Racerx, I thought the 928 only came with the early 944 style mirrors. Didn't know it adapted the more stylish mirrors later. Thanks for pointing that out. The 928 will always be one impressive piece of design and engineering!
(They loved it on the programme Wheeler Dealers too)

The 928 body and interior layout was the same for the entire 17 years of production, they did it so right. The front and rear bumpers changed in 87 to the more rounded aero look. The GTS had the extra hip bulge of 1 inch for the rear tires. Spoilers and mirrors changed here and there.
There were many different engine upgrade/changes, at least 10, from 220 hp to 345.
If I wanted a 5 speed, I would opt for a GT. For an auto, I would want an 85/86 euro LH version. Mine is an 85 euro LH. Cosmetically, I prefer my non-aero look with the front spoiler, looks more agressive in person. BUT I wish i had the GTS bulge for my rear wheels.
The euro lh engine just screams, it has much larger air flow capacity than others and the most agressive cams, very much the GT3 of 928's.
Appreciation-wise, the last year of GTS 1995 commands top dollar.

And I so often think I should get one. I might take the plunge some day when I see a nice one
Get one from Germany, 928's for the swiss market were actually built with slightly lower compression for emission regulations. Not many know that.

Great Pics Mark. Your second one really the demonstrates the front mid-emgine layout, that really helps weight distribution. Is that car Cobalt blue?
