The Appeal

Introduced in 1976, the Porsche 924 was the first production road-going Porsche to use a water-cooled powerplant, and the first to use the front-engine-rear-wheel-drive layout in the company's history. The car's angular styling, with its wedge-shaped nose and those oh-so-popular pop-up lights, were designed by Harm Lagaay, and sealed the car's popularity.

It was arguably, though, with the Turbo and S models that the car came into its own. That extra performance made all of the difference to a great-looking but relatively slow Porsche. In 1985, when Volkswagen discontinued the EA831 powerplant, Porsche popped in the 944's 163 bhp 2.5 litre straight four, tightened up the braking - and created the 924S, easily the most desirable of the model.

Thanks to a relatively short run as they moved into more expensive cars, the 924S was retired in 1989 - making these particularly rare and sought after. This example, finished in Zermatt silver, is in very good condition, with a tidy interior and excellent paintwork. The car has been well-maintained by Porsche specialists, with a comprehensive service history and numerous mechanical parts replaced or refurbished. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a classic Porsche that's ready to drive and enjoy.
