Porsche 928 Great colour combination 1980
General description :
Trade-in car. We have a stunning Porsche 928S in “Oakgrun Metallic”. The first owner decided to match the dark green exterior with dark green leather interior trim. The 928 was the successor to the 911. Everyone at Porsche then was sure that this front-engined V8 coupé would push the 911 out of the lime-light. How different things eventually turned out! Still with hindsight the 928 is an exceptionally interesting car. It was a proper “Gran Turismo”, especially in this car’s turnout. The 4.5 litre V8 is coupled to a 5-speed gearbox. This 928 is neat but would benefit from some attention. The bottom is sound and rust-free. The paintwork is tired and needs a re-spray to bring this car up to spec again. The interior is in reasonable condition but does require some love and attention. The leather is neat with a lovely patina, but does need proper leather treatment. The carpets are worn in several places and will need replacing. The first owner did add some desirable extra’s. The car has slide and tilt sunroof, cruise control and nice 16” platinum wheels. In short there more than enough there to bring this 928S back up to spec without having to go the whole hog with an extensive restoration. THIS VEHICLE IS IN OUR STORAGE, VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

About Porsche 928
he Porsche 928 was a grand tourer sports car introduced by Porsche in 1977. While the car was highly regarded for its performance and handling, it's fair to say that it was not the right car for the time of its launch, at least in terms of market demand.At the time of the 928's launch, there was a growing demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars due to the oil crisis of the 1970s. The 928 was a large, V8-powered sports car that was not particularly fuel-efficient, and its high price tag made it less accessible to many buyers.
Furthermore, the 928 was also a departure from Porsche's traditional sports car design, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout instead of the classic rear-engine layout of the iconic 911. While the 928 was highly regarded for its performance and handling, some enthusiasts felt that it didn't quite capture the essence of a true Porsche sports car.
Despite these challenges, the Porsche 928 managed to gain a loyal following over the years, thanks to its combination of performance, handling, and luxury features. The car underwent a number of updates and revisions over its production run, and it remained in production until 1995.
Overall, while the Porsche 928 may have been the wrong car for the time of its launch in terms of market demand, it remains an important part of Porsche's history and a classic example of the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive design and engineering.
