It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious long-distance grand-touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease, thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Many road testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928’s grip. Porsche continuously developed their range-topper throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987, which differed slightly from the earlier Series cars with its smoothed-off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment and a 5-litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp. 1989 saw further development with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful 5.0-litre V8 capable of a creamy 326bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a 5-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a more sporty driving experience. This 928 GT is one of the desirable 5-speed ‘dog-leg’ manual gearbox variants, finished in Slate Grey metallic coachwork with black leather interior, electric sunroof and electric windows. Offered in excellent condition with original handbooks and service books, this French delivered example has covered 104,000km from new. Supplied with a comprehensive service history with recent expenditure by Porsche specialists DMA of Nanterre and Virages Automobiles of Courbevoie, the NOVA process has begun. The option codes for the car include the following CO5 – France, 418- Side protection mouldings, 474- Sports shock absorbers, 650- Sun-moon-roof, 935- Draped leather rear seats and 980- Draped leather front seats. With a history file that includes the most recent invoices, in French naturally, and original book packs this delightful car has an understated elegance not often found in GT cars of the period.
