Porsche 928 S

Vehicle Description

This indian red Porsche 928 S is a german first delivery, sold by the Reutlingen Porsche centre. According to the last owner, the car has been through 3 ownerships, although this cannot be vouched for. In 2015, the car was re-registered to obtain the historic plates.
As opposed to many other cars of this type, this specimen has been spared the abasement of tuning with aftermarket bolt-on parts. A sports steering wheel is fitted, however, the original wheel is included.
The previous owner kept this Porsche in good shape and made sure it was serviced regularly.
The 928 displays traces of use in accordance to 30 years of age. The paintwork is largely original with re-painting in certain places, but the car is not devoid of scratches and small dents, in particular on the roof and the fenders. The black leather interior is in decent condition for its age. The 16″ alloys are largely free of kerb damage.
In terms of equipment, the 928 has air conditioning and power windows. As a 1985 model, it already has the windscreen aerial and the new instrument cluster.
A slight oil leakage from engine and gearbox requires attention.
An sporty and enjoyable classic that looks anything but dated.

The other great Porsche

This was supposed to be the heir to the throne, successor to the forever-young 911, which in the late 1960s was thought to be way past its prime, with not much of a future ahead. Hence a radically different layout was favoured: The new top-of-the-range model was designed to be a luxury touring car, with a powerful watercooled V8 engine in the front, providing 176 kW (240 hp) from 4,5 l of displacement, and a transaxle layout, which enabled a weight distribution of nearly 50/50 (front/rear). The 928 debuted in 1977 at the Geneva Motor show. In 1978, it won the coveted “European Car of the Year” award, as the first sports car ever – a clear indication of just how advanced the 928 was both technically, as well as with regards to styling. Many Porsche enthusiasts, however, greeted the 928 with something ranging from suspicion to downright rejection, as the 911 continued to sell. Nevertheless, the 928 became a success in its own right, with a construction period of no less than 18 years. Later models featured a 5.4 litre engine with up to 257 kW (350 hp). Only about 1/5 of all 928 came with a manual gearbox!
