Showing 151, 490 miles. Serviced and maintained every year in my ownership regardless of miles or cost. Many new and upgraded parts over the 14 years ownership.
I purchased this car in 2009. Repainted to the original colours in 2013 along with a fully rebuilt engine with Omega forged pistons, Cometic MLS HG, ARP head studs, upgraded K26/ 27 hybrid turbo now running 1. 1 bar boost, 944 front mounted intercooler in genuine 944 turbo front panels, custom made intake set up, adjustable ignition, refreshed uprated fuel system from tank to injectors delivering 30% more fuel, Piper cam, vernier pulley, custom stainless tapered exhaust system, last dyno showed 100 more horses than its standard 170bhp from factory. This is in the 924 GTS Clubsport area.

In addition it has a number of rare finishing touches such as the period and super hard to find new old stock FOHA front lip spoiler, rare genuine Porsche bolt on badge panel, Porsche script door handles, 924 GTS/ 944 Turbo Cup manual adjustable mirrors.

Original Porsche brochures.
Used for classic hillclimbing for a few seasons.

Amazing unique looks and performance.
Everybody seems to want a replica 924 Carrera GT or GTS but often lack the performance. This car has the performance of a 924 GTS Clubsport in a lovely narrow body for a fraction of the cost of a GT/ GTS.
Potentially comes with a very extensive spares package for extra cost, including custom rally lamp pod with Cibie Super Oscars on genuine Porsche bolt on badge panel, engine block and head for refresh, engine parts including new JE forged pistons, new Sachs clutch kit, spare Quaife LSD equipped gearbox, fresh powder coated drive train, hubs, many excellent condition body panels, Porsche 8'' Wintercult wheels.
Spares list is almost endless of new, refurbished and hard to find parts collected over 14yrs to ensure this car has the spares it needs, as soon as it needs it.
