The Background

The 928 combines the power, poise, and handling of a sports car with the refinement, comfort, and equipment of a luxury Grand Tourer.
Launched in Geneva in 1977 and voted Car of the Year for 1978, the front-engined 928's stylish hatchback body featured aluminium doors, bonnet and front wings in the interests of weight saving, while ingenious impact resistant 'bumpers' made of colour matched plastic were incorporated into the nose and tail. 
The V8 engine, Porsche's first, displaced 4.5 litres and produced 234bhp.

The History

This is not a restoration, but an example of how a car should be looked after. The condition of this Series 1 928 is a credit to all its previous, and meticulous, owners. First delivered on 1st May 1982 it was kept and cared for by the same owner for several decades, being looked after by the local Porsche Dealer. It then passed through a couple of owners before ending up in another car enthusiast’s collection.
The current owner bought the car approximately two years ago and has continued to keep it as pristine as you see in the pictures. Always garaged, he has enjoyed it on high days and holidays, his only regret being that it is now for sale.
During his ownership, because he likes his cars to be perfect and trouble-free, he engaged the services of George Morrison of Glasgow, a well-known Porsche specialist, to thoroughly go through the electrical system to eliminate any possible gremlins whilst also having the timing belt changed, fully serviced, and thoroughly checked over. 

The only thing this car needs now is a new owner…everything else is immaculate, both inside and out, and ready to enjoy.


PAPERWORK


The V5c, original Driver’s Manual and service book are all present, together with a comprehensive and reassuring quantity of service invoices and MOT certificates going back through the years.

There is also a Porsche Classic recognition document and 2 sets of keys. The car comes with an MOT through Summer 2021.

INTERIOR

The Navy and Silver leather interior just looks amazing and belies its age of nearly 40 years. It’s as clean and welcoming as it could be, beautifully finished off with Navy carpeting and floor mats.

Needless to say, everything works as it should and there is the benefit of a Pioneer Flip Screen Stereo that enables Bluetooth phone connection, Sat Nav and Carplay. New Pioneer speakers have also been fitted to provide superb clarity and sound.

Cruise control and Air Conditioning are both in working order and the dashboard and binnacle are in excellent shape with no warping or cracking anywhere.

The ample boot area houses the space-saver spare wheel and is similarly nicely presented and carpeted.

EXTERIOR

The rare Zinc Silver Metallic paintwork and body is not only in incredible condition, but it also really shows off the very stunning clean lines of the Porsche 928.

The pop-up headlights work as they should and all the rubber door seals etc. are in great shape.

Wheels are the correct ‘tele-dial’ design and recently new Dunlop Sport tyres are fitted all round.

MECHANICS

As with all the other aspects of this 928, this car is in absolutely near perfect condition and the mechanics have been just as well looked after by its careful owners. 
Everything that has needed doing at any time has just been done and anything not working correctly has also been addressed. A recent full service - changing of the all-important timing belt, coupled with the service history and provenance of this car, plus the way it looks and drives of course, should make this a great car to own and drive.
It’s no surprise that it starts, goes, drives and stops exactly as it was designed to do.

THE APPEAL

Presented in such a fabulous colour, condition and the fact that it’s a Porsche 928, it’s hard to find a reason not to seize this opportunity.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
