Default New to the 928 forum

Just a quick post to introduce myself as a new 928 owner. I am a longtime Porsche owner and have really enjoyed the comradery on Rennlist. I look forward to learning and contributing to the 928 forum for years to come.

I acquired this 1981 928 last week and it is in the process of being shipped to me. It is a Canadian Car that was stored for the last 40 years after having covered approximately 15,000 miles in its first 2 years of life. It was recommissioned prior to my purchase and I look forward to meeting it in person in short order.

Cheers,

Ian

Ian,
Wellcome to our little piece of paradise!
It is fantastic that you found an ultra low mile car that is original. They drive sooooo nicely!
Looking forward to many more photos and thanks for introducing yourself!
Dave

That's the canadian car with it's own video thread on YouTube with the wrong timing of the belt!

Very nice car!

Beautiful! Its a blessing to not have to worry about the interior, paint or engine. The small stuff is the fun stuff. And remember the fuel lines! Enjoy!

Welcome aboard Ian- glad you found us here in the shark tank! You got a really good one there. I followed it closely on BaT. Looking forward to seeing how you enjoy it and if it is really as good as it looks!
