Porsche's 924 is a gorgeous piece of 1970s automotive art, echoing the evolution from 1960s curves towards the boxy looks of the 1980s. This isn't a fire breathing hot rod that requires you to adapt to its quirks and habits; instead it is a solidly reliable everyday sports coupe with remarkable versatility. Using many contemporary VW Golf parts with an underlying Porsche design philosophy, the 924 was powered by a mild mannered 2-litre, overhead camshaft engine of Audi heritage. The car's 2+2 packaging is clever, with an almost ideal 53/47 weight distribution, delivering extremely balanced handling. The later 924S offered the attractive 'narrow' body with the 944's more powerful 2.5-litre, all alloy overhead cam engine, plus most of the 944's improved interior, brakes and suspension. The M44 engine's ultra smooth power delivery and 150/160bhp transformed the driving enjoyment and mark this model out as the range's best for everyday use.

Finished in Alpine White, this excellent example had a full interior retrim prior to our vendor purchasing it in late 2021. A Dansk exhaust was fitted prior to his ownership as well. Replacement master and slave cylinders were fitted in 2023 and a new battery fitted in late 2025. Today, the pinstripe velour remains in great order - another point to note is the dashboard, which is intact unlike many others on the market. The exterior presents well, with two rear tyres fitted within the last year. Our vendor fitted a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, which has significantly improved the car's capability but interested parties should note that the original wheel is supplied with the car. Throughout his ownership, our vendor has taken the car to France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as many motoring highlights in the UK, including displaying the car at the 2025 Hampton Court Concours of Elegance. Supplied with a current MoT test certificate and importantly it will be ULEZ-compliant from January 2027. Overall, this is an excellent entry-level sportscar; classic, capable and comfortable which surely should not to be missed. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
