The 928 was the flagship of the Porsche range during the late 1980s and early 1990s and, although it was originally supposed to replace their 911 range, continued customer demand dictated otherwise.
As the model’s life neared its end in 1995, Porsche threw all the options at the car and replaced the Series IV with the final version, known as the GTS, which is now regarded as the best equipped, the best to drive and the best long term investment.

For the GTS, Porsche increased the engine capacity to 5397cc and added a catalytic convertor, with eight balance weights instead of six to enhance smoothness. This DOHC engine produced 350bhp and enabled a top speed of more than 170mph. The GTS engine was smoother and more flexible than its predecessor and was quieter and easier to drive. Automatics were fitted with the much faster responding 'Dynamic Kickdown' gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Changes to the chassis included a wider rear track and larger brakes. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche wasn't advertising when the 928 was released was the price; it was among the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's high competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS model that year after shipping only 2,904 in total which, in 1994, was a problem- in 2019 however, it has resulted in a rare and incredibly desirable Porsche.

This particular UK-supplied (C16) GTS-A was supplied through Merlin Cumbria in1995 finished in the traditional colour combination of Porsche Silver with black leather upholstery. The service book shows an amazing number of service stamps, over 30 in total, with a lot of early history with Merlin and AFN.
The history file confirms the usual spend to maintain the car properly throughout its life, mostly with main dealerships and the current mileage of 65,800 is backed up by invoices, receipts and MOTs. The most recent spend was with Jazz Porsche Specialist in London in October 2020, when a £3,000 service was carried out and the air-conditioning compressor was replaced.

Presenting beautifully and supplied with the correct and original book pack, including the maintenance book and the official handbook, the aforementioned history file and several keys, the car is now ready to enjoy this summer as we all return to normality and the pleasure of driving great cars like this once again.
