Sold the '92 Pearlie
As some of you know, I have sold the '92 Pearlie to SVXRIDE - keeping, OF COURSE, the RED '97 (and taking it to READING this year). Decided I wanted a change of pace (no pun) and found a 1988 Porsche 924S. Beautiful shape with ONLY 38K ,miles on it! Here are some photos in the "as bought" condition:

Re: Sold the '92 Pearlie
Harry,
I know that you loved your Pearlie and spared no expence to make it top notch. I also know that you would only sell it to an SVX fanatic. For that I applaud you.

Re: Sold the '92 Pearlie
When THIS pearl came along, I could not resist - only 38K miles on a 1988!
Having the timing belt and water pump (and hoses) changed this week along with flushing the coolant and brake fluid ... should be ready to roll - at autocross and the track ....
