1981 Porsche 924 Turbo
***NO RESERVE*** Same owner for nearly 40 years

Registration – OIA 949

Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ93ZBN100673

M.O.T. – Expired

Odometer – 111,988

Offered with No Reserve and increasingly hard to find in any form, let alone in this level of condition and provenance, this 1981 Porsche 924 Turbo is a rare right-hand-drive example of the marque’s highly respected transaxle performance coupe. With fewer than 400 units believed to have been delivered new to the UK, survivors like ‘OIA 949’ are becoming extremely sought-after among collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This particular example has remained in the same family ownership since 1987, and the vendor informs us it has been meticulously cared for throughout that time — indeed, considered very much “part of the family.” Finished in the desirable Grand Prix White over black leather interior, the car presents superbly, having benefitted from a full, high-quality respray. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with original under-bonnet factory stickers still intact, and the alloy wheels stripped and powder-coated to the correct finish.

Mechanically, the car has been maintained by respected Porsche specialists, with an impressive history file spanning several decades. Recent work includes a full overhaul of the ignition system, and the car is said to drive as it should, offering a rewarding blend of turbocharged performance and classic Porsche engineering.

In summary:

- Just 400 believed delivered new to the UK in RHD format

- Long-term family ownership since 1987

- Grand Prix White over black leather interior

- Maintained by Porsche specialists with a comprehensive history file

- Offered with no reserve
