1988 Porsche 928 S4 Automatic

Highlights

  • 58,732 miles indicated
  • Extensive and impressive service history
  • Just three owners from new
  • Unmodified, factory specification
  • Original two-tone leather upholstery

The Appeal

We adore the 928. And for very good reason: few cars offer the combination of ability, quality and comfort that the 928 possesses. Add to that the futuristic styling, which still appears forward-looking today, and you have a truly exceptional grand-touring sports car. It’s a surprisingly practical machine too, easily capable of whisking two adults and a brace of children, complete with luggage, from one end of Europe to the other.
With a truly astonishing service record and history file, this particular 928 really has been cherished and pampered throughout its life. With just 58,732 miles on the clock now, and only about 4,000 miles covered in the last 15 years, this lovely retro sports car really is a wonderful example of the breed. It’s also highly original and presented in unmodified, factory specification. If you’ve always fancied putting one of these on your driveway, you’ll struggle to find a finer example.

  • Underneath is very clean and tidy, with the sills, valances and floors showing no evidence of corrosion we could discern
