Introduction

Combining effortless, high-speed performance with refined luxury – the ultimate evolution of Porsche’s V8 grand tourer.
Introduced in the late 1970s as Porsche’s vision of the future, the Porsche 928 marked a significant departure from the marque’s rear-engined roots. Originally developed as a potential successor to the legendary 911, the 928 aimed to combine the performance of a sports car with the refinement and comfort of a grand tourer – a bold move that showcased Porsche’s engineering ambition. With its sleek, aerodynamic design, distinctive pop-up headlights, and muscular stance, the 928 looked every bit the futuristic sports GT. Under the bonnet, it featured a front-mounted, water-cooled V8 engine paired with a rear transaxle for near-perfect weight distribution and balanced handling. This layout offered a driving experience that was smooth, powerful, and composed, ideal for high-speed touring as well as spirited drives.
The last evolution, in 1992, the 928 GTS offered a more powerful 5.4-litre V8 engine with 8 balance weights instead of 6 to enhance smoothness. This enabled a top speed of more than 170 mph. The GTS engine was smoother and more flexible than its predecessor while being quieter, smoother, and easier to drive. Changes to the chassis also included a wider rear track, larger front brakes, new-style alloy wheels, and updated bodywork with flared rear arches, a body-coloured rear spoiler, and cup-designed door mirrors.
In 2027, the Porsche 928 will celebrate its 50th birthday.
Coming fresh from ~26 years ownership, this car, Neville the owner tells us, was one of only 148 right-hand-drive models made for the final commemorative edition following the S4, and as the most powerful 928, it was given the GTS badge.
This listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Neville the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi Neville, the last service was in 2023. It seems that at almost every service, there has been additional work needed or the garage has highlighted during their inspection. Have you had the car inspected to see what if any remedial work the car needs now, 3 years later please? Lovely looking car by the way !
Hi Neville. I see the service history and the recent cambelt work. What other work has been done on the car. Particularly:* torque tube bearings
* transaxle work
* suspension bushes
* engine mounts
* air-conditioning overhaul
* radiator and cooling system
* steering rack
* electrical items (seat motors, pop-up lights, sunroof, climate control)
Details of work done, dates and costs would be very helpful. Are invoices available?
Hi Neville, For the registration for a UK plate could you provide the needed IOM documentation? I note that to register for a UK plate it needs a current UK MOT, which n checking it has neither an MOT, last issued 21/03/2019 nor tax. Would you advise if different and if so the
MOT details?
