1983 Porsche 924 Coupe Rare Automatic 66,000 Miles - 6 Owners - Air Con Engine Rebuild Diamond Cut Turbo Alloys File of History 100 + HD Images Beautiful Condition PGN 474Y Excellent retro mobile and a fantastic introduction to front engined Porsche ownership. Lovely period colours on display to embrace, it's amazing how colours fall in and out of favor with the more funky combinations raising in desirability as the model ages. This particular combo is as retro as it gets with Bronze metallic paintwork and light Brown and Cream original Pascha interior. This car has factory fitted air conditioning and no sunroof plagued with historical leaks. This is an original survivor, not a restored car, its never been meddled with and has no accident damage. Its complete and whole with a clean topside and underside. Its a total pleasure to drive, it wraps around you hugging the road and as an automatic it just makes sense winding around loch sides and glens. The sweetest of 924 models that would not look out of place at your local Summer Porsche show. D.O.R. 01-12-1983 Chassis WPOZZZ92ZDN401771 Engine XJ007404 6 Previous owners 924 This model has the 2.0 engine with the rare 3 speed automatic gearbox makes for a lazy comfortable drive, equally excellent in traffic situations and country drives. Enthusiast keepers over the last few years have lavished many times this cars worth in maintaining it and overhauling aspects of it to ensure its a great drive. To this end trying to source another example that could be used with such peace of mind will be a hard act to follow. Only 66,000 miles and in rather nice condition with a nice clean structurally sound body with a glossy finish to the panels, this is not some restored example, its an original survivor. A high degree of originality and superb mechanicals. File of History File of history accompanies with nearly £3000 worth of documented bills. Crucially its had a partial engine rebuild and fortunes spent on it in the last 3 years a summary of which I have detailed below. This car is ready to run and I would have no hesitation in turning the key and driving it anywhere in any conditions. A substantial amount of money has been invested in preparing it for future driving days and to ensure it performs as close as it can to when it was new.

I have inspected underneath and its solid with no welding or evidence of accident damage. I have had the bonnet professionally repainted with perfect colour match as it had a few scratches present. Alloys/Tyres Freshly diamond cut turbo alloys set the look of the car and they have a great finish. Matching recent Toyo tyres. Cabin Really excels in the cabin. The carpets are all clean and of unworn appearance. Steering wheels and gear shifter reflect the low mileage too. The trim itself is in great order, there is not a single item missing or broken, not a single screw cover or a carpet tack, everything is present and correct and all fabrics and bolsters are all in great order. The roof lining is perfect with none of the nasty swell or damp deform that you see in so many other examples. Inside the boot is lovely, carpets fresh, all fixings present etc. Nice and fresh under the carpet and in the wheel wells too, it is hiding no previous repairs. Radio works, bonnet pull works, all electrics windows and boot release, mirrors all work, it's all in good order. To note, driver seat has a loose seam and requires stitching. Few cracks on the dashboard but by no means bad at all, just a few creepers started around the upper vents. Engine Bay This is lovely and clean and fresh. It runs perfectly, smooth and quite with a lovely sewing machine like precision whir. Upper bulkhead below the windscreen is so clean you could eat your dinner from it. No previous repairs, this is all original. Inside the boot is immaculate when you peel the carpet away and peer into the inisde of the rear quarters, this is a car thats been kept dry stored. Summary Nice starter classic for someone, it drives 100% and has all it's power, amazingly there is not a knock or even a faint rattle from the any of the suspension components even on a bumpy road and not even any squeaky trim either, testament to the low mileage. The engine and gearbox are superb too, no disappointments at all. Two original keys, cleaner leather tool roll and luggage blind with full size spare alloy wheel. MOT is July 2019 and the car will be MOT and tax exempt come July 2022. A great condition solid rare 924 model with low miles, these are at the bottom of a huge curve right now and is sure to appreciate. The car is a credible asset and better than cash in the bank. This year is the 40th anniversary of the model. Any inspection welcomed. UK delivery no problem. All p/x considered. £4,995 |
