The Porsche 928 was a sports-GT sold from 1978 to 1995.
Originally intended to replace the iconic 911. the 928 attempted to
combine the power. poise and handling of a sports car with the
refinement. comfort and equipment of a luxury coupé creating what
some Porsche executives thought would be a more appealing vehicle
than the compact and quirky. yet sometimes difficult to handle. br/>911.

Originally registered by Rivervale Porsche in June 1985. this
stunning S2 example of Porsche's V8 coupé- presented in metallic
silver with black leather interior and red piping- was one of the
last S2s built and had been factory upgraded with various S4
goodies including upgraded brakes to four piston Brembos and
updated ABS with improved brake pad sensor wiring along with a
superior dual-disk clutch. The wheel offsets were made more
versatile with ¾" spacers as well as improved front wheel bearings
and a 2. 20 rear differential- including updated differential
drain/fill plugs-. giving the engine and drive-train less stress
than earlier years. Other changes were made to the suspension
points and the front suspension itself. alongside improved head
design. flowing intake and thicker cylinder walls. This example is
also sitting the S2 1. 23" lower than earlier models. Additional
changes incorporated improved synchromesh including reverse gear. br/>simpler and more easily tuned fuel-injection and ignition control
and higher lift/duration cams (the same as the GT. but with
improved timing).

Cosmetic changes included revised floor pan. battery box and rear
cross member and the 1986. 5 model was seen as the ultimate
incarnation of the classic body shape. dubbed the 'GTS' of the
classic body style. Optional equipment also included recoil
bumpers. limited-slip differential and widened track rear axle and
sunroof all coupled with the extremely desirable manual
gearbox.

Also complementing this coupé is a comprehensive and stamped
service history including cambelt replacement alongside countless
MoT test certificates. warranting the mileage at an impressive
54. 21. equating to just 1. 00 miles for every year of use. Recent
work has included refurbishing the MAF sensor and oil seals as well
as Porsche brake discs and pads and gas struts for the
tailgate.

Having been owned by a Porsche enthusiast and club member. this
car has entered and won many club events and in such a spec. is
certainly a rare and desirable example. Only 893 manual 928s were
ever produced for the UK market with a mere 410 manual S or S2
Models and it is thought just 25 remain in this S2 to S4
specification. with even fewer boasting the limited-slip
differential and widened track as factory modifications. Offered
for auction with a mountainous history file- which includes a fresh
MoT test certificate and Service with Porsche Cardiff. it also has
its original service and handbooks. tyre inflator. tools and Becker
stereo. This 310bhp German sports coupé is certainly one for the
collector and enthusiast and you would have to look long and hard
to find an example as well looked after as this. Oh. and in case we
didn't mention it. it also has a certificate of authenticity from
Porsche UK just to give any prospective buyer added confidence.
