Porsche restoration of Walter Rohrl's winning 924 GTS

Never been a fan. Always seemed to be a miserable git, and completely biased for whoever was paying his wages.

no idea, never met the chap but I have been at national events with Derek Bell speaking, he'll tell you just how good the transaxle cars are.... think he may still have his 924 GTS?
 
Yes, Derek Bell still has his GTS as far as I know - given to him by Porsche many years ago [8D]

Well, obviously I like 944 turbos, but what else would you expect Derek Bell to say in that situation?
 
Thanks for that!! Briilliant, nevertheless...proved that as elsewhere Porsche could build something for a particular type of event and get good results.

Well, considering the company at the speech and how the 944 series meant little to most of them, I think Derek says it how it truly is...:)
 
Nevermind the car, whenever I hear this accent I can't help thinking about some infamous Austrian villain.
 
Derek Bell still has his immaculate 924. Well he did in 2016 when he was at Glasgow OPC classic launch, with his car, and giving a chat on stage. Plate is 483 BEL, red, black coach line, with black stone guards on stunning Fuchs. I have pictures. Mine was on display also.

Great cars, I owned a 924GTS and it was quite a thing.
Unfortunately it hadn't been driven for years so every drive in my ownership was a test-drive !!
