Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi all

Finally buying a house and something has to give so sadly it will be my Porsche. I have owned her since 2009 and had many ups and downs with her! She has covered 150k miles and is a 1987 Turbo in Guards Red. I have used her to commute in and also she has done two track days and two trips to the Ring on all of which she behaved excellently.

The body work is fair for the age and polishes up however there are marks here and there and a couple of small dents. She is not perfect but is a good honest car with a lot of work done to her including:

recent Water Pump and Belts and Tensioners

Recent Koni Adjustable Sport Shocks all round

Roll Centre UK Rear Roll Bar fitted by Fusion Motorsport

Emerald K3 ECU running everything including boost control, MAP Sensor etc. There is a high and low boost button in the car as I was using her to commute. Also possible to have three utterly seperate maps on a dial switch which is installed although the maps aren't set up. There is a lot of potential to release with this set up should someone want to.

Recent rear CV Boots installed and joints re greased

Recent front discs and pads

New windscreen last year

Leather Seats (rears removed for the roll bar), there are the usual cracks in the dash board sadly.

Teardrop mirrors

Cup Wheels (17 inches, rear tyres now a bit low)

MOT un til January and currently taxed if it goes shortly ( I will need to sorn otherwise)

The sills were welded for the last MOT but they are not pretty and the front lower wheel arches need attention. It was on my list to do this year but that has been put aside now, I have factored this in to the price of the car though.

I have a folder of horridly expensive receiepts for her.

Also installed is a DAB radio with proper aerial that can stay with the car assuming the price isnt too low!

To allow for the sills to be done by someone I am looking for £2000 from a member of TIPEC - I would rather she went to someone who will take her on and carry on enjoying her that duke it out on eBay!

Please ask any questions on andy.cowman@gmail.com

Couple of photos below:

Quite interested in this Andy - I'll send you an email.

Thanks for the info Andy - realistically, now noting our respective locations, I won't be able to pursue my interest in a timely manner. Shame, seems like a great buy at the advertised price with some nice upgrades. I'll watch the thread develop but GLWTS.

Pm sent thanks

Andy. Very keen on this and in Wilts (at weekends anyway).

I will PM you now.

As usual I am terrible at adverts, the car is in corsham Wiltshire!

Thanks

Andy

Sounds like you're giving it away at that price with the parts on it.

It feels like it!!

She isn't perfect but I used her daily for well over a year to get to work!

Problem is I am well aware that you never get the money you put in back and I really would rather sell it to someone here who will take her on and enjoy her.
So the price reflects that really and will hopefully mean someone will buy her!

I need to get more photos - hopefully this evening if I get back from work in time.

Cheers all

Shame you're having to sell Andy but needs must when property come calling.
Hopefully you'll have more luck than me!

Thanks David - I saw yours up for sale. Can't believe its not been snapped up as its a lovely car! I hope someone comes along for yours.

I am sure I will end up back in a performance car at some point!

Hi Andy

This looks like a giveaway to me - Good luck with the sale, if you still have the car following the above enquiries please let me know and I will drive down and (hopefully) buy it!

(I narrowly missed the last 'cheap' Turbo on here earlier in the year and have been looking for a Tipec 944 Turbo for the right money ever since)

Cheers,

I hope so but I've seen cars like yours bought on the pretence of restoration, a short time later they're on PH or fleabay for £1-2k more .

That would make me quite sad really, still people seem interested which is at least something.

There will be more photos but I was late escaping last night so pitch dark when I got back. Will try again tonight.

I also remembered that the along with the Emerald K3 ECU the car also has an AEM Wideband o2 gauge installed!

Hi all

Some (rubbish phone) photos. Afraid these were pre washing but if I waited any longer it would be dark!

I did find one of the front light lenses in the bumper has been hit by a stone and smashed which is a shame. I am mentioning it now as I know I just haven't got time to source another one so please be aware of that.

As mentioned she is not perfect but equally that is reflected in the price. Anyway if any one is interested please let me know. Something appears to be up with my email so if you PM me then I will know you have sent a message

Thanks

Andy

Sorry again - these look terrible!
