bear924 Posted 15June, 2019 Report Share Posted 15June, 2019 The interior and exterior look good. Typically the steering wheels are the three spoke ones, MY82 may have changed, it would be worth checking the vin. Worth checking the VIN full stop of course, that will tell you whether it's an original. Engine looks a little tired … suspect all the hoses will need to be replaced, along with a few other things. Least, from what I could see, everything looks original … and the engine is from a later model turbo. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1981-Porsche-924-Turbo-Manual/SSE-AD-5949848?pageSource=details&id=SSE-AD-5949848 This one is a UK import ... it would need to be checked over bodywise for rust .. I have seen other photos of this one and while I think it is an original turbo, I still just can't get my head around the fuel filler cap which is typical of a pre '79 model. The VIN is a 1981 onwards so it truly just doesn't make any sense to me. The steering wheel should be a 3 spoke but I believe this one is typical of a UK car ... BTW ... you are right to want one .. mine is the biggest thrill to drive and it always leaves me wanting to just keep driving ...

bear924 Posted 22June, 2019 Report Share Posted 22June, 2019 My SC was brown with brown interior and I always really liked it. Only challenge is if you need to replace a trim item, more difficult to get a brown piece. Like the condition and look of this turbo. It will be interesting to see if it does sell, if it is indeed '82, then it's more rare then the regular turbos... which may make some parts difficult to source.

I've seen some paperwork on this one and it has an 01/82 production date and an 05/82 sold date. The figures on the net say that the Turbo's were still made in '82 for the US and Japan. This one was sold in the UK so probably one of the last ones allocated outside those 2 countries ... possibly pre-sold so supplied to UK. I wouldn't think that parts would be any harder than an '81 model ... they are both still series 2 and I can't imagine anything changed between the years ...

bear924 Posted 22June, 2019 Report Share Posted 22June, 2019 There were a few changes. I believe there was a change in the engine electronics .. and I think clutch. Not a big change as per S1 vs S2, however a couple of bits and bobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear924 Posted 19February, 2020 Report Share Posted 19February, 2020 The gear lever looks odd to me. Also, the turbo pipe looks like a S1 pipe, except it's a S2. Wonder if it's an early S2 before they changed the turbo pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
