1984, manual, N/A, black/black, 121k miles, well-known to the 924 Owners Forum, original service book, CoA, receipts back to 1988, Sports Seats, reconditioned gearbox, suspension refresh, etc.

Drove it back from Dorset to West Cornwall on Saturday and it didn't miss a beat. Handles very nicely thanks to the even weight distribution. Popped the (huge) sunroof, cranked up the De La Soul cassette and headed west!

Lovely

Im also in Cornwall and it never ceases to amaze me how many lovely cars there are tucked away down here.

Very nice!

Would you mind me asking where/how you look for cars in Portugal?


I'm hoping to go on some adventures looking for interesting cars to buy, and Portugal would certainly be on the list of places to go!

Would be. I would recommend doing it in the next year as being in the single market makes importing weird and wonderful things from Europe and absolute piece of piss. I bought a car from Sweden a few years back and it was just a case of MOTing and registering it.

There's a guy in Portugal with a few adverts on C&C. The cars are close to an airport and some of them are quite reasonably priced and looking to be in good nick.

Not sure if this qualifies yet. 325i, manual having had two previous owners, 43k and totally rust free (honest!).

These are on my list as one of the best looking cars ever made. My friends auntie had one when I was about 6/7 and ever since then I've loved the look of them. Never driven one and, with prices creeping skyward again, probably never will.

Very nice. I ran a 1992 944 S2 many years ago, wish I kept it. Would be worth twice what I sold it for back in 2009.

I run a 1989 G reg 944 2.7 as a daily and it's great fun. And costs me next to nothing. You'll have great fun with the 924 - they are lovely cars.

More pedantry ,he's misdescribed the 325i touring as a 325ti ,which is a Compact.....

Agreed ,nice selection of cars there.

There is both an E30 325i Touring and a 325Ti Compact listed.

I'm more intrigued by the E30 320is which I've never seen in real life and forgot existed. We got a 318is in the UK but the 320is is a mini M3 Italian market only car if I remember rightly, with the 2.0 version of the M3's 2.3 four. Different entirely to the 6cyl 2.0 320i. Very rare.
