Hi All - I hope someone can help. I understand the 924 turbo comes in two different guises - the original and then in 1981 a "series two" model with Siemans-Hartwig digital ignition system with better breathing. My car, which I have been restoring for sometime, I am unsure which model it is.

Details of my car are - Chassis number is 93 Z BN 100273 Engine number is 31030310. It has white instrutments - a 3 column steering wheel and side peater lights on the front mud guards.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

also as an aside what is the best method to get a turbo off the line quickly?

Thanks - John H

Series 2 cars came with white instruments and peater lights. Also your vin code tells it is a 1981 model.

Yes you have an early S2 - probably built in December 1980 or very early 1981. It is the 273rd S2 body built for the 1981 model year. The three spoke steering wheel is off a 930, and was used for ROW RHD S2 932 cars as well. (Maybe in other markets too...not sure)
I assume you mean white markings on a black face? White face dials are an aftermarket transfer or overlay.

Thank you Gentlemen - I really appreciate your help. I am glad it is a S2. Will make the last 2 years hard work more worthwhile - and also probably the next 3 years as well.

Thanks again

with this sérial number it's a S2, sure.
mine was few numbers before and was sold, as a new car, in the beginning of october 1980 (build in september i suppose).

If you have a round rather than oval throttle body, this indicates, as least as car left the factory, an S2.
