Description

Highlights Once owned by Richard Hammond Lovely, early 4. 5-litre V8 example Glass out, wings off restoration. Two volumes of service history included Overview Being a '79 model, it's not long into the 928's production. That was also the year after the 928 won the European Car of the Year title as it happens. As a result, the heart and soul is the 4, 511cc M28 V8 engine. That means single cams per bank and Bosch injection, with peak power at 240hp. Here it's paired with the rear-mounted three-speed automatic gearbox, which, rather than a hindrance, quite suits the grand-touring nature of the 928. History and documentation V5 registration document present Registered 28. 06. 79 and declared new at first registration HPI clear MOT exempt Tax exempt Eight owners in total - one of whom is Richard Hammond Owned by the current owner for the last 12 years Comes complete with Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche Cars GB Original owner's manual and service book included Accompanying the service book are two volumes of service history going back decades Two keys present Exterior This 928 is finished in Light Blue Metallic with a set of classic 16-inch teledial wheels. The car was subject to a full body refurbishment three years ago, including removing all the window glass and the front wings All the exterior seals and trims were renewed at the same time as the body work The paintwork appears to still be in good order The wheels have been refurbished recently Interior Spec includes electric front seats, windows and mirrors, power headlight washers, rear wash/ wipe and cruise control Black leather with perforated centres looks to be free of tears and scuffs and still supple The evidence is that the door cards and switch gear are in good order, and there aren't any cracks showing on the dashboard The car has its original three-spoke impact-absorbing steering wheel. The leather trim on the wheel rim is in fine condition for the car's age This 928 comes with a non-period Kenwood head unit with an integrated CD player 928-branded kick plates are clean and smart The luggage compartment shows no obvious signs of wear and tear Mechanical Lovely all-alloy 4, 511cc M28 V8 with Bosch injection producing 240hp Three-speed Mercedes-Benz-derived automatic transmission Under the bonnet the engine bay looks extremely tidy for a 40-year-old car. Service and maintenance has been carried out by marque expert Paul Anderson when needed. The car has a sports exhaust.
