1982 PORSCHE 924 TURBO SERIES 2 Inari Silver/Onyx Metallic 14 Stamp Service Record S/S Powerflow Exhaust Highly Original Car Turbo Series 2 - A Pure Bred Sports Car A model that arose out of the need to bridge the gap between the basic 924s and the more powerful 911s. Having already found the benefits of turbochargers on several race cars and crucially 1975 911 Turbo, Porsche chose to use this technology for the 924, eventually introducing the 924 Turbo as a 1978 model. The model remains as rare and elusive today as it was then and trying to find a really good one is a hard ask. Over the last 20 years I have owned hundreds of Porsche models though only two 924 Turbos. This is a beautiful and improved series 2 car with the model being revised in 1979. By using a smaller turbo charger running at increased boost, slightly higher compression and an improved fuel injection system, the reliability improved and power rose to a heady 177 horsepower. This is a real hardcore engine engineered to an extremely high standard, the character of the car is wonderful, the dogleg gearbox and turbo rush make each drive memorable. Chassis : 93A0141311 Engine : 1984 CC 4 cylinder turbocharged Engine no : 3101377 Colour : Inari Silver/Onyx Metallic Y4Z2 DOR : 01 10 1982 Cabin : Tartan Beige/Brown 4AD / Vinyl BSP-835 Reg : MGF 423Y The Drive The engine runs beautifully with excellent oil pressure. Gear change is tight & supple. On the road manners are impeccable with sure grip from the tyres and big brakes, the whole experience is very tight and solid a clear indicator of ongoing care. Original 15 " rims providing a comfortable experience on a level that modern sports cars can never replicate. The whole impression is of a car that still feels box fresh moving as one whole piece with excellent suspension and a wonderful inkeeping muted sports exhaust designed by powerflow with a lifetime guarantee with certificate present. Condition Externally the coachwork is gleaming with no problem areas and its tidy underside too. Every panel looks original with the factory B posts still in place with manufacturer's labels. Aboard the cabin time has literally been standing still with little wear indicators to seats doors cards or any leathers worth comment, a particularly sharp vehicle internally with original carpets and mats in wonderfully preserved order which is the general theme throughout, all in full working order that means all switchgear is working well. The shell is 100 % solid in all areas with no rust. Service Information Very well maintained with a large box file of service receipts and MOTs dating back to the erarly 90s, an impressive record to bolster the service booklet which has 14 stamnps, this being the tip of the iceberg. There are no outstanding matters and it drives exactly as Porsche intended it to. The car was stored amongst other exotic classics for the last 6 years recently being recomissioned with a major service and belts. Summary An example with such genuine original condition is surely to be coveted and cherished. An almost unrivalled 924 turbo in the current market, ready to be appreciated stored and maintained in the manner it has clearly been accustomed. This scarcely available model is nothing other than a pleasure to be handling and have grown very fond of gazing and marvelling at the utter originality of it, the classic clean lines offer a simplicity that is perhaps not yet fully appreciated truth be told, a car that captivates you very easily and truly deserves a climate to be kept in. The 924 model is 40 next year, get ahead of the revival with the rarest model of them all.
