Was very tempted by this when it came up. If I hadnt already bought my 944 i'd have been straight on it! Look forward to seeing how you get on with it

Cracking looking car! Really enjoy mine which I've had for just over 2 years, great for a bit of diy mechanics and huge fun to drive. All wrapped for the winter at the moment and can't wait for spring to get her back on the road!

Enjoy

great car and looks especially good in white

That does look great.

I was tempted to buy it but was a little put off about a few things that didn't seem to be mentioned in the advert, but I guess that is how most advertise old cars now!

However, the issues don't seem too bad . Regarding the rear struts make sure that they have a terminal for the rear heated window ; the 944s anyway need gas struts with terminals on the rear since the struts themselves conduct electric to the rear heated window. Without these the heating effect of the rear window will not work, not handy if the wiper motor fails.

Have fun ; I have wanted a 924S for quite some time after owning a couple of 944s.
