Magnus Walker's 924 CGT - from Sydney

[Dreamr]

Just came across this on another forum ... purchased from here and now owned by the bearded charmer ...

See @turboT .... cars go both ways ..

Yeah, he's had it for about 18 months now, maybe a touch longer. I didn't know it came via Aus though.

  A lot of cars are now heading overseas. I know of 2 911's that went this month to the UK.

 Wonder what Magnus is driving from Perth to Brisbane soon?

I can't be 100% sure but I think it came from my area of the NSW Central Coast ... I seem to remember that there was a silver 924 CGT ex Japan living 2 suburbs from me ....

It went really cheap ... well, by today's standards anyway. Hindsight is a wonderful thing ....

Unloved outlaw? I doubt there would be any Porsche enthusiast that would not want one in his/her garage.

I would put that back to original. Sorry Magnus but that looks hideous (that is just my opinion. Others, including Magnus would love it).

I remember when they first came out (I had a 924 at the time) and I could only dream of having one,way beyond my income capacity at the time though?.

Its a bit rich to say the 924 Carrera GT is unloved.  They have been sought after for a while, I remember reading about Derek Bell's car a number of years ago.

Personally I agree regarding the looks from my perspective, however I quite like the fact that he has made the 924 he wants and doesn't follow anyone else's trends

saw this two years ago when I went to test drive my turbo. Looked good in the flesh. I still dont get it when he says he wants one of every Porsche? Why?

  Good basis for a 3.8 transplant I spose ??

Small appendage?

Those cars could all be with someone who can love em and drive em.

Get over yourself magnanimous

[Gsaps]

And they should empty all the car museums and give the cars to people who’ll drive them !! 

he’s in a fortunate position (achieved through his own hard work) to be able to have these cars, people opinions of him are too often driven by jealousy.

Just bought myself a Carrera GT, it's sailing here on the ship now.  Magnus's video was a big inspiration!

[tazzieman]

Champion! You won't regret that purchase!

Bought my 924 Turbo with plans of turning it into a Carrera GT clone  .. that is now never going to happen.

A bucket list car for sure! That looks stunning ...  Enjoy!

Thanks, looks better in the photo than it really is, but it's an original car that will clean up well.

No I wouldn't mess with a 924 Turbo now, it will be worth more in the long run if left original.

this be my homage 

 

  

But am looking for a turbo motor box exhaust and other doo dads to put in this
