1986 Porsche 928 S4

Highlights

Presentable car with MOT
Described by seller as a restoration project
Interior in good condition
Recent independent health check
Driven 200 miles by seller in December

The Appeal

The 928 is emerging from the 911’s shadow as enthusiasts rediscover its multifold abilities. In the annals of effortlessly powerful 2+2 GTs, the 928 can mix it easily with the very best from Ferrari, Aston Martin and Maserati.

The S4 gained the later 5litre version of the V8 - good for over 300bhp - plus some aesthetic and luxury trim improvements. These very well-built cars make excellent classics because they are so usable - and perfect for long-distance tours like the NC500 or across the Continent.

With interest growing, this 1986 S4 offers a tantalising opportunity for the enthusiast. It was bought by the seller in December as a project after 13 years in storage. In typical Porsche fashion it covered the 200 miles home without fault. He is now selling it as a project due to a change of circumstances.

Running, presentable, with a good interior and MOT to April 2024, it looks like the sort of project that could be chipped away at as you enjoy it.
