Highlights

Unique original U2 light blue metallic colour
Only 41,618 miles from new, reportedly accurate
Purchased from the granddaughter of the first owner
Superbly presented underside and engine compartment

The Appeal

For a firm that had cut its teeth on paired-back, rear-engined, air-cooled sports cars, the 928 really couldn't have been more different. A luxuriously appointed front-engined, water-cooled V8 GT, the 928 was built with long-distance driving in mind.

This 1982 example looks in very good condition, especially the underside and engine bay which are among the cleanest we've seen with car of this vintage. The vendor acquired it from the granddaughter of the original owner in Arizona and it has a mere 41,618 miles on the clock.

This Porsche is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner and is conveniently located in Damwoude, Netherlands, with all import and VAT costs settled.
