The seller offers for sale this 1980 Porsche 924 Le Mans, powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and a manual transmission. The car remained registered until 2002 and then stood still until 2025, after which it was recommissioned. The engine showed compression loss on one cylinder, prompting a full rebuild in which all four cylinders were replaced. The car starts well, produces no smoke when warm and runs without unusual engine or gearbox noises. The paintwork has become dull over time and shows minor damage in some areas. The interior carries noticeable signs of use; the steering wheel and gear knob have been reupholstered, while the front seats need complete restoration. The body is rust-free, the lights function correctly and the car holds a valid inspection. According to the seller, the 924 has not been involved in accidents and has no structural damage.
The Porsche 924 Le Mans is a special edition of the 924 range, created to celebrate Porsche’s motorsport successes. Known for its balanced weight distribution, accessible handling and distinctive styling, the 924 remains an appealing entry point into the Porsche world. Its lightweight construction and transaxle layout contribute to an engaging driving experience, while the Le Mans edition adds collectible appeal through its limited production features. Over the years, the 924 has gained greater recognition for its role in expanding Porsche’s lineup and attracting new enthusiasts. Well-preserved or mechanically refreshed examples tend to offer rewarding ownership, with simplicity and reliability as key strengths. This 1980 Le Mans edition, benefiting from recent engine work, presents a solid basis for further improvement while already running and driving as it should.

Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.

Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
