928 S4 Auto 1988 Diamond Blue Metallic - TIPEC mem For Sale
It's a lovely metallic silver-blue colour with black full leather interior, Porsche teardrop mirrors and Porsche 'Cup 1' alloy wheels giving a nod to the later 928GTS. It also benefits from a Porsche three-spoke steering wheel.
I've been the owner since July 2013 and driven around 10, 000 miles up to the current 143, 000 miles.
This has been my second 928 (20 year break between the two) and I'm a long term Porsche enthusiast so this recent car has been active at events organised and supported by TIPEC and 928. ORG and has featured in some excellent photoshoots.
The good, the bad and the ugly (in my opinion):-
GOOD
====
All the shut-lines are spot-on.
The interior is in very good order compared to many similar age (and more recent) examples I've seen. The electrically adjustable driver's seat is very supportive and comfortable and a 7-hour return journey is no problem at all.
It starts first time, every time - even after standing for three or four weeks.
Works well as a Daily Driver (which has been useful - see below), and drives well with good road composure and no pulling or vices.
All fluids and pressures are good and there's minimal oil use and no smoke. Compression on all cylinders is fine.
It's just sailed through its MOT with no advisories. It gets fully checked from time to time by the local OPC (official Porsche centre) and they have carried out various works when relevant - for example new fuel lines and the mandatory belt-change and new water pump.
The auto-box has been fully overhauled.
The A/ C has been overhauled and works as it should.
Windows and Sunroof all operate fine.
Plenty of tread on the tyres and the alloys were refurbished and are in good condition.
The spare tyre is original and unused, and most of the toolkit (i think all in fact) is present.
The rear storage cover is a recent replacement.
From 10 feet away the car looks excellent.
BAD
===
Close up there are the usual little bubble/ blisters in all the regular 928 areas, a few little stone chips and a light crease above the rear n/ s arch; it really would benefit from some relatively minor bodywork attention and a nice paint job.
The front bumper has been badly patched up before I bought it and wants sorting along with the paint. Its only cosmetic so has been a low priority.
The passenger door lock tumbler is damaged and needs replacing (I have a mechanism) but this only affects the use of the key and it locks and unlocks normally with the central locking.
The Cruise Control doesn't operate but I never use this on any car so I haven't bothered to explore.
There's no Clock in the centre console as a previous owner cut it out to fit a dual-height ICE! There's a regular DIN sized unit now and a blanking plate which looks fine but it would be nice to get the original reinstated.
UGLY
====
My Panamera! Its 'butt ugly' compared to the 928 and doesn't have the 'soul' that that the Shark has. It also drinks oil, only does 14mpg, and is far less reliable than the 928 - but it does kick out 500hp and when it's working it's an amazing machine!!
Glad the 928 has been trustworthy for the combined 8-weeks the Panny has been back at the OPC!
I shall be taking the 928 to Brooklands for the 40th Anniversary celebrations on the 28th May and this might be a good opportunity for interested parties to have a cursory look at her.
Otherwise viewing by arrangement at West Malling in Kent can be scheduled.
