Before I got my P, I rang him up several times wanting to check out some of their cars.

Maybe their business is too good that they don't give a shit. :thumbsdown:

that's what i thought!!!
looks like i've got to buy some 911 mags.

928 S4 was the final version, mine was guards red, 20years ago!!
the v8 is rather delicate and gear box expensive to re-do...
911 is more reliable

D what are you gonna do about your interior, could do with leather+alcantara
fittings............

i thought that was out in 1989?
i used to have one, well a poster of one on the wall.

i already had the 928 S4 in 1990,auto, very thirsty
but the design is avant garde, 250km at a strike of the gas pedal.....
I had the poster of the F40 out of the 3

928 GTS was the final version which was made between 1992-1995.

Nothing will be done on my interior as it already looks sharp & original. In fact modding classic car requires a different touch compared to comtemporary car. I may get a pair of original Turbo sport seats and that's all (only if I can find them).

have you ever driven a 928?? i only bought it back then because it had a front engine as driving a 911 on the UK's wet roads was rather risky back then, about 15mpg, very thirsty.

yep, classic req no modding, just keeping it original, and concours
brings back memories of my 1975 1303LS karmann beetle convertible,tan interior,
imported from Germany in 1990 to the UK, LHD under German plate SE DU240 and converted to RHD, only had to change the hood in white and innner lining and heat exchangers and repaint in Tornado red, bloody thing started first time, every time.

due to the lack of modding from the torch bearers like jacky, this has turned out to be a 911 and classic car section!!!!
