Scrapped 924's

[Guest]

Paul. Is there any brief record being kept of known scrapped 924's ?

As the years go by and the cars become more 'historic' I suspect previous owners may well contact the club to see if their old cars exist.
Just met a new neighbour at the weekend and in passing he mentioned he had a new 924 once (and recalls having to pay for a broken rear hatch - somewhere around £1000 he reckons !).

According to the service history with mine,my 924 had a replacement hatch from Swinford OPC in 1987 - a whopping 988.27 plus vat!

There is no comprehensive record being kept of 924 that have been scrapped, however I do note in my database when an owner reports a car as written off or dismantled.

I have over 1,500 vehicles on record but this is limited to PCGB members over the years.

There are a couple of resources I use to see if cars are still in circulation but they are very basic.

The main problems are time and resources.

Will add these 'dead' cars to the database, more please.

I got told that the rear hatch on the 924 /44 is the same as one used on some type of Citreon IIRC. Some other car anyway. I'll see if I can find out which one when I see the guy again in late June.

any Driver window switches in those Dead 924s?

or o/s window motors ....

Paul the only thing I can think of that might have had a similar hatch was the Fuego, a car some cheeky sod one mistook my old blue n/a for !![]

For the guy in Nottingham, there are some scrapped 924's at PH Sports Cars, Cavendish Bridge, Shardlow, South Derbyshire. You can get second hand parts for 924's from them Tel. 01332799298. I got my passenger door switch and electric window mechanism replaced here plus other 'bits and bobs'. He also has some very experienced Porsche mechanics (especially on the older cars) if you can't manage to do any jobs yourself. They have got themselves really organised now (after a very disorganised couple of years) so are well worth trying.
