the later 928's are really cool

but gotta change the steering wheel, go to the Momo website and see if you can find a nice replacement

The things I'm thinking having done are maybe a rear muffler bypass, possibly some Turbo II wheels. A few things need fixing first, should all be straight forward

I maybe young.....but....I can't think of anything beyond wanting to keep the car completely stock and authentic

maybe a more modern porsche steering wheel would suffice?

good looking car, neighbour used to have a black one when i was young, infatuated with the headlight motion; needs a new drivers seat by evidence presented though

Possibly mate, but part of the fun of these cars is the retro interiors with bizarre colour combos wobble

What a beautiful car, I think the 928s are possibly the best looking cars ever. I drove a black GTS a while back and they are quite nice to drive too and looks stunning in dark colours.

thumbup I have had a couple, a nice early S1 in white and a later S4. Both were autos and well suited to that nutty engine that pulls like a truck but revs like a motorcycle. A very underated car IMO and I got a lot of stick about it not being air-cooled but hey it can hang with the best of them hehe

DO keep the cooling system tip top. I would replace the water pump when you do the cambelt at any given oportunity as well as any suspect looking hoses. Mine threw a hose on the motorway and by the time I had noticed, it had overheated and cooked the engine. The car was taken to a well known main dealer on the M4 into London, and resulted in a £5k top end rebuild. This was by comparison to yours, an early car and not worth the cost of the rebuild but was a labour of love. I lost big time when I sold that car but would wager that I had more than enough fun out of it bang for buck.

Also had my rear window smashed resulting on a two-week wait from Autoglass as they didn't have any in the UK with the right colour tint, so it had to come from Stutgart.. £900 but covered on insurance so not so bad.

I keep watching the late S4GT's and the prices are varied - some are starting around the £12k mark, ranging up to the £20k mark for a late manual which is the best spec IMO. Mileage seems to be the cncerning factor but with full history those engines are good for star-ship meleage.

As the early ones have a propensity to not be looked after properly, they are starting to get thin on the ground which is good if you own one that has been looked after. I will definately be looking for another one when the opportunity presents itself.

Lovely looking car btw and I hope it gives you as much pleasure as mine did biggrin
