i spent five years trying to find a decent very early 928 and purchased this example a couple of years ago from a gentleman who had owned and loved it for 28 years

my strict buying criteria were as follows

1) it had to be an early 4. 5 genuine uk supplied car

2) it had to be bodily sound and not suffering from the usual underbody rot as i did'nt want to have to carry out a full restoration

3) it needed to have sensible miles and owners together with a documented service history

4) it had to be mechanically excellent and not needing engine rebuilds etc !

5) the interior needed to be original and in exceptional condition with the leather stitched dash not needing repairs
( most 928s are very worn and tatty inside )

6) ideally no sunroof !
( the cars have air conditioning )

7) external surface corrosion was of no issue to me as the bonnet, front wings and doors are aluminium and i would accept that any 40 year old porsche would need a quality repaint



cash on collection from shere nr guildford surrey gu5 !

the details below

please read the whole advert fully and study the pictures in the photo bucket link before making calling !


this car is being sold on the basis that it will need light recommissioning work to get back on the road again

it has been off the road in a dry garage for around 18 years so does not have an mot and will need going through to get it back on the road
( i doubt it would need much)

although it is 40 years old in april this year so will be mot and tax exempt

prior to advertising i have had a local mechanic spent some time getting the car up and running to assure the new owner that the car is mechanically good !

the following work has been carried out

the fuel tank was drained , flushed and cleaned and fresh fuel added to the tank

the seized fuel pump was removed nad replaced with a replacement unit

the fuel lines were flushed and cleaned

the engine had been regularly turned over by the previous owner so obviously was not seized

the oil and filter were removed , the engine flushed and new oil and filter fitted

the cam belt and water pump were removed and a new cam belt fitted

a battery was connected and the car started on the second turn of the key running immediately on all eight cylinders !!!!

the engine sounds lovely and runs sweetly , reving and idling as it should !

no smoke , no knocks and no rattles !!

i have added a video of it starting and running ( see photo bucket link )

the gearbox is engaging gears as it should and we have driven the car backwards and forwards

fundamentally a thorough service, tyres etc and a brake check and she would be back on the road



as stated this is a rare and early launch specification 4. 5 automatic fitted with the single door mirror !

i was advised by a porsche 928 specialist that it was manufactured in 1978 before being registered on the 1st april 1979 so a very early car indeed

this is a uk supplied and registered car

early original complete 928s 4. 5s are becoming highly sought after and values are now on the serious increase with restored cars fetching between £25/ 30000 and steadily increasing

so now is the time to find one of these early special examples !

this particular car has the bullet proof fuel injected v8 4. 5l 236 bhp with the standard automatic gearbox

0 - 60 in 6. 8 seconds

top speed 143 mph

a real 40 year old supercar !

european " car of the year" in 1978 !

this is a private sale and a classified advert so if your seriously interested please call me as "what would you take ...... cash ....... no messing" emails will be ignored

its not an expensive early 928 porsche and a great investment proposition !

i have owned this car for nearly 2 years and am selling it reluctantly due to moving overseas in the near future and i am taking a left hand drive porsche 944 automatic with me !

i purchased the car from the gentleman who had owned it since 1990

there is an invoice in the car file dated 31/ 10/ 1990 from county motors cartlett haverfordwest selling the 928 to mr dudley when it had covered 107950 miles

so the car has covered around 7000 miles in 29 years !

original service book and document wallet

lovely low mileage 115000 miles with a fully documented service history

2 keys

lovely black leather dash with no shrinkage / splits or tears
( most early 928s suffer from horrendous leather shrinkage on the dash board which is an extremely expensive area to repair as the whole dash has to be removed !)

the seats are in exceptional condition, the leather is free from tears splits and scuffs and the pascha inserts looks stunning and will need no more than a light clean
the door cards are excellent as are the rear cards and headlining

carpets are superb and need nothing more than a light vacuum and clean

even the boot area is in excellent condition

in fact the inside needs no more than a detailed clean !!!


mechanically its very sound


the wipers work

headlights work

electric windows work

the electric aeriel works !

all light units are complete and in excellent condition with only the indicator in the bumper on the drivers side being chipped !

the engine bay / inner wings are in excellent condition

( no apparent oil leaks etc, very dry and clean )

as per the pictures the underneath of the 928 is again excellent

no rust in the floors or chassis rails

the inner and outer sills are excellent

all 4 wheel arches are sound and clean

the underneath is rock solid !

the battery tray is solid without the usual rot issues

the boot floor is sould and rot free

the underneath needs no more than the light surface rust on suspension/ steering components cleaning off and a decent coat of under body seal applied to protect it for years to come

when i purchased the car it was thoroughly inspected by a manager of a bodyshop who advised me that the car was 100% sound and solid but suffering the usual cosmetic issues associated with 40 year old porsches

he advised me that to make the car perfect it would need a full quality repaint

he reported the following

the car would need no replacement panels

both front wings are aluminium and suffering the usual surface corrosion
both door are aluminium and suffering the usual surface corrosion
the bonnet is aluminium and has the usual external surface corrosion
both rear quarter panels had suffered the usual 928 rust around the rear quarter windows, this would require cutting out and new metal letting in
he stressed however that both panels are repairable without thr need to replace
the tailgate had suffered the usual surface rust issues but was repairable without the need to replace
both outer sills are rot free and onlt need painting when the car was repainted
both front and rear bumpers would only need painting when the car was repainted

so no structural work required !

its never been welded and does not need any !

he summarised by saying that a decent qualty repaint was all ther car basically needed to make it immaculate and that i would struggled to find a more sound 40 year old 928 !

the glass is all good

most panels will have small areas needing remedial work before the car is painted

the car will require a full repaint
( any un restored 928 of this period will require a full repaint )

this is a 25k plus car once the work is completed


its fundamentally a really good car where it needs to be and deserves someone to dedicate time and money to make it one of the best left.


1st serious buyer who appreciates what this car is and the potential it has will buy it

please don, t bother coming to look at the car just to pick it to pieces as you will be just wasting your time !

in a few years there will be no such thing as a cheap 928

values of early cars are going up in value which makes this car a great investment for very little money


so to sum up this incredible 928 requires paintwork but is mechanically sound and is rot free underneath . its has a nice low mileage a documented service history and an immaculate interior
oh and it starts and runs !

£9995. 00
