A UK right-hand drive S4 in a striking colour combination that has benefitted from a Porsche Centre restoration in the past and only covered 100 miles since. Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 had an all-alloy V8 attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet and the body-coloured bumpers were plastic - all 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. Coming of age and perceived as a compliment to the 911 rather than a rival, the 928 is now rightly appreciated, especially those well maintained cars with low mileages.
Presented in its original factory colourway of Cassis Red Metallic with linen hide piped in Burgundy, this C16, UK, right-hand drive 928 S4 was originally supplied by Ian Anthony (Bury) in January 1987 and has since covered 91,651 miles. It was subject to a full restoration by Porsche Centre Leeds in 2016 and has only covered around 100 miles since. It's complete with all Porsche Classic handbooks and original stamped service book, as well as a full 'before & after' restoration brochure and YouTube film links of the entire process as carried out 2016.
The original invoice, featured in the restoration brochure, shows the vehicle as having been optioned from new with driver lumbar support, memory seat, electric sunroof and the High-Fidelity Amplifier pack. Service book stamps range from new through to 2008 pretty consistently and then coincide with a gap in MOTs from 2006 onwards until 2016, when it had completed the restoration. The car is described as being in good condition throughout, both mechanically and cosmetically, and the current MOT is valid until January 2025.
