1993 Porsche 928 S4

Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 had an all-alloy V8 which was attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, and the galvanised body featured aluminium doors and bonnet, plus body-coloured plastic bumpers which was pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy but dull family hatchbacks.

Critics immediately recognised the advances that the 928 had made over the 911, and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance 'Grand Touring' car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution, and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted.

We are delighted to offer this rare C16-UK supplied 928 Series 4 originally supplied by AFN Porsche in Guildford and first registered on 5th February 1993. Finished in bright Cobalt Blue Metallic with contrasting Linen interior, a rare specification for a Series 4 in 1993.

The 928 sits beautifully with excellent lines and shape and its 16-inch alloy wheels sport a new set of matching Toyo Proxes T1-R rubber. Upon close inspection, the wonderful Cobalt Blue paintwork is in excellent condition and shows very few imperfections throughout. The panels are straight and true and are free from dents. As expected from a car that is twenty-four years old there is a light dusting of age-related stone chips.

Moving inside the light leather interior shows little signs wear and retains a soft supple and spongy texture with minimal signs of wear to the vulnerable areas. Present are the original deep pile over mats and these are beautifully presented with a fresh feel. Supplied with a comprehensive service record stamped by Official Porsche Centres and Porsche specialists. Included in the history file are a sheaf of previous service invoices, previous MOT certificates, the original service book, and original handbook. The toolkit remains in good condition and the car is offered to auction with a fresh MOT.

To conclude, therefore, it is rare to offer such a sharp example of a C16 UK supplied car that presents so beautifully with an impeccable service record with the perfect driver's mileage of some 77,000 miles.
