Im not fully up on 928 but maybe he wants a earlier one because he prefers the earlier models. Maybe certain trims levels/interiors were available on pre-87 models?
There's a lot to say for getting a pre-87 928. The earliest ones qualify for classic tax and have a non-interference engine, but are a bit underpowered. The later pre-87 ones have about the same poke as the later ones but without the more tricky electronics of the 32V engine. Also the '87 onwards S4 looks a lot more modern, something a classic car enthusiast might not want
But you missed the crucial point in link in the OP: he wants an originally Irish reg. There could only be very few of them left, if any and they will be extremely expensive compared to a same condition UK import. That's why gyppo wonders why someone would want one (unless I'm completely mistaken

A few of my cars are on that list aswell. I think John just took a note of the reg of interesting cars that he spotted about the place with a particular interest paid to those with an old Irish reg.0 -

Really dont know....
It has been suggested that certain un-scrupulous people will buy an Irish registered car and switch the identity to another car of the same type ,and will probably tell everyone that he restored it himself...:rolleyes:...also he gets a whole car (if its original irish it'll probably be past restoring anyways) for parts and it avoids having to pay VRT...which on something like the Porsche i guess it would be considerable....is it any wonder poor Mr.Cowan is up the creek....:p0 -

Sure all the 944/928/968`s are just all 924 derivatives in any case
Sure and half of them have VW engines and the other half have half Porsche engines, except one Lotus Elan turbo for sale:

It was originally an Audi engine - and in fact only the block. Everything else was Porsche.Nah the half-V8 is Porsche.
