A formidable and highly coveted Porsche 928 GTS with just 46,238 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
Produced from 1978 to 1995, the Porsche 928 was initially developed as a replacement for the quirky and sometimes difficult to drive 911. However, the characteristics of this V8 Gran Turismo, Porsche’s first production V8 model, were somewhat different to the 911 and direct replacement did not come to fruition. Porsche’s design and development efforts paid off during the 1978 European Car of the Year, where the 928 won ahead of the BMW 7-Series and the Ford Granada. The final and arguably the most coveted 928 models was the GTS as presented here.

EQUIPMENT
2 door 2+2 coupe, aluminium front wings, doors and bonnet, front and rear deformable polyurethane body panels, integral front spoiler, rear boot spoiler, retractable halogen headlamps, front and rear deformation zones, driver’s airbag, heated windscreen washers, high pressure headlamp washers, fibre optic instrument panel, air conditioning with climate control, cruise control, electric adjust to front seats, driver’s memory seat, heated front seats. Factory options; Electric sliding steel sunroof.

EXTERIOR
This late and very desirable 928 GTS is finished in stunning Slate Grey Metallic, (Code L23F), boasting a beautiful deep shine and high polished finish. All panels and large polyurethane trim sections are in excellent order and the factory glass remains with all rubbers and lights in prime order. There is a very small faint paint blemish around the nearside door mirror and another almost undetectable paint imperfection below the nearside rear window. An epic muscular Porsche Gran Turismo.

INTERIOR
The unique interior of the 928, a masterpiece from the Porsche Design Studio, is both functional and wonderfully elegant. The sculptured, anatomically correct seats are trimmed in the original hand-stitched draped leather in light grey, (Code GZ).
