Some people like top, but I like the bottom....ahem..

[IMI A]

Love that. Less is more. You could start a new trend hot rodding 928s thats so nice

What are the bucket seats in your 928?

[bruciebonuz]

Ta!

They are Cobra Nogaro with Pasha cloth and no Cobra logo.

[BrotherMouzone]

I love it

[SRT Hellcat]

looks proper now. Lovely

[MDL111]

Very nice - like it

[Richair]

Very nice, liking that a lot. Have many of the go faster parts been kept under the skin, so to speak?

[Doofus]

Looks lovely, Pascha is fantastic.


The car used to look stupid, BTW

[Steve Rance]

What a lovely well judged project.

Fantastic

Love the seats, and whilst I’m not a fan of white, they do look good when sparkly clean. Top job all round by the looks of it!

[bruciebonuz]

Thanks for all the positive comments.

The car was bought as in the top photo and was a nice job, but not to my tastes. I knew of the Derek Bell car and so set out to pay tribute to that one but not copy it.

The car has had the sunroof, aircon, stereo, rear wiper, rear seats, original heavy electric seats, headlight washer and original carpeting all removed.

Engine and transmission is standard but has been rebuilt (by prior owner at Paul Anderson). Dampers are Leda adjustable, again rebuilt. Standard brakes but all new. Being a GT it is manual, has an LSD, shorter shift and a bit more power than an S4.

Clubsport wheels with new Conti tyres. Seats are Cobra Nogaro made to order with the Pasha trim as a nod to the earlier cars. Half roll cage, extinguisher, Willans harnesses. X pipe exhaust....

Its a lot of fun and pretty quick and as nimble as one of these can probably be.

[AW10]

Like it!

And with some limited apology to its creator the original was rather tasteless.

[blade7]

Looks very nice. How did you remove the sunroof?

[WhiteKnight]

Lovely 928

[Trophy Husband]

That is utterly fabulous!! I remember a neighbour of ours had one new, I cannot remember the year and I seem to recall the rear was Kevlar?

Those seats are wonderful but a game of chess must take forever!!

Enjoy!!

Fantastic car and a great job.

I would never grow bored of that interior, even if I live to be 1000!

[sparta6]

Lovely looking thing, good and free of stick on "mods"

Pascha looks fantastic.

Mr Bell's had plain blue interior, quite a difference !
