1989 PORSCHE 928 S4

KEY FACTS

• A tastefully specified example of the V8-powered grand tourer, with a well-documented history.
• Under the bonnet is the 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, which delivers 320bhp to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.
• This is an original C16-code, UK-delivered example of the uprated S4 model of the 928, featuring Brembo front discs with four-piston callipers and a ‘Weissach’ multi-link rear axle.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This 928 is finished in Slate Grey Metallic over a Linen leather-trimmed cabin, and rides on its original 16-inch forged alloy wheels.
• The original factory specification includes draped leather on the seat faces, air conditioning, an electrically operated sunroof, a top-tinted windscreen, a trip computer, and electrically adjustable lumbar support for the driver’s seat.
• The car is accompanied by its owner’s manual, service book, and numerous invoices for work carried out over the last 10 years.
• An HPI check indicates that the car has previously been registered overseas at some point, which is assumed to have been Ireland given its history.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.
• The original Slate Grey Metallic paintwork is in very good condition overall, with some minor blemishes visible upon close inspection commensurate with the age of the car. These include some very small marks next to both rear light clusters, and a few stone chips across the front end and roof of the car.
• There is some minor flaking to the trim around the offside rear quarterlight window.
• The alloy wheels are in good condition, with a handful of minor grazes on the rim of the rear passenger-side wheel.
• The original Linen leather interior presents very well, though there is some creasing to the seat facings, which would benefit from being re-connolised, and some minor signs of use on the steering wheel and gear lever.
• There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.
• The car’s last MOT test was carried out on 16 August 2021 at 85,914 miles, which resulted in a pass after all four tyres were replaced. Advisories noted slight binding of all four brakes and some corrosion on the underside of the vehicle.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This 928 S4 was most recently given a full service in September 2014 at 84,148 miles by Porsche Centre Cardiff.
• Prior to this, Porsche Centre Belfast carried out a service in June 2006 at 72,488 miles.
• The vendor states that the car would benefit from an engine oil and brake fluid change based on time rather than mileage.
