Summary

For sale is a 1981 Porsche 924 Turbo in Platinum Metallic (U1U1) with a brown Pascha interior. The 924 Turbo has 177 PS and is equipped with the 5-speed “Dogleg” manual sports transmission. The odometer reading is 161,300 km, which is largely verifiable based on the existing—though not complete—service record and other documentation. Since it was brought back into service in 2022, numerous parts have been replaced, including the timing belt and fuel tank; a total of approximately 9,000 euros has been invested since then. The last maintenance, including an oil change, took place in March 2026. An invoice for an engine overhaul performed by ETG Eichner in Gießen in 1999 is also available. The Porsche is in well-maintained condition, with parts of the bodywork having been repainted. In 2022, the vehicle was submerged in water up to the sills due to heavy rain that flooded an underground parking garage and was subsequently professionally dried; the only reported consequential damage was a defective starter motor. Since then, the car has been driven more than 5,000 km. The interior is in good condition. The TÜV inspection is valid through May 2028, and the Porsche also has an “H” license plate. With its original engine, the characteristic dogleg transmission, minimalist interior, and extensively documented maintenance history, this 924 Turbo offers an interesting opportunity for enthusiasts of classic Porsches.
