The Appeal
With the 928 S4, Porsche went all in. The rejuvenation of the 911 had threatened the 928 project, but the much-revised car was a clear statement of intent. Smoothed and improved aesthetics and a bigger, more brutal 5litre V8 pumping out 310bhp put the 928 firmly at the front of the GT firmament.
The 911 may be the go-to classic Porsche, but aficionados know that the 928 has considerable charms of its own. Together with a luxurious, comfortable and even practical cabin, the impeccably built 928 is not just Autobahn-quick, it’s great on the twisties too.
For all these reasons, good examples are becoming sought after. This early S4 looks like it fits the bill. Finished in a stand-out combination of ice white over black, it is a pleasingly factory standard car with an excellent history and maintenance file. The service book shows a run of 17 continuous stamps from a mix of main dealers and highly regarded specialists like Autofarm.
This is a car that would work equally as a distinctive daily or potent weekend weapon. With its long MOT it is ready to deliver on one or both.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
