  • Warranted 66,000 miles from new
  • Entered from a private collection and just four owners from new
  • Finished in the rare and desirable, special order Velvet Red Metallic paintwork
  • Offered with the original book pack with stamped service book

Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche's front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different to the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company's first foray into grand touring territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of the Year Award. Debuting in 1986 for the 1987 model year, the S4 variant featured an updated version of the 5.0-litre V8 producing some 316hp and a larger torque converter on automatic transmission examples along with numerous styling updates to give the car a sleeker appearance. Production of the S4 ended in 1991 along with the GT model to make way for the 5.4-litre GTS which would last until 1995.

Manufactured new in 1989, the 928 offered was supplied new by JCT600 Porsche of Leeds on the 1st of August that year. Finished from the factory in the special order Velvet Red Metallic paintwork with a complementary Ivory leather interior upholstery with Red piping and carpeting, the Porsche was specified with the factory options of automatic transmission, Blaupunkt Toronto radio, lumbar support on the front seats, tinted windscreen top, and electric sliding sunroof. In the ownership of just three individuals until purchased into the vendor’s private collection in 2018, the Porsche has therefore now had just four owners and is offered with a warranted low mileage of just 66,000 miles from new.

Maintained by Steve Bull Porsche specialist between 2003 and 2018, there are numerous invoices on file for improvements and maintenance completed during this period. The front brakes were renewed at 62,000 miles and air-conditioning was also re-gassed in 2017. Supplied with the original book pack that includes the driver’s manual, supplementary booklets, and stamped service book, the service book illustrates twelve services, six brake fluid changes, and three camshaft belt changes, all of these having been completed by Porsche main agents and specialists. Most recently serviced at 63,922 miles, the 928 is an exceptionally original example of Porsche’s 1990s V8 flagship.

The accompanying history file contains the aforementioned book pack and Steve Bull invoices, numerous previous MOT certificates, a current no-advisory MOT certificate until April 2025, and a current V5C document. Finished from new in a rare and desirable colour scheme, and with low mileage and ownership, this 928 has much to recommend it!
