The Appeal
In the annals of brilliant GTs, the 928 is among the very best. Brutally quick, very comfortable, engaging like a sports car and built like a Porsche, it is the companion you want for any long-distance, trans-continental tour.
Later cars are more numerous but the early ‘Series 1’ 4.5L cars are the purest versions of Porsche’s vision. Good ones are in very short supply, but here we have one.
A careful restoration means it presents in very good condition, classically finished in Zinc Silver with a navy and silver cabin. It was maintained by Porsche dealers for the first 30 years of its life then more recently by George Morrison, the Glasgow marque specialist. His work included servicing and a cambelt change. The paintwork was refreshed at a cost of £5,000 in late 2022.
The current keeper acquired this lovely car a year ago and is only selling due to a change of circumstances. It is a truly great example that retains its early features. Buy this and start planning your European adventures immediately.
