The 928 on offer is an S2 model from 1986. According to VDI Check it was originally finished in blue and repainted in its current red livery in 2015. This is paired to a navy blue interior trimmed in a pleasing mix of leather and striped Alcantara, and the S2 rides on its original set of alloy wheels. The last keeper retained the Porsche for eight years and we understand its steering rack, cam belt, water pump and mass air flow sensor have all been replaced in recent times. The vendor presently classes the V8 engine as ‘excellent’ and the four-speed automatic transmission, coupe bodywork, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. ‘D928 HUA’ is now on offered complete with a spare set of 17-inch 911 alloy wheels and almost new tyres, model-related cherished registration number, pair of keys, the original owner’s book pack, a degree of service history and selection of bills and receipts, plus a current MOT valid for the next 11 months.

Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche’s front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different to the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company’s first foray into grand touring territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award. Production continued until 1995, by which time some 61,000 examples had been made. At launch, the all-alloy engine was 4,474cc in capacity and produced some 240bhp. The S derivative introduced in 1979 featured an enlarged unit of 4,664cc and a commensurate increase in performance – the 0-60mph dash was now possible in 6.2 seconds and the top speed electronically limited to 155mph. The S2 version introduced in 1983 saw power further boosted to 310bhp and a welcome increase in equipment levels.

In summary:

• A seven-keeper example that’s currently registering 124,740 miles
• Has remained in the last ownership for eight years
• Comes with a spare set of 17-inch Porsche 911 wheels and tyres
