Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hello my name is Chris, I live near to Loughborough and have a collection of 924's.

I am in another club, but it looks like there is a lot more going on locally with TIPEC. The 'other club' said you were more a club for newer cars, I hope your not

People might be interested in the 924 Cabriolet as there are are not many (if any) left in the UK.
I have just picked up a lovely red 924 N/A, but it needs a cylinder head gasket doing, lets hope for some sunny w/e's

Mines 22 so just nicely run in!

It's difficult to write these introductions without it sounding like you are at Alcoholics Annonymus

Hi Chris -

Firstly, welcome to the forum.

Abbott's Oak?? Where's dat den? I'm in Loughborough and am the RO for the East Midlands region.
We are certainly not "for newer cars" as was suggested - we more than welcome anyone who has a passion for Porsche's, hell you don't even have to own one!

Feel free to pop along to our club night (third Tuesday of the month - next one 21st October) at The Fieldhead Hotel, Markfield.

Also, keep checking back to the TIPEC main page as I try to keep it up to date with details of what's on (http://www.tipec.net/region_eastmidlands.php). We are however heading into "the quieter months" as the nights draw in.

Hope to see you and your 924's soon.

I'm halfway between Shepshed and Coalville, although I work at Loughborough Hospital

Hi & welcome

Oh OK. I live almost opposite the Hospital on the Garendon estate.

I hope to meet up with some of you soon

Thanks for the warm welcome

Chris

Am I wrong or were the 924 cabs an aftermarket thing? I just dont recall it being mentioned in any of the porsche history books? Awesome thing to have still

Correct, several coach builders did them in Germany & the Netherlands & they also did the 944 Lux before Porsche did the Cab on the S2.
One of the guys on Titanic is rebuilding one.Most of the S2 upgrades on mine came from a 1984 cab conversion in Reading that was running on predominately S2 running gear.

hello and welcome, newer cars eh ? mines 20, as for the 924 cab only ever seen one in the flesh and that was a few years ago now, so it would be nice to see yours sometime

Yep it's a bit rare!

It was converted 20 years ago from a German kit and called Bieber Borken. The car at the time was 3yrs old and had done 20K, conversion was by Pilgrim cars of Plymouth,who now make Kit cars.

Sorry it is about to be put away for the winter as 20 yr old cars are not that water proof

Some better pics would be good, even better would be an article for AT!

I have put some pics in 924 section for those that are interested

Chris

Welcome!

As Jim said above, Tref (PCGB Dorset Regional Organiser) is restoring a 924 cab - I'm sure he'd love to get in contact with you.
