These fabulous sports cars were unveiled at the Geneva Salon in 1977 and voted Car of the Year for 1978. It was intended as an upmarket replacement for the long-running 911 but in the event Porsche's rear-engined classic would outlive its younger sibling. The front-engined 928's stylish hatchback body featured aluminium doors, bonnet and front wings in the interests of weight saving, while ingenious impact resistant 'bumpers' made of colour matched plastic were incorporated into the nose and tail. A five-speed transaxle gearbox or three-speed automatic were the transmission options, in 1979 the 928S with its 4.6 litre engine arrived and then in 1986 the model was further revised and restyled, becoming the 928 S4. Its engine producing 320bhp courtesy of twin-cam, 16 valve cylinder heads and enlargement to 4,957cc, the S4 enjoyed a welcome top speed boost to 160mph.

Originally registered on 18th April 1989 this Porsche presents well in Guards Red with Charcoal leather trim, piped in red. This good-looking Porsche has clearly been a very well cared for example. A substantial history folder accompanies this 928 S4 and we are advised it drives with no known faults. A good specification adorns this Porsche which includes automatic transmission, air conditioning, electric sunroof, CD multi-changer and alloy wheels that are well shod with Continental Speed rated tyres. Porsche 928's have rediscovered their rightful popularity in recent years and represent a fantastic way to enjoy the open road. Consigned by Stewart Banks
