The Appeal

You may not think of a front-engined V8 when it comes to Stuttgart, but you might be left wondering why when you get into the 928. This car is a beast under the bonnet and carries a real airiness and lightness of character in its distinctive silhouette. While it may not have turned out as the replacement for the 911 that Porsche had intended and might have upset a few purists, it's impossible to deny the sheer charisma it carries - one look at it, and you can guarantee you'll be back for seconds.

This particular example of Porsche's V8-bellied beast stems from 1984, and is offered in a stylish Grand Prix White - which suits the car's futurist lines down to the ground. It also boasts a reupholstered brown leather cabin and an impressive paperwork file. This car has really proven itself over its 20-year tenure with the vendor, and we've no doubt it'll prove just as rewarding for its lucky new keeper.

The vendor says:

"Many 10s of thousands spent on the car - I mean a crazy amount. A real labour of love. This must be the finest model in the country."
