Well, with the snow falling and everybody stuck at home this is an excellent time to think about warm summer trackdays!!!
Richard has booked Castle Combe for one of his classic exclusive trackdays on Friday 25th June!
The cost will be £145 per car. 12 cars on track at any given time, and as anyone who has been on one before will tell you, they are a hoot and you will get as much track time as you need. Castle Combe love to have us there, we love going, its a great day out and because Richard runs it, the event is not full of lunatics in Saxos...
On a (rare) beautiful December morning, six 928 owners headed for Surrey Rolling Road in Chobham. As it turned out, we had a fantastic mix of pretty much every engine configuration that Porsche made for the 928. This was going to be a rare opportunity to compare the power and torque of the different engine versions fitted to 928's.
928.org.uk can now reveal some exclusive 928 figures thanks to the SMMT and our own list member PhilR.
We've obtained archive data that shows the original number of registered UK sales for all 928 models between 1978 and 1996 (thanks to the SMMT - Society of Motor Manufacturers & Tradrers). We've also got hold of the DVLA statistics for all 928's currently registered in the UK (on road and SORN). After a bit of data crunching it makes good reading!
* An fantastic 90% of all UK sold Porsche 928 S4 are still registered (820 of 908)
* Of all UK sold 928's, 52% are still with us
* A respectable 31% of all UK sold Porsche 928 (1978-1982) are still registered
* Manual transmission cars have fared best with 72% surviving (less than 15% or early autos surviving!)
The data has been split into 3 tables as follows:
Original UK registered sales (SMMT)
DVLA registered UK cars (Oct 2009)
DVLA registered imported cars (Oct 2009)
