- Service book, unwarranted 105,000 miles and MOT'd till Feb 2016
Contracted to engineer a flagship sportscar for VW-Audi in the early 1970s, Porsche were only too glad to buy back the design rights when their client ran into financial difficulties. Paying a modest DM 100 million for the privilege, they readily agreed to VW's stipulation that the car be built at the latter's Neckarsulm plant. Suitably reworked, the Harm Lagaay-styled Coupe was unveiled to the world as the Porsche 924 in 1975. Unveiled a decade later, the higher performance 'S' variant utilised the same 2479cc SOHC powerplant as its more expensive 944 sibling. With 150bhp and 144lbft of torque on tap not to mention the benefit of power steering, the 924S was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and 136mph. Only in production for three years, just 16,669 are thought to have been sold worldwide.
Finished in Alpine White with Black pinstripe upholstery, this particular example was reportedly supplied new by Lancaster of Colchester. Riding on 'Teledial' alloy wheels, its specification comprises a factory-fitted electric sunroof, electrically operated windows and five-speed manual transmission. Displaying an unwarranted 105,000 miles to its odometer, 'GIG 9234' is offered for sale with a service book containing numerous stamps and MOT certificate valid into February 2016.
