Lot details

Mot Expiry: None

The front engined 928 arrived on the UK market in 1978 and although conceived as a replacement for the classic 911 it actually became an additional model as it was felt that the 911 was too popular to discontinue. A 4-seater powered by a new 240 bhp V8 4.5 litre engine with rear mounted manual or automatic transmission, the 928 offered an unmatched combination of roadability, comfort, space and quality. A deserved winner of the 1978 Car of the Year award on its technical merits this victory was overshadowed by the vocalisations of a minority who felt that such a specialised car should not win the award, and it is thus the only sports car ever to win the title. Unusually the cheaper 911 was still the faster car, so to remedy this Porsche introduced an S version in January 1980. Sporting an uprated 4664cc engine developing 300 bhp, the S was recognisable by a deeper front air dam, rear spoiler and redesigned alloys. The Series 2 (S2) replaced the S in September 1983 with fuel injection increasing power output to 310 bhp and the automatic gearbox (now 4-speed) as standard equipment with a manual option. Anti-lock brakes and a revamped interior with extra headroom ensured that the car remained a market leader until the arrival of the S4 in 1986 (the S3 was a US only model).

The 1986 registered 928 S2 offered today is one of the last S2s. Finished in burgundy with matching leather interior and with automatic transmission this car shows a mileage of 76,985 at the time of going to press, a figure guaranteed correct by the vendor with a complete history file available to view in the document office. The current owner bought the car from the executors of the original owner in 1999 and we are told it is used only during the summer. The history file will show that the cambelts were replaced in 2003, a new driveshaft and housing fitted in 2004 and the oil is changed every year regardless of mileage. Described by the vendor as 'excellent' (engine), 'very good' (transmission, interior, chassis & wheels/tyres) or 'good' (electrics, bodywork) we are told that the only items requiring attention are a non-functioning clock, a scratch on the wheelarch and some paint lift on one door.

PLEASE NOTE: This vehicle does not have an MOT.
