The seller offers for sale a Porsche 924 Turbo Cabriolet from 1981 with a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder petrol engine. This car was converted into a cabriolet by the German coachbuilder Bieber during the 1980s and has remained in Italy since new. It is ASI certified and officially registered as a historic vehicle, allowing regular road use. The car has been owned by the same family for around twenty years and was mainly used for leisure and holiday trips. Over this period it has been carefully maintained and driven on a regular basis. The clutch has been renewed, the injection system and turbo have been revised, and the gearbox bushings have been refreshed to improve shift precision. The paintwork was restored in 2010 in its original colour, and the interior is described as well preserved with no damage noted. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The current mileage is 69.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The soft top is included with the car. It shows signs of normal use but remains functional, and the roof mechanism operates smoothly and quietly without stiffness or misalignment.
The Porsche 924 Turbo represents an important milestone in Porsche history, introducing the brand’s transaxle concept with a front-mounted engine and rear transaxle for balanced handling. Designed as a more accessible Porsche, the 924 combined everyday usability with a sporty character. The turbocharged version added sharper performance and a more distinctive driving experience, making it one of the more engaging variants of the model range. Today, the 924 Turbo is appreciated for its balance, lightweight feel and unmistakable 1980s design. Cabriolet conversions such as this example are especially appealing due to their rarity and unique character, offering open-top driving while retaining the dynamic qualities that define the 924.
