944

The Luck of the Irish

August 8, 2008

A few weeks back, I won a 944 Turbo engine on eBay for my 1986 951. The motor was from a crashed Porsche (destroyed in the rear corner) and the car still had the wheels on it. My car has Fuchs which I want to keep when I sell the rest on, so I was on the [...]

DP Cargo – Porsche 944 Estate (911 PW News)

DP Motorsport have announced the final edition of their DP Cargo, a ‘shooting brake’ estate based on the 944. The DP Cargo first appeared in 1988, and fewer than ten cars have been built to date, for those seeking a unique but still very usable style of Porsche. With only eight sets of the bespoke [...]

First a 944, now its little brother!

March 12, 2008

You’ve seen the pics of the trim on that 944 I bought – grim in the extreme. I was obviously going to need to replace the lot and, once again, eBay came to the rescue.  A few days after I got the ’44 back to base, I spotted an ’85 924 Lux with full black pascha [...]
