Description

A really usable example of one of the more interesting cars from the 944 range, this 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet recently came to us as a trade-in and offers an opportunity to get into an S2 Cabriolet at a very sensible price. Powered by Porsche’s 3.0-litre 16-valve four-cylinder engine and paired with the 5-speed manual gearbox, the S2 was a significant step on from the earlier naturally aspirated 944s. With around 210bhp and, more importantly, plenty of torque, they are a genuinely quick and very satisfying car to drive. This one is particularly good on the road – it pulls extremely well, the gearbox feels right and the whole car feels tight, planted and mechanically together. Having covered approximately 115,000 miles, it comes with a good service history and will be supplied by us freshly serviced and with a new NCT. It presents really well in metallic blue with a contrasting light leather interior, dark blue hood and original Porsche alloy wheels. The bodywork is very presentable and, importantly with these cars, it is structurally very good. Being completely transparent, there are a number of cosmetic areas that could be improved if somebody wanted to take the car to the next level. The electric hood operates correctly and is watertight, although there are a few small tears to the outer skin. The dashboard has had some previous repairs which remain visible, the seats have been recoloured at some point and there are a handful of smaller interior trim items that could benefit from attention. All of this can be seen clearly in the photographs. It isn’t quite at the level of cosmetic preparation we would normally put into one of our retail cars, and we’ve priced it accordingly rather than carrying out a long list of relatively minor cosmetic improvements. What you are getting underneath it all is a very good-driving, presentable and fundamentally sound S2 Cabriolet. With some gradual cosmetic TLC, we think it has the makings of a €22,000–€24,000 example, but equally it can simply be serviced, NCT’d and enjoyed exactly as it is. €16,000 firm. A lot of Porsche for the money and, most importantly, a 944 S2 that drives every bit as well as it should.

I bought my first Classic Pajero from Simon recently. From my first interaction with Simon to delivery I had a very pleasant experience. When viewing the vehicle, I took my time and Simon let me take as long as I wanted and he was there in the background to answer any questions I had. I felt very comfortable throughout the viewing. Due to my personal circumstances, the purchase took a little longer than usual, and Simon was very understanding about this. I came away with a beautiful Pajero and felt confident and extremely happy with my purchase. I can’t speak highly enough of Simon and his team. Finally I’d just like to say, I’m not a collector or dealer, I just turned 50 and decided to treat myself, so if you are thinking of your first classic car, I can highly recommend Deane Motors and Simon.

I can’t recommend Simon highly enough. Over the years, I have trusted him with both selling my own classic cars and purchasing vehicles on my behalf, and every experience has been exceptional. What sets him apart is his remarkable attention to detail. Nothing is overlooked—from paint depth, chassis condition, originality of components, and matching numbers, to the quality of previous restoration work and even the smallest signs of wear that many others would miss. His inspections are incredibly thorough, honest, and backed by genuine expertise rather than just trying to make a sale. You either have an eye for a car or you don’t, Simon does. I also requested him inspect a car on my behalf in Holland before I committed to buying, without seeing the vehicle myself. His assessment was accurate, balanced, and completely trustworthy, giving me the confidence to make informed decisions. If he recommends a car, I know exactly what I’m getting. If they advise walking away, it’s for a good reason. On the sales side, he has always represented my cars professionally, accurately, and with complete integrity. Communication can be on a fine line at times throughout the process and yes it can be frustrating and having spent time with Simon I appreciate how busy he is running the workshop from a mobile ordering parts and keeping the likes of his PA (Simon Walsh) on his toes In the classic car world, trust is everything, and Simon has earned mine time and time again. Whether you’re buying, selling, or need an expert pre-purchase inspection, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. His knowledge, meticulous eye for detail, and unwavering honesty make them one of the very best in the business. Keep flying the classic car flag lads, Iv tried over the years to sell classic cars and failed.. these are not new cars, these are old cars trying to be kept alive by the likes of Deane Motors..Backboned by the legend Ollie Deane

Simon is an absolute gent, I was stuck for a way to get out to the dealership and he picked me up from Dublin City centre (now that was him being sound, don’t expect him to do that for you too!) but the whole way out I got to learn alot about life and business from him! A very genuine man, absolutely does not fit the stereotype of a sleazy salesman trying to rip you off! He’s genuinely prioritising a great customer experience for you over squeezing any bit of extra cash out of you! They’ve a serious collection of motors on offer there too! I highly highly recommend 🫡
