The reason i ask is because i was working on buying a car similar to this from an owner named Samantha.
IIRC the intakes were painted pink/purple as were some other engine components ( not my favorite color)

IIRC it was sold at the bargain price of 6500.00 about a 18 months ago.
It looks like the current owner did put lots of quality time into it regardless, and i would suggest to any lurker that if they are looking for a rocking 5 speed OB style, and one with a sorted worksheet this should definitely be a considered car............ Now about those engine pictures????

That's a really nice Euro S! I find it particularly nice that the owner matched the dash and the door arm rests, which are often overlooked and don't match after the dash is restored. I also like the light grey interior color against the dark blue.

Hope it finds a nice home!

Cosmo thats it!
As far as the owner trying make a few bucks , he looks like he has added value to the car since he owned it.
I would have done the same, and probably ask for more.

EXCEPT I would not have been selling this car, its way to nice

I would ditch the Boxter wheels and add a set of Carrera 5 twist wheels like Chuck Z has except in 17in. versions

Knowing the owner and seeing the car in person I think I can safely say he isn't out looking to make any money on this car. I know he went to great lengths to get the car looking and running great. Anyone looking for a very well sorted 928 would be wise to check out this car.

That red engine above does not look like a euro engine to me. Compare the runners to mine (81 euro S, see pic below), they are smaller diameter. And the driver's side front one is too straight. Also, shouldn't an '85 euro have 2 distributors?

Still, that is a very nice car!

It's definitely an S2 twin dizzy engine with LH Jetronic........
