INTRODUCTION: The Porsche 928 was launched in 1978 with the intention of replacing the 911 as the company’s flagship model. The car was Porsches first V8 production model and in keeping with the brands 924 and 944 models, was a front engine 2+2 coupe. The new 928 even won the ‘European Car of the Year award’ on its release. The cars featured groundbreaking technology and the latest construction techniques and materials with Aluminium being used for most of the bodywork to keep weight down to a minimum. The first generation 928 model was in production until 1986 and was followed by the facelifted and revised 2nd generation car in 1987 which would see the model through to its final year in 1995. These second generation cars featured a more smoothed out nose, a large rear spoiler and restyled rear light clusters. The cars now also featured larger 16” alloy wheels. The previous generation’s 16v 4.5 and 4.7 V8 engines were replaced with Porsches new 32v 5.0 V8 unit. The 928 S4 variant offered 316bhp with either 4 Speed Auto or 5 Speed Manual transmission and would hit 62mph in under 6 seconds and go on to knock on the door of 170mph on the German Autobahn. DESCRIPTION: CSC present for sale this Stunning 1988 928 S4 finished in Minerva Blue metallic with contrasting Linen Leather interior. Minerva Blue is a historic 1970’s Porsche colour that made its claim to fame on the first generation 928. This Blue is a bright metallic or "electric" blue and it is named after the Roman goddess Minerva, patron deity of wisdom, poetry and crafts. How cool is that? This stunning colour was removed from the standard paint options for the second generation 928 models in favour of mode subdued options, however thanks to Porsches ‘Paint to Sample’ programme any colour could be requested at additional cost and in the case of this 928, the original owner ordered the car in Minerva Blue. Externally, the Bodywork of this car presents very well in its striking Minerva Blue with no major marks or blemishes and with straight & constant panel gaps all round and the 16-inch alloy wheels have no kerbing damage or major marking corrosion. Standard exterior features of the 928 are the electrically operated sliding sunroof panel, the large rear spoiler and of course, those unique Pop-Up headlights. Internally, the two-tone Linen and Metropole Blue works well with the exterior colour. The Linen leather seats feature matching Metropole Blue piping whilst the fitted floor mats are finished in Blue to add a touch of practicality. All interior trim remains in genuinely nice condition with no major wear and just a light age-related patina to show for its 36 years. The car retains its original Blaupunkt Toronto radio cassette head unit along with the factory immobiliser system which still work and are nice period features. One of the 928’s best features is its real-world practicality. The rear offers 2+2 seating (ideal for small children) and a rear luggage area which allows plenty of room for a trip away or even the weekly shopping trip. The rear seat back also folds flat to increase the luggage area even more for those longer trips. At the front end of the car, the engine bay is extremely clean, tidy and in good order with original factory stickers still in place. The engine starts at the first turn of the key and idles smoothly. On the road the car drives well with the smoothness, solidity and comfort you would expect from a large powerful GT. Power delivery is smooth and progressive as the 5.0 V8 climbs up the rev range and up through the gears effortlessly. Steering and brakes feel solid whilst being reassuringly smooth and progressive which inspires confidence and security on the road. This is a classic GT which feels ready to cover continents comfortably at speed and with no drama.
