1978 Porsche 928, 5 speed manual (Historic status) For Sale

1978 Porsche 928 5 speed manual.
This is a very early LHD 928 without the front and rear spoilers and side strakes which to my mind spoil the purity of the original shape. Manufactured in September 1978, this 928 has the rare 5 speed manual gearbox, in it's original Schwarz Black metallic, with a black full leather interior and original 'telephone dial' alloys. I'm the only UK owner of this left hand drive car which lived all its previous life in California and is therefore completely rust free. I keep the 928 in a dehumidified garage. The dark metallic grey suits the 928 because the black plastic seams (between the front and rear bumper sections and the remainder of the body) are less visible so the car appears more of 'one piece'. The 928 is in very good condition throughout with no mechanical or electrical faults. The clutch is light and the gearbox is a pleasure to use. I've previously owned four examples of the 911 (from every air-cooled decade) and a manual 928 is a far better car. Compared to the 911, the 928 has better weight distribution, a more positive gear change, a lighter clutch, a more torquey engine and a more dramatic lower driving position.
Over £6k were spent in the USA prior to export including full service, all belts etc., and new tyres all round. This was about 5000 miles ago. The history file includes the Porsche Certificate of Production. This 928 has historic status so there is no road tax to pay and can be viewed in Kenley (near Caterham).
