1988 Porsche 959 Komfort for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort, offered by DK Engineering in Chorleywood, United Kingdom, is a left-hand-drive car in Guards Red with black leather. Helmuth Bott conceived it for Group B, Porsche showed the study at Frankfurt in 1983 and the production car there in 1985, and Karosserie Baur in Stuttgart assembled 337, most in Komfort trim with full leather and air conditioning.

Its 2,849 cc flat-six, with two turbochargers working in sequence, develops 450 PS (331 kW) and 500 Nm, sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and the variable PSK drive system. Porsche quoted 317 km/h; tests of the time recorded 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds.

Delivered in Stockholm on 13 October 1988 and serviced in Sweden until 1992, it was then bought through Auto Salon Singen by a Berlin owner who kept it twenty years, drove over 50,000 km and had Porsche Centre Berlin maintain it almost yearly. Japan followed, with Porsche Centre Meguro and the specialist Proslink. Back in Europe it had an inspection and major service at Porsche Centre Reading in 2023, wastegate, damper and actuator work by DK Engineering in 2024, and annual services in September 2025 and 2026. It shows 62,550 km.

FAQ

This Porsche 959 Komfort in the European market

Can this Porsche be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Chorleywood, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Porsche compare?

62,550 km recorded, against a median of 20,550 km across the Porsche advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Porsche 959, and how does a purchase work?

DK Engineering, a professional dealer in Chorleywood, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 959 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Chorleywood, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Porsche 959 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with DK Engineering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the United Kingdom?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Porsche market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 959, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
