Strange -- the car in the photo is an '86, isn't it?

It sure looks like it. The deep dish phones give it away.

Nevertheless, nice score Cory!

Yes! nice!

I have one of those that CAME with my 924S... The other day, my dad comes in and hands me a factory sales brochure on the 1988 4 series (as they called it)

It's kind of amusing...it was talking about how well the oil passages are in the engine so the crankshaft gets lubrication during high speed cornering... Aparently, this is long before the "spun bearings" started showing up

The Euro models had no side turn signals. They did have a small sidemarker light just ahead of the doors though.
