I bought this back in January to replace a 924 as my daily driver. A 500 mile round trip later and it was on my driveway, surprisingly tidy, very original and reasonably low mileage at 82k for my limited budget.

Now we've finally got some good weather its the perfect opportunity to get some pics while its fairly clean.

Looks neat. Never seen one of these models in the flesh - it's quite a striking colour, but I like it. I would recommend lowering it slightly on Eibach springs - made a world of difference to my cab - mainly in the handling, but it looks better too.

thanks for the comments guys.

Pete, I'm going to keep it standard for the time being as it drives nice and tight, besides the sump as standard is pretty low and I live in rural Norfolk where the roads aren't exactly smooth.

There's a few bits of minor tidying that I had intend to do starting with the seats, but the kids aren't feeling the love for the car with the roof down as the rear seats are a bit draughty so I'm seriously considering selling it and trying a baur.
