Something different - 928 GT Clubsport Tribute
Discussion
This 1990 928 GT was converted by the prior owner for use on track. This is how it looked when I purchased it....

The interior was partially stripped out, Momo steering wheel, race seats and harnesses were fitted and a half roll cage added.
The wheels were changed to larger 18” RUF items with uprated 928 GTS front brakes and Leda adjustable dampers and Eibach springs fitted. Cup wing mirrors were added.
The exhaust was changed for a straight through system with X-Pipe.
The sunroof, stereo, rear wiper, rear seats, headlight washers and aircon were had all been deleted to save weight.
The car was run on only a few track days before the seller’s father sadly passed away and the car was put up for sale.
I acquired the car in September 2017. The car was then featured in a 6 page article in Ultimate Porsche magazine in February 2018.
However, I decided that I wanted to go another direction with the car and took inspiration from the 928 S4 SE, Clubsport and Clubsport Prototype cars, particularly the Derek Bell owned prototype which sold at auction in October 2016 for over £200k!!

It didn’t make sense to return the car to standard given the work that had been already done to save weight, so a natural route was to take it the lightweight, less track focussed Clubsport route - the car has had a glass out respray, full interior retrim including bespoke Cobra seats with Pasha trim (a nod to the earlier cars), rebuilt dampers, brakes, new Clubsport wheels and tyres and a ton of other stuff.
THE FINAL RESULT - HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!

Thanks for all the positive comments!
The seats are indeed Cobra Nogaro.
The sunroof delete was done before my ownership.

Definitely a job to be proud of. The seats are indeed Cobra Nogaro.
