Offered here is a beautifully restored Porsche 928 S2 that was part of the Porsche Classic Car Restoration programme in 2016. All seventeen of the official Porsche repairers in the UK were invited to enter and subsequently, a lucky buyer will be the beneficiary of an exercise to promote excellence and craftsmanship. This particular Porsche 928 was initially sourced, with the help of Porsche Mayfair and, with only 65,000 miles indicated, was believed to be the best available in terms of history and colour combination. Its one and only owner was gifted the car by his parents as a 21st birthday present in August 1986. Finished in the stunning combination of Crystal Green Metallic (S5S5) with Grey Green Leatherette and Grey Green pinstripe inlays. The original factory options list included Auto transmission, recoil bumpers, electric passenger door mirror, sunroof, Blaupunkt Toronto radio cassette, and a wide-track rear axle.

Renowned Official Porsche repairers M&A Coachworks of London started the precise restoration in 2016 and the result is truly stunning. Any area of the bodywork that could not reproduce the desired new effect was replaced. The final paint and finishing process is, of course, to an industry standard second to none. The engine alone was subject to sixty hours of detailing and any components that didn't resemble production line finishes were replaced resulting in an engine bay that would look at home leaving the factory in 1986. The interior was also prepared to the same standard as production levels and this restoration was trusted to 'Beyond Leather' in London who were given access to the original fabrics and leather resulting in a period correct interior. The finished article was exhibited by Porsche at both the Silverstone Classic and the Nurburgring in 2016 to much acclaim. It comes complete with a new crash helmet in matching body colour signed by Porsche legend Derek Bell and Porsche Letter of Authenticity.

These high-performance Grand Tourers are an engineering masterpiece and, restored to this level by experts, could make a fine investment at this realistic guide.
