Thanks, It is now outside my house [] needs a few small jobs doing, but I greatly enjoyed the drive home and with the roof down.

Go on Tony, like the postcards - "A side view of my cabriolet in the dark", "A front view of my cabriolet in the dark" etc.

 

[944Turbo]

[] one from the advert - otherwise as Tref pointed out its dark!

 

[Diver944]

In the flesh it's a real looker [8D] and the wheels set it off a treat.

Hope you had a great drive home with the roof down and didn't discover any foibles that are tricky to spot on a simple test drive

Looks great. The standard side-repeaters in amber really set off coloured wheel centers on silver or grey cars, don't change them!

I still think the cab is one of the best-looking of all conversions, including the current Aston line-up.[8|]

Whats the colour of it Tony, Titan Grey?

Titanium, same as his other turbo. []

 

[944Turbo]

I think that Titanium comes up as Titan on some searches so it might be a guards / india thing. Unfortunately the coupe has lost a lot of its shine but will hopefully be restored to its former glory.

Very enjoyable drive home - seat heaters are lovely front shocks seem a little floaty, and castor mounts could probably do with an upgrade. Tyres were all up at 42 so dropped this to 36. With more familarity it is more laggy than my other car with MAF despite the other one having a bigger turbo, not a big problem but noticeable.


As an aside for 944 owners with kids,
Also discovered that a britax prince (9-18kg) car seat fits in the back [] with the roof up [] not sure how well the lap strap works with it, though it is designed to be safe with a lap strap, it might need a slightly different strap to work. The Britax fitment guide says it wont fit in the back of a 944 but will fit in the back of a 968 should fit in the front on both.

Its confusing that a current britax seat is called Prince and the old porsche seat was also a prince (possibly made by britiax), they are nothing like each other.

That is a whole lot nicer than my pit-of-doom all black interior.

 

[TTM]

Not bad, not bad at all! []

Is it me or it's the same spec as the turbo cab featured in Peter Morgan's Original 924/944/968 book?

 

[MarkK]

What a lovely lovely car,can't wait to see it in the flesh!

 

[tref]

You know what? Having seen it in the flesh, (Thanks for bringing it down to Poole Quay tonight - it was a bit of a 944fest wasn't it?!), to answer the original question, 944 or 968 cab, I reckon you made the right choice... much as I like 968s, they always seem a little tatty around the edges... irrespective of the spec on yours (which really works well) it is one very straight, tidy car.
