Lot details
Registration No: SVM274W
Chassis No: WP0ZZZ93BN700415
Mot Expiry: Aug 2016
Introduced at the September 1979 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Porsche 924 Carrera GT was built as a limited run of 406 homologation specials (331 LHD, 75 RHD). Designed as the basis for a successful Group 4 racer / rally car, it utilised the same basic two-door bodyshell as the standard 924 albeit adorned with various mouldings (front valance, front wings, rear wheelarch extensions etc). Running 0.75bar boost, an 8.5:1 compression ratio and large intercooler, the turbocharged 1984cc SOHC four-cylinder engine was quoted as developing 210bhp and 203lbft of torque. Priced at just £19,210.75, the model's UK allocation sold out in next to no time. This RHD example is finished in black with black / red pinstripe interior, the vendor advises the vehicle comes with evidence of an engine overhaul in 1989, 14 expired MoT certificates, various service sheets and invoices (including a retrim of the front seats in 2016 and the fitment of a reconditioned turbo). Accompanied by an MoT to August 2016, it is described as having "very good" bodywork and paintwork with "excellent" engine, transmission and interior.
