Odd and pointless but I find myself strangely drawn to it - Am a sucker for down on their luck cars I guess !

No, on so many different levels.

I don't think they ever made 924 convertibles, so that would have been a standard 924 at some time and had the roof cut off.

So not only does it look a mess, isn't what it appears to be and has no service history, it will probably be a complete disaster to drive.

As the good man said, "No, on so many different levels."

Surely it does not have the 944 / 968 Cabrio double floor... in which case it must have the torsional rigidity of an over-ripe banana!
if it does have the double floor, though I am not sure how you could add it, he would be well advised to say so...

Oh yes I am sure its horrible in many, many ways !

I am well known for my dislike of cabs full stop so I dont like it but fair do's at least they arent asking dreamy money for it so it may appeal to someone who is in to the more ' custom ' car.

Feeling odd today but I like it - it looks ok and he is not pretending about it.
Would like to have a look to see how the job was done.

Is that how Guards Red finally ends up ? []

 

[944 man]

There was a specialist 924 cabriolet available (two suppliers, IIRC), but thats certainly not one of them. Without the triple layer chassis rails itll be like Mr Softs car...

 

[Northern924]

I'd expect that to have originally been a Bieber Borken kit, and wouldn't be surprised if it was built by Pilgrim cars of Plymouth who tend to be responsible for most of the conversions completed in the UK.

I suspect at some later date someone has tried to make it look like a 944 cabby, and failed!!!

 

[idwoodvale]

Anyone hazzard a guess at just how much someone must have shelled out to build that in the first place?

 

[333pg333]

Ha, I love it. The Porsche So-Fa-King...too funny. Wouldn't want a hangover though...
