The little Porsche had its chance on eBay, but the £249 purchase price was apparently too rich for the cash-strapped 924 faithful. I was getting offers down around the £150 to £175 mark for the project car, and lots of the remaining bits were worth keeping for the 944s, so I decided to kill it off.

Though they are extremely pretty cars, I didn’t enjoy driving it, so one less 924 in the world is good news as far as I am concerned. Plus it means one more clean 944 saved, which has got to be a worthy trade.

Here’s a few pics of the car on the way to its last ever (com)pressing engagement.
