‘F80EMR’ originates from the last year of Porsche 924 production and is a desirable 156bhp 924S Le Mans limited edition model. In total, just 74 right-hand drive examples of the Le Mans Edition 924 S were built for the UK market, with this being one of just 37 finished in Black with turquoise Le Mans decals. ‘F80EMR’ has been in its current ownership since June 2015 and has been sparing used with just 1, 100 miles or so covered since 2011. Despite that it has been regularly maintained and is today reported to run “spot on.” ‘F80EMR’ comes complete with lots of informative paperwork, service history and invoices. One of those invoices relates to the brand new interior which explains its pristine condition. ‘F80EMR’ is offered with two sets of wheels, one of which are the originals. A valid, advisory free MOT is in place until August of this year. All in all, a rare 924S Le Mans ready for its next enthusiastic home.
‘F80EMR’ presents in black and features the unique decals of the scarce Le Mans edition. Other signature attributes include the tilting and removable steel sunroof, the “Teledial” alloy wheels and rubber rear boot lid spoiler. The interior of ‘F80EMR’ is reported to be brand new and finished in distinctive black and white pinstriped velour and vinyl. The Le Mans cars, like ‘F80EMR,’ were only produced for the 1988 model year and featured the most powerful version of the 2. 5-litre M44 alloy inline-four engine producing close to 160bhp. This is mated to a five speed manual transmission which is located in the rear of the car in the form of a transaxle. Other Le Mans specific mechanical upgrades include an M030 sport suspension set up, featuring stiffer springs that sit 10mm lower than the standard car. It was also fitted with uprated anti-roll bars for more precise handling. The vendor rates every aspect of ‘F80EMR’ as “good.”
The 924 was conceived as a joint venture between Volkswagen and Porsche and, as such, it started life fitted with the fairly uninspiring VW EA831 2. 0 litre engine mated to a four speed gearbox from the Audi parts bin. In 1984 Volkswagen decided to stop making the EA831 engine and so Porsche substituted a detuned version of the 944’s Porsche designed 2. 5 litre unit to create the 924S. With a special Le Mans version created to commemorate Porsche’s 12th win in the iconic 24 hour race, this is widely considered as “the” 924 to have.
In summary:
· A rare and highly regarded 924S Le Mans model with a sensible original mileage
· Compete with a new interior in pinstriped velour
· Accompanied by a spare set of wheels and a generous paperwork file
