1991 Porsche 928 GT

With the 928, Porsche created a serious long distance grand touring car that was also at home on twisting B-roads thanks to super direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Porsche continuously developed the 928 throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987, which differed slightly from the earlier Series cars with its smoothed off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment and a 5-litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp.

1989 saw further development of the 928, with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful 5.0-litre V8 capable of 326 bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a 5-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a more sporty driving experience. The model also feature twin exhaust, uprated camshafts and sports suspension -the ultimate 928 had arrived!

Supplied by Porsche Cars Great Britain, Reading on 11th October 1991, this original UK right-hand drive car is a rare manual 928 GT finished in probably the most desirable colour combination of Satin Black Metallic with a black leather interior and carpets to match. Accompanying the car is a comprehensive service history which includes a fully stamped service book beginning with a service at 1,779 miles at Lancaster Porsche when the car was barely a month old. 18 stamps later in 2011, and recorded at 96,871 miles, the car was sent to Paul Anderson at Hayes Engineering where in excess of £8,000 was lavished on this 928 GT. Work carried out at the time included; new engine mounts, a new clutch, a steering rack rebuild, replenishment of all fluids, fitment of new auxiliary drive belts, damper replacements, the list goes on....!

Most recently in January of this year, and only 4,500 miles since its last major service at Hayes Engineering, our vendor sent the car to Porsche Centre Swindon for its annual service at the cost of £1,600. The complete & original book pack containing all relevant literature and the toolkit are both present, along with a folder full of invoices and 15 previous MoT certificates.

In fabulous condition both inside and out, and now showing a warranted 101,432 miles on the odometer, this car is supplied with a UK V5c and MoT until 14th May '16. Being a rare and much sought after manual 928 GT, this car presents the next owner with a chance to enjoy a highly collectable front-engined Grand Tourer which has been thoroughly maintained throughout its life.
