1982 PORSCHE 924 TURBO SERIES 2
Inari Silver/Onyx Metallic

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.

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.
