The Porsche 924 was a design commission undertaken by Porsche for VW/Audi that was abandoned by the client and sold back to Porsche late in development with Audi agreeing to build the car at its Neckarsulm plant. A two-door, 2+2 coupé, the 924 replaced the 914 as the company's entry-level model and effectively retired the 912. It was the first Porsche to be powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted engine to make production easier - this front-engine, rear wheel drive arrangement was normal for most other manufacturers but unusual for Porsche having previously only used mid- or rear-mounted engines of a boxer configuration, all of which had been air-cooled.
The 924 was a success and brought in much needed cash after the company hit trouble following the 1970’s oil crisis. Approximately 125,000 924’s were sold between 1976 and 1985.
The fastidious vendor of this Porsche 924 has been the custodian since March 2004 and has enjoyed trouble free ownership during that time. Always garaged and never used in inclement weather, this 924 is finished in white with beige trim. As an entry level Porsche, 924’s can often suffer with lack of investment; however, this car has been restored to a high standard and can be enjoyed immediately. Supplied with a V5 registration document and a current MoT test certificate, this is a fine example of the marque and priced realistically.
