Anyone know the story behind this 924 turbo wagon?
 
Sorry if this is a re-post but it's the first I've seen of it. A friend sent this link to a classified ad in Belgium, amazing custom creation if it's not in fact a factory car(?) :cool:

Saw that someplace too. Looks cool - shades of the old P1800 wagon.

That may have been the pic (top one) I saw. I think the one Denis posted is shot at a much better angle.

These were custom fabrications by DP motorsport, though I always thought the DP's were 944s with the 924s done by Gunter Artz. Either way, neat cars. :cool:

As seen on BAT last month

Belgian Brake: 1981 DP Porsche 924 Cargo « BaT – The best vintage and classic cars for sale online

Yep, that's the one. (From BaT). I did not see it there, however and therefore missed the part about DP building them.

A curiousity for the most part but not bad looking, IMO.

From memory, they avoided a bunch of taxes because they were re-classed as commercial vehicles.

There's a blurb about the 944 Cargo in the 02/11 issue of Top Gear;

"It's a 944 with the highly modified roof from a VW Passat. Produced in the Eighties by DP Motorsport, fewer than 20 were ever produced."
