• Unique, Nautic Blue Colour • Interior in great condition
Background
Porsche produced the 928 in 1978 as a replacement for the 911. The design brief was to build a supercar to cross continents in comfort and style. Over the next 17 years it was subject to constant improvement until they arrived at the GTS version which is the ultimate.
The GTS’s were only made for 3 years and the economic climate at the time curtailed sales which now makes them quite rare. This is a genuine GTS version and is a rare truly awesome Grand Tourer.
This example was originally purchased from Cameron’s the Porsche dealer in Perth. The Glasgow owner ordered it to be supplied in Mercedes Nautic Blue.
Having previously bought several new Porsche’s , Cameron’s were happy to oblige him and this unique colour is listed on the Porsche build certificate. He kept the car until 2009. During his ownership it clocked up 160,000 miles on regular mechanically stress free commutes from Glasgow to London. Not a problem as these were designed for half a million kilometres.
The full-service history did not come with the car but his son has confirmed its regular fastidious maintenance and managed to obtain what records did exist from Porsche Glasgow. They are incomplete but indicate that it was put in for any work that was needed. The overall condition supports this assertion and will not disappoint.
Around 2009 the original owner traded the car in for a Bentley and the car then went to a collector and restorer. As far as the current owners is aware he didn’t use the vehicle but carried out extensive work. This included a glass out respray with all new rubbers, stainless steel exhaust system, new cup wheels, new spot lights, ABS module, brake pads and much more
The interior of beige leather seats and navy dash is in brilliant condition suggesting that in the previous owners commutes he travelled alone so the seats have rarely been sat in.
As you can see from the images, the interior is in good condition in the lovely contrasting colours of Beige and Navy Blue. We are told that with the exception of the boot release switch which is not working, and the Air Conditioning system requiring a re-gas, everything works as it should and there are no problems. It certainly is a comfortable place to sit.
As previously mentioned, due to the unusual colour choice, you probably won't see another 928 In this colour, due to it being a Mercedes colour. With that, bodywork looks to be in really good condition.
There are no obvious rust points over the car and the paint work certain doesn’t resemble a car that’s covered 160,000 miles. It’s a very pretty car with its wide rear end. The only thing that is noticeable is the paint blemish on the NSR wheel arch, just above the bumper (please see the images).
The engine is strong and was smoke free when the car was being moved around for the images and maintained a stable oil pressure. Gearbox changes all operate nicely when warm.
The wheels are now very rare Cup wheels with correct offset for this model. These are immaculate and all tyres are good N rated. There doesn’t seem to be any obvious signs of rust on the paint work. The current owner, we are told has carried out the following:
- Timing belt and water pump - In-tank fuel pump and filter - New uprated aluminium radiator - Air conditioning compressor and dryer - Fuel lines - New battery - Front brake back plates and rear parcel shelf cover - Larger collapsible spare wheel and a separate spare cup 1 to use instead of the collapsible.
Other work included oil service, flex plate was checked and released, deactivated the troublesome tyre pressure system and the air pump disconnected as it serves no purpose in the UK.
The car also comes with lots of various genuine parts, and the vendor advises that a full Porsche supplied service kit is included with the sale of the car.
These cars always grab attention. They don’t look like a “normal” Porsche, and that works in its favour. It was a very “out there” design from Porsche, which is arguably one of the most easily recognisable brands in the world, due to their only subtle design changes for decades.
The car is full of character and has been on many a road-trip, from Glasgow to London a few years back. And that is what this car is all about, being a grand tourer… the rare breed of supercar that you can drive for hours over to France and feel fresh the other side and look forward to the return journey.
Accompany that with the – park it in a car park, walk away and turn and look at the car – styling, then this really does have it all. A fantastic opportunity to own an absolute classic.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
