1987 PORSCHE 928 S4

KEY FACTS

• A well cared-for example of the modern classic GT car, featuring an attractive factory colour combination.
• Under the bonnet is the 320bhp 5.0-litre M28/41 V8, which is coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission.
• Fully inspected and serviced at approximately 109,000 miles, including replacement of its suspension dampers.
• The car was first registered in April 1987 and was acquired by the seller five years ago.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• As an ‘S4’ model, this 928 features a 32-valve DOHC 5.0-litre V8, allowing it to complete the sprint from 0-60mph in around six seconds. It is also equipped with Brembo front brake discs and four-piston callipers, with a multi-link ‘Weissach’ rear axle.
• It rides on the original set of 16-inch forged alloy wheels.
• Entertainment is provided via a modern Sony stereo with Bluetooth connectivity.
• The car will be supplied with its original handbook and tool kit, as well as its latest MOT certificate and two sets of keys.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Thought to be completely original, the paintwork is in good order, with various marks around the car. These include stone chips on the nose, scratches on the rear panel beside the passenger-side tail light, a small bubble on the front passenger-side wheel arch and minor scratches on the passenger-side door mirror cover.
• There is also a crack in the front passenger-side fog light lens.
• The interior is smart given the car’s age and mileage, with creases to the front seats, scratches on the driver’s door card, and wear to the driver’s seat’s outer bolster and piping. Furthermore, one of the speaker grilles has become detached from the passenger-side door card, but this will be supplied with the car.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults; however, the air conditioning system is in need of a service.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 25 March 2021, which resulted in a pass after an issue with the horn was rectified. Advisories were issued for slight play in both front wheel bearings.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car’s last routine maintenance was a full post-purchase service, which was carried out in August 2016 at approximately 109,000 miles by 928 Spares Ltd. As well as an oil and filter change, this also included replacement of the suspension dampers with genuine Bilstein units, the fitment of a new handbrake cable, and replacement of the brake discs and pads. Furthermore, the knock sensor and one of the wishbones were also replaced, along with various seals, bolts and hoses.
• Prior to this, Carrera Engineering and Motorsport tended to the car in December 2013 at 104,738 miles, replacing the cam belt, rollers and cam cover seals.
