.0 litre 16V 240bhp engine. The 'Sport' was a later, more refined edition fitted with comfort seats and electric windows, but otherwise identical to the 'Clubsport' without the graphics.

This particular car was a Sport model, built in 1995 and has covered a total of 130,000 miles or so, with a major engine re-build by marque specialists just 20,000 miles ago. Finished in it's original colour of Midnight blue with black leather, the car has had minor performance enhancing upgrades fitted such as a 257bhp Superchip, upgraded Koni dampers and suspension, upgraded M030 brakes, special alloy wheels, a new clutch and a sports stainless steel exhaust. It has never had a cage fitted or been modified for racing but is presented as a fast road car or ideal track day car. Complete with a comprehensive service history, current M.O.T and a history file full of invoices, it is very sensibly guided here today and must represent one of the best value for money Lots in the sale.
