Description

This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .Don’t miss this opportunity and become the new owner of this timeless ‘early model’ Porsche 928. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.

The 928 is a sports coupé built in a special way. In the front is a water-cooled aluminium V8 and the gearbox is placed above the rear axle which is called a transaxle and ensures a better weight distribution. The rear-wheel suspension is made in such a way that the rear wheels also turn slightly in fast bends. The bonnet, front wings and doors are made of aluminium. The body is entirely galvanised. The front, the rear and the sill protectors are made of plastic. Everything else is electric or pneumatic and the car features automatic climate control with air conditioning. In some cases, the entire interior is fitted with leather (option), which is also the case in this 928. This is a technically complex vehicle which is obvious from the more than 1000 plug connections and 3 kilometres of electrical wiring inside the car, unique at the time.

When Porsche brought this car to market in 1977, it was technically very advanced for that period and it was even meant to be the successor of the famous Porsche 911. Only 600 copies are still registered in the Netherlands, which means it’s quite a rarity on Dutch roads.

This is a Porsche 928 in a very original condition, which is quite unique for these cars. The Porsche still has the original engine and transmission (matching numbers). The Porsche’s A1 Schwarz original colour code paintwork is entirely new (the car has recently been repainted in October 2020 in the Netherlands). The original interior is still in a neat, slightly used condition (as depicted). The bottom looks solid and the bottom plates still have the original coating and are rust-free. The engine idles nicely at 900 rpm, the car shifts smoothly and powerfully through all gears and brakes properly.

The ‘early’ Porsche 928 is becoming rarer and more sought after. So don't miss this chance to become the new owner of this classic Porsche.
