924 2.0 1977MY in Mars red (without sunroof and lacking most of the options)
924S Le Mans 2.5 1988MY in Black
In addition, my son and I jointly own:
924 2.0 1976MY in Viper Green metallic (LHD base model with no options) - shell resprayed but now needs building back up again.
He also owns:
924 2.0 1982MY in light metallic blue
924S Le Mans 2.5 1988MY in White
I've owned many other 924s over the last fifteen years some of which I regret selling, including 2 (or 3, I can't now recall) Martinis, a 1980 2.0 Le Mans, a 1981 2.0 Weissach (converted to RHD), and three Turbos (2 Series 1 and a Series 2).
The second of the 1977MY cars is due to go to Auto-graph Specialist Cars in Wakefield in the next few days for the work required on its bodywork and some mechanical work after which the S Le Mans will be headed there for final jobs to be done on its bodywork and the odd niggling electrical issue.

I have owned this 1988 Model year 924S since June.
It's an interesting car, the plate is E924 FLB and it was the AFN demonstrator for 1988 being registered in September 1987 with that plate. It has some nice extras, like the Le Mans 1988 limited Edition suspension upgrade of lowered adjustable suspension with larger anti-roll bars which are codes are C48 G55 and G56. It also has split rear seats, and the different rear luggage cover to work with the split in the seats. Original stereo still there and various other nice touches like pinstripe door cards.
I love it and its reliable and fast. What's not to love?

I have a lovely Porsche 924 auto that my father and I took down to Le Mans a couple of years ago. Currently SORN over Winter but will be getting it back on the road as the weather warms up..
Have done a fair bit of work on it since buying it in a bit of a state a few years ago. Most noticeably, fitting a less cracked dash, re-fitting the entire interior and retro-fitting some very comfortable 986 Boxster seats in!

thanks
Yeah that's exactly why I decided to fit them into my 924. My Tombstone seats had given up the ghost and to replace / completely re-upholster them would have been incredibly expensive.russmw said:Welcome along and great looking 924 - I'd be interested to know about your experience of fitting the boxster seats in. At some point in its life mine has a different set of seats fitted which are the wrong colour and Boxster seats in a closer match (Sahara beige) come along on ebay frequently so be good to know how much work is involved in the fitment.
thanks
It wasn't a huge job.. basically just drilled a few holes into the existing runners of the 924 and fitted the 986 ones on top of them, bolting them in place securely. Still got the functionality of the original runners (front and back), although I've not hooked up the electrics of the seats so have fixed them into a comfortable angle. On my to do list and would be pretty cool to have fully functioning electric Boxster seats! I'll take a few pictures when I'm back up next weekend of what I've done.
I believe they are getting a little rare. She has only done 65K from new with a huge pile of history. I have done the usual cam belt
and balance belt along with a few other bits with only a small paint job needed and its done! Hope to Join a Porsche meet real soon.

Welcome to Porsche Transaxles and the first incarnation with the 2.5 Engine is a great choice!

I’m lucky enough to have 3 924, 1980 NA and Le Mans and a 1981 turbo.
The Le Mans is completed (apart from sourcing original radio - any tips?) and on the road but the other two are works in (slow) progress.
