1979 Porsche 928 4.5 Manual 53,500 miles

KEY FACTS

     ●     A fantastic, early example of the front-engined, grand tourer, finished in a lesser-seen factory hue and with low mileage from new.

●     It is powered by the 4.5-litre ‘M28/01' V8, producing 237bhp, coupled to the desirable five-speed manual transmission.

●     The odometer displays just 53,500 miles, which is particularly modest given the 928's ability to comfortably cover long distances, and is backed by the car's detailed maintenance history.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

●     This 928 comes finished in the eye-catching hue of Minerva Blue Metallic, with half-leather upholstery in the cabin, punctuated by black and blue ‘Pascha' chequered cloth on the front seat centres and door cards.

●     Factory equipment includes cruise control, air conditioning and electric windows.

●     This example has had an original set of S2-era front and rear spoilers installed, along with a battery kill switch and an aftermarket stereo in the glovebox.

●     It will be accompanied by its original spare key and leather key pouch, genuine Porsche indoor cover, along with a raft of maintenance invoices and a complete record of its MOT test certificates.

CONDITION

●     There is no bodywork damage, though two genuine Porsche aluminium front wings have been installed, as the originals were pitted from light corrosion.

●     The Minerva Blue Metallic paintwork is in excellent condition, with a few small stone chips to the front bumper, bonnet and wings, in line with the car's road use.

●     There is some slight wear to the nearside front plastic bumper trim.

●     Inside, the half-leather seats have a few age-related creases, but there is no unexpected wear or damage of any kind.

●     The rear seats were re-upholstered in black leather around seven years ago.

●     The switches and VDO clock have a few light surface scratches.

●     The car's most recent MOT test was conducted on 13 July 2021 at 53,415 miles, resulting in a pass after an issue with the horn was rectified and the offside front headlamp's aim was adjusted. In total, six advisories were issued, noting corrosion on the nearside and offside outer sills, a minor oil leak, slight seepage in the power steering pipe/hose, and slightly deteriorated rear brake hoses.

●     Since the last MOT the car has been treated to a full underbody rust conversion and coated in Dinitrol sealer at a cost of over £1000

SERVICE HISTORY

●     This 928's most recent service was performed at 53,411 miles, when technicians at Performance Porsche Klassiker replaced the engine oil, filters, spark plugs, breather pipe, steering universal joint, fuel accumulator, distributor cap and HT leads, before stripping the brake callipers, fitting new pads and tuning the engine. At a cost of nearly £3000.

●     Prior to this, a service was carried out in September 2018.
