One of my mates was dropped off at school by his dad in a 924 Turbo back in the day. I was jealous as hell as my dad had a Renault 14 at the time! Lovely car and a very knowledgeable owner, great video 👍

The 924 saved Porsche. For us enthusiasts, it provided an excellent driving experience, it's balance, handling, aerodynamics, spirited acceleration, mpg etc. It wore tires evenly, was cheap to maintain. Without the 924, Porsche would have been sold. I have owned four and I will own another. Good video!

The cylinder head is all Porsche and the block has an incredible history. Started off as a Mercedes then Horch, Wanderer, Auto Union, AMC,Audi, VW. It's been EVERYWHERE. The bottom end is almost indestructible

Another car that I wanted in the 1980's however I met a lovely women in 1980 fell in love, married in 1982 a bought a house and my dream of buying the 924 went. I had a Mk2 Ford Escort 1.3GL which I loved, I then bought, a Ford Capri 1.6 in red with a black by vinyl roof. I look back and think why didn't I keep them, My dream car was the 928 until I looked at the price. Great video and so far you have driven 2 cars I always wanted. My first car should have been the Alfasud but as a newly qualified driver in the late 1970's I could only drive a group 3 insurance and the Alfa was Group 4, hence the Ford Escort. I always did want the Ford Sierra Saphire Cosworth. Keep making these videos 👍

Would you be interested in reviewing an almost showroom condition Saab 9000 Aero 2.3T ?. I have one that has been through a restoration and is in amazing condition. Inside is like brand new. Full suspension renewal. All shocks, springs, 23 bushes, balljoints, you name it. Drives super tight. Best bit, 70 to 100 in 3.5 seconds. Its brutal.

Nice to see a great example of one of these. My mum had one, every morning we were four-up in the 924 going to school, even managed to squeeze two mountain bikes in the back with the seats folded down.... We sold it 15 years ago, 195k miles on it for less than £500, still going strong and looking great. They still have a 944 S2 which I'm sure you could drive for the channel, the only "downside" is that it is in the south of France.....

Hello Ped man,while im still at school {left in 84} my late father drove a nine twenty four,black with the sooooo cool black and white pasha {i think thats right?} trim.This as far as the insurance people where concerned ok to live outside on the drive,however next up was his 911 which had tobe away of a night.My bedroom was over the garage,believe me i can still hear the garage door open,the unique click of the door being popped open followed by the wine of a flat six fan.My Mum still lives in our family home all alone as my sister and i long gone,i go in the garage from time to time,theres evidence on the inner brickwork of where i hung Fizi bits to spray ! I owned a 968 sport in red back in the day for a while which the last take on transaxel before the Boxster came out.My fav has all ways been the Cerrera GT ,mr Bell still has his which was gifted to him for his efforts on the track,thank you.

Galvanised bodywork. Built to last. That was somewhat revolutionary in an era when mainstream cars (pile-em high, sell-em cheap) were plagued with rust. It is refreshing to see such a nice example, complimenting the delicacy of style and elegance so missing from current-day in-yer-face brutal and aggressive grills and everything else, big wheels, fussy detailing, bells and whistles - design that apparently people want these days. The 944 (rather than 924) was dubbed “The thinking man’s Porsche” if I remember this correctly. Whether that was general, or just a tag applied by a motoring magazine at the time (either The Motor, or Autocar) I cannot remember.

i have owned a cheap 2nd hand 924 with the audi 2.0 liter engine. It was in 1992 or1993 and owning a Porsche (any Porsche) was giving the owner a god-like status. Loved the way it shifted, the riding position with straight legs and how good it was in terms of reliability. it was the first car i owned that felt great driving and it took 30 years to have the same feeling again in another Porsche. Seems that Porsche cars have a feel of their own and i have owned lots of cars and never felt happy while driving them.... BTW great review, thank you!

I loved this episode...why you say?? well in 1984 I was a Senior in High School and wanted to take my GF to the Prom. In the days leading up to Prom I had to listen to my friend who bragged about taking his uncles Corvette. At the time I didn't own a car and had to borrow my fathers Z24 which I thought was pretty cool but I agree it was no Corvette. When I went over to my fathers house to introduce my date he threw the keys of the 1977 1/2 Porsche 924 to me and said to switch cars!!! Porsche in those days to us kids was the best of the best. We all had posters of Porsche's on our walls in our bedrooms. I knew my father had one but would never ask or even dream that he would let me take it. I drove up to the Prom in the Porsche and my buddies almost we their pants. I love that car!!! Thank you for letting me relive that special time.

