Station Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Gr8 handling cars, mine really surprised me. I never really fancied 911's growing up, just 924's and 944's. warren t claim and MorrisItalSLX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John F Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've never 'got' 911s either, but would happily lick one of the front-engined models. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDorson Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've had a few of things now I rate them very much. I'd love a good early one as a daily smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 These seem like a fantastic introduction to Porsche ownership. The good ones certainly seem to have crept up in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dome Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've had 3 944s but would love a 924, it'd need to be the van small engined one for me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martc Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Spookily (and controversially for this thread) it was only yesterday that I was pontificating how the front wheel drive Porsches of the 80's have tainted the Porsche brand for me due to their association wih Yuppies and all the 'orrible greed is good stuff of that era.

Pillock Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I want a brown one. Much better than a 911 for actually being usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Ooh, no rear spoiler! My favourite. Tell us more about it, Alusilber. Friend of mine ran one for years, in total shite spec - metallic browny-red with the 3-speed auto. It was a very late 2-litre one with the 5-bolt Turbo wheels. I think the gearbox blew up in the end and it was scrapped sadly. Looking at the MOT history (it had the quality private plate of 924 NNY) it was properly knackered.

I think the gearbox blew up in the end and it was scrapped sadly. Looking at the MOT history (it had the quality private plate of 924 NNY) it was properly knackered. It's a fairly original 1981 924 Lux manuel with deep-bolster "sports" seats - alas, not Pasha but Berber tweed and good old vinyl. Seems to have led a sheltered life, with almost no dash cracks and no significant rot (that I've discovered so far...). Wheels seem to have been repainted at some point but don't look too bad from a distance. Suffers from a very rough cold idle but otherwise drives quite well (at least the last time I took it out of the garage...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
