1988 Porsche 959 Komfort For Sale - Only 1,843 Miles From New, Ex Sultan Of Brunei Collection LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort The Sultan of Brunei is well known by car enthusiasts to have one of the most incredible car collections in the world. Although there have been very few photos taken of the collection, he is rumored to have more than 2000 incredible cars including multiple Mclaren F1’s, many one-off custom Ferrari’s, Bentelys, Rolls Royces and much more. Very few cars have been sold from the collection and they are usually extremely low mileage and in impeccable condition. When you have a collection full of the best supercars, a Porsche 959 is a must and the Sultan had a few of them. They redefined the sports car market in the late 1980s with its many technological advancements that have since become standard on most modern supercars. In comparison to the Ferrari F40 and Lamborghini Countach, which were very raw, simple machines, the 959 had many electronic and mechanical improvements that made the 959 the most luxurious, reliable, and tractable. Alongside Lamborghini’s Countach and Ferrari’s F40 and 288 GTO, the 959 was not only a “poster car” for a generation of automotive enthusiasts, but also an ultimate low-production handbuilt collectible. Powered by a flat-6 engine derived from the successful 962 race car, the 959 used water-cooled heads instead of air-cooling as the thermal limit could not accommodate the 444 HP output of the 959. Power was fed through a specially designed BorgWarner 6-speed transmission, which includes an extremely low "Gelände" gear for use in off-road situations, which the Type 961 rally car might have encountered. Porsche’s Porsche-Steur-Kupplung (PSK) system allowed the driver to vary the 370 lb-ft of torque between the rear and front axles, allowing up to 80o the rear under hard acceleration, all managed electronically. This 1988 Porsche 959 offered here for sale, was in the Sultans collection for over 20 years and has only accumulated a mere 1,843 miles from new. As per the Porsche COA, this 959 was completed in July,1998 and is one of only 31 examples ordered new in the VIP Graphite Metallic paint. In 2004, it was sold from the Sultan’s collection to an astute private collector, who imported it into the USA. In 2006, it was sold to noted car collector Ken Lingenfelter. From there, it had a complete mechanical service by Canepa at the cost of $221,384.44. Mr. Lingenfelter would keep this very special car in his personal collection until 2015 before selling it to another noted private collection. This California smog-legal 959 has been extremely well cared for and serviced extensively throughout its life time and is accompanied by a letter from the Sultan, owner’s manuals,tool kit, service receipts, Porsche COA and import documentation. The 959 is one of the most important and impressive supercars ever produced, and this one could possibly be the lowest-documented mile example. Additional Details: 1988 PORSCHE 959 KOMFORT -