I recently inherited my father-in-laws 1983 944 5-speed. It is mint. Underpowered by todays standards, but it is a thrill to drive, and I get many comments. The biggest issue was finding a Porsche repair shop that even wanted to touch it, as they only deal with 911 and new Porsches.

I had a 78 924 that was bright yellow. Picked it out in a parking lot taking off from the airport. It had brown leather interior. My cigarette lighter was broken and wanted it for my radar detector. Went to Porsche dealership and would be $65. The guy in parts told me to go to auto parts store and buy a VW one. I did for $12. Kind of miss that car. Loved the pop up headlights. Fun car to drive.

It was closing the door that clinched it , the clunk , a solid sound , other cars just went click. only the 248 maybe slightly more stylish but give me another 924 please. Pure beauty. Huge legroom. heavy steering, you feel the road. I want another.

Always loved the the Porsche 924, although the statement “this car saved the company” now wearing a little thin. If so, then the 924, then the Boxster, and the Cayenne all have “saved the company”. Now given the timeline spans the late 1970’s, 1980’s, mid 1990’s and then mid 2000’s it sort of implies that Porsche is a badly run company 🧐. Let’s be straight it’s part of VAG irrespective of whom owns whose shares because of the strange relationship between the Piech and Porsche families. Mega profit comes from the Cayenne and big profits from the 911. As a died in the wool Porsche owner I don’t really care where the R&D and base engineering is done for wheel hubs, switch gear and electrics... it’s the Porsche “fairy dust” spread over its chassis and engines that create some of the best sports cars in the world 🤓

I loved my 924 in red (or pink after the sun had got to it) with chequered seat inserts. No power steering is a challenge parking. Removable roof which sat in the original roof bag perfectly in the boot. Handling was fun with near 50/50 weight with the rear mounted gearbox. Brakes needed both feet when being driven with spirit. Ended up with rotten sills unfortunately and sold on ebay to be stripped down to make a track car.

Hi that was a great video on this very nice 924. You say you don’t see them very much well watch or take part in any of the HERO events where you’re almost certain to see one. They are popular because they are good to drive have space to carry the equipment needed for historic rallies handle well with reasonable performance. At present they’re also inexpensive but the prices are beginning to go up but they’re certainly a great way to get a car with a good name to enter the classic car world. Well done and thank you to the owner.

It was good to hear about the story/history behind the car and not just the usual performance figures. Classics are always good to see, if you can get access to any others would be good viewing. Excellent review PP and was good to hear from the owner about issues he has had with it, and that its not all sunshine and roses 👍😊😊

I’ve owned 924’s since my early 20’s.... (I’m 58 now!) sold my last one, an 85 924 lux two years ago when I acquired a 987 Cayman. Although I still own a 1992 968 Porsche, so I still luv the trans-axle porkers.... That looked a tidy example, had the wrong rubber spoiler on it, and were you running on fumes?? As the low petrol light was on all through the video! Good to see one still being used as a daily, like my 968...214k miles and counting....

Ermy Yes a flaw with the early 924, only really sorted it by the 83/84 model years, the earlier cars could all benefit from having a wire fitted to a switch, which would allow you to bypass the '5th' injector (cold start valve) and shoot neat fuel into the intake whilst trying to start a hot engine, worked a treat!. And avoided the embarrassing constant churning of a non starting engine......

That's a beautiful car. One I would of dreamed of in my high school days. Love the Audi and this one love all the 80's tech that was so cool back then. The only other porch I would love to see here is the little 2 seater(looks similar to a MG). Not sure if the number. Lovely car

Yeah the 928 is gorgeous but very, very and very again thirsty. I could probably buy and insure one but i’m not sure I could afford the fuel! And you can’t just look at it, you’ve got to gun it!!

@@PetrolPed It certainly did and there was much dismay about it being front engined as opposed to a "proper" porche which should only have the oily noisey bit at the back. Being a teenager and newly qualified driver at the time, I would have loved to have driven one ( had a mini 850 at the time) but sadly never did.

Awesome looking car, well cared for and some fantastic original features. Unfortunately the key wasn't period correct. The original keys were similar rounded head (full black) but with the porsche logo! The glovebox key eas a small silver key with a large rounded head. (Very rare item)! My 1982 Lux retained hers!
