Some good points Patch, I used to get a lot of people come over to me at Petrol stations to admire the 944, telling me that they had a poster of it in red.

The 968 not so much, it was either guys asking me what it was (it was de-badged)or guys telling me that they have/had one, although there was a lovely young Blonde girl standing next to it once when I came out of the station, she was very complimentary.... smile

In their day they were faster and more expensive than the 911SC, and a 50% premium over the NA 944
The prices in '88 were something like:
NA 944: £22,000
911 SC: £32,000
944 turbo: £33,000

I am sure that the 928 was then a hefty premium on top of that!
The 944 Turbo 951 was first produced in 1985 so the 911 equivalent would be the 911 Carrera 3.2 and not the 911 SC 3.0 (1978/83) (just for clarity, not nit picking)
