The time has come when I must choose which cars I keep, because I can not possibly maintain 5 cars. I stumbled across the 924 Turbo that I now own, and have just recently finished repairing it to fully road worthy condition, so that car is the obvious choice to keep as I love it's quirkiness and rarity.
I have owned my 944 for 8 years and done nearly all the repairs myself. Most of the major problems affecting these cars have been repaired in my ownership. Asking for £3500 please.
