1981 Porsche 928S 4.7 V8 73k with fully rebuilt engine For Sale

1981 Porsche 928S 4. 7 V8 3 speed Automatic gearbox

So where do I start, I came across this car a few years back in a large lock up having been dry stored for 15 years (last on the road in 2004) due to the owner having a very large amount of classic cars and hardly driving any of them. Within the collection just to name a few, he had a Delorian, an old Jaguar 420 and an old Mercedes. His reason for selling was that he had lost his storage to the local council and having no where to store the cars he in trusted a few friends to help him offload them as he was too old and was not familiar with the internet and computers, a true old skool kind of guy! Luckily I was at the right place at the right time to get the call asking if I knew anyone who would be interested in a few old cars and the rest is history.

When I first viewed the car it was in very good condition very solid with only a few spots of surface rust in the usual places like underneath the rear spoiler, and a little around the windscreen rubber.
The engine turned over by hand as I did not want anything to go wrong if we tried starting it so we left it as it was.

Regardless of the fact that it turned freely by hand, when I got it sent to a reputable Porsche specialist up in Bedford, I had commissioned them to remove the engine so that I can get it sent to CTM Performance for a complete engine rebuild along with refurbishing the injectors, new water pump, New Main Bearings, new Big end bearings, new belts, new rings, new gaskets, new valves, new tensioners etc etc.
I also had the heads and intakes Powder coated in black to reduce heat under the bonnet.
The engine then went back to Auto Umbau Porsche for fitting along with installing a new custom alloy radiator also powder coated in black, a new starter motor, new thermostat, new filters, new Bosch battery, fresh oil and anti freeze. The car started on the first turn of the key and has been running beautifully since. (Approx £11k+ on engine work)

Since then it has had a new fuel sender (common issue) it has the original bronze anodised 16” 928s wheels in new condition that u cannot find anywhere and even the wheel refurbishers cannot replicate.

Comes with Original tool kit & steel spare wheel + cover
Original Red Key
Red Porsche booklet pouch
Service history booklet
Various receipts for engine work
Original Tinted glass & power steering
Original front & rear S spoilers
Original Chesnut brown dash in perfect condition with no cracks
Original clock
Original 300bhp (M28) engine with 3 speed Automatic gearbox
Original beige interior

It comes with a recent MOT that expires in June 2022 with no advisories.
From October this year she will be 40 years old and therefore can be registered as a historic vehicle making it exempt from M. O. T & Tax.

it has also just been professionally detailed inside & out and looks simply stunning. All electrics work how they should seats windows etc, with no cracks on the dash. One of the rear seats has a little damage but I’m sure can be sorted at little cost.
It still has a few age related marks on the drivers rear quarter and a few minor spots of surface rust under rear boot spoiler and front windscreen corner (the usual places) but overall, it looks and sounds V8 great!
