But 2 quirks: - all Porsches (apart from US/CDN spec) got small square side indicators 81+, but these are bigger and slightly further forward - Italy continued to get 924 Turbo after it was dropped for everywhere else at end of 82 when 944 arrived, for tax reasons However I'm ignoring 2nd point here and thinking this is a pre-81 Italian Turbo, like this one.
993cc ◊ 2023-03-25 00:13	Could be. Wiki says you could get those wheels with an S from 1980-on. No idea about indicators or Italian 924s though.

993cc ◊ 2023-03-25 00:59	Ah! sorry should have said S pack not the late "924 S" model. "...However, four-wheel disc brakes, five stud hubs and alloys from the 924 Turbo were available on the base 924 as an "S" package starting with the 1980 model year..." from wiki. But as you say nothing is against Turbo.
