The Porsche 959 was by far the most technologically advanced sports
car when it was introduced in 1985. Porsche built only 292 of these
supercars between 1987 and 1988. Their timeless design,
state-of-the-art systems, and superior driving characteristics make
them still one of the greatest sports cars of all time.
Canepa had the 959 imported from Japan which arrived in California
on August 14th, 2012. When the car arrived at Canepa, the car was
in exceptional original condition due to being just shy of 1,553
original miles on the odometer. Canepa set to work to go through
the entire car, inspecting every system and detailing every surface
until it presented and functioned as though it had just left the
Zuffenhausen factory.
The car would find a new owner on February 27th, 2013 and would
remain with them close to half a decade. During their ownership the
car would only see a little less than 2,000 miles added to its
odometer, the car being taken out for special occasions. During
this time, the owners ensured that the car was properly cared for
which is displayed by the recent service work documentation, with a
major recent service completed in 2015.
Since arriving at Canepa, our 959 experts have inspected the 3,516
mile car from back to front and have determined it to be an
excellent original example of one of the best sports cars ever
built. Fully concours prepared this legendary Porsche is ready to
anchor any car collection, or for the indulgent, ready to be driven
and experienced.
