1984 Porsche 928 S2 Manual. 109K Miles, Manual, LSD, Paint to SampleSupplied new in December 1984 and benefitting from significant recent restoration work, this paint-to-sample Silber Metallic over black pinstripe, 5-speed manual Porsche 928 S2 features a unique combination of sporting options including slick-top roof, factory fit limited-slip differential and wider rear axle. This has culminated in a very special iteration of an early Porsche 928, combining the shark nosed appearance of the early cars with the more desirable 310 horsepower 4.7L V8 engine. Fastidious ownership has resulted in a comprehensive service history and extensive recent preventative maintenance on what is thought to be a uniquely specified car. The PTS Silber Metallic paint presents beautifully the car underwent a full respray in the original colour by a leading prestige car body shop in 2009 after it sustained damage to the drivers side wing and strut tower. The repair was completed to a very high standard using the correct jig to ensure there had been no chassis deformation or alteration to geometry before they completed a glass and engine out respray. With 928 values being heinously low at the time, the decision was taken by the owner to declare the incident and as a result the car was categorised as a Category C. He then used the funds from the insurance payout to commission a full engine rebuild with marque specialists GT ONE. For total peace of mind, it has very recently undergone a full HPI inspection by Autolign and has subsequently passed their thorough Category Inspection test to confirm the repairs where carried out correctly, and is now showing as Category Inspected on the HPI history instead of Cat C.The engine rebuild was undertaken by Porsche Specialists GT ONE and overseen by their resident Porsche 928-trained mechanic, covering only about 30,000 miles since. An output of around 320bhp has been demonstrated on subsequent dyno runs, owing not only to the twin-distributor equipped engine seen for the 1985/86 model year, but also thanks to the addition of a shark tuner chip which has allowed optimised performance of the engine on modern fuels. Combined with the desirable G28.10 5-speed gearbox and LSD, this 928 delivers an engaging and visceral drive with impressive performance, even among modern traffic. The absence of a sunroof is another rare and desirable facet to this already rare car, which sheds weight from a key area and improves headroom by a not insignificant 50mm. Other factory options include sports shock absorbers (now GAZ Gold fully-adjustable shocks), windscreen with tinted sun-strip, cruise control, electrically adjustable seats, 8-speaker hi-fi system with Blaupunkt stereo (recently refurbished and upgraded with an invisible Bluetooth module by Chrome London) and amplifier, all of which remain in the car.Most notable recent work includes:Cam belt service 2023 (OEM), Full bodywork re-fresh & new stone chip (Bodycentre Norwich), Refurbished power steering rack (OEM), New power steering pump (OEM), New power steering lines (OEM), New power steering reservoir (OEM), Steering rack bushes (Delrin), Air conditioning compressor (DENSO OEM), New front rubber splitter (OEM Porsche, NLA), Water pump (OEM from USA), New brake calliper (driver-side OEM), New front brake pads (Pagid OEM), New front brake disks (OEM), Brake fluid flush and change (Brembo), Oil filter (OEM), Changed Yearly, Spark plugs (OEM), Fuel filter (OEM), Changed Yearly, Fuel pump (BOSCH OEM), Fuel check valve (BOSCH OEM), Moulded fuel lines from tank (OEM), High-pressure fuel lines under car (Pirtek), Main gear change linkage and bush (OEM), Transmission fluid flush and change (Correct Specification), Coolant flush and change (Correct Specification), New water bridge seals (Silicone custom-engineered to OEM specification to rectify common fault with coolant leaks), New coolant lines, Original stereo refurbished by Chrome London with discrete Bluetooth install (Blaupunkt), New electric window switches (Porsche OEM), Sills checked for corrosion under the stone chip.

In addition to the above service history, the car was at one time owned by a prolific music video producer and commissioner. Under his ownership, it was very well cared for, and featured in several music video productions with artists such as Ed Sheeran, James Blunt & Cardi B. The appropriate cherished number plate B928 SHK is also included in the sale.

The Porsche 928 was designed as a luxury grand tourer and has been noted for its refined balance of performance and comfort.
