Description
Porsche 928 of 1977, European model, German original, delivered new on 11 August 1977.
V8 engine developing 240 hp. "Matching numbers", the Porsche Heritage birth certificate is present in the file.
89, 000 km on the odometer.
5-speed manual gearbox, gears shift very well and the clutch operates perfectly.
This example is among the first 300 units built, highly sought after by collectors because it does not have the American-mandated front wing indicators and consequently these early examples were the most faithful to the original design as envisaged by Anatole Lapine, the genius who spawned the 928.
The vehicle remains in excellent original condition, never restored and does not show its age, clearly cherished and well maintained. Testament to this is the sublime Pasha interior in excellent condition. The car runs perfectly and regularly and has its MOT valid until September 2026.
Recent work includes the replacement of the timing belt, water pump and overhaul of the braking system. This 928 "ticks" every box and, unlike the 911s, you don’t see them on every street corner!
Delivered with its Dutch registration title (since 1986).
Viewable by appointment in Mouscron at the Franco-Belgian border near Tourcoing and 15 minutes from Lille.
Delivery possible to mainland France by specialist carrier at cost price.
General notes:
The 1977 Porsche 928 is far more than just a car: it’s a timeless work of art, a masterpiece of engineering and design. As the first car from the marque to be equipped with a front-mounted V8, it stands out for its boldness and forward-thinking stance. With its aluminium and galvanised steel bodywork, its flowing lines and iconic retractable headlights, it embodies the futuristic elegance of the late 1970s. Furthermore, the build quality of this model — Porsche’s top-end offering at the time — was impeccable, as evidenced by the reassuring sound when you slam the doors! Wasn’t it also voted Car of the Year 1978?
The interior of this 928, clothed in the legendary Pasha pattern, is a true homage to the bold design of the era. The black-and-white geometric motif, inspired by optical illusions, gives the cabin a retro yet sophisticated atmosphere. This aesthetic choice underscores Porsche’s meticulous attention to detail and customisation.
Under the bonnet, the 4. 5-litre V8 develops 240 horsepower, offering dynamic driving and unmatched comfort for the era, making the 928 a true luxury Grand Tourer. With its revolutionary Weissach rear suspension with swing-axle and almost perfect weight distribution, it guarantees exceptional road manners, marrying sportiness and refinement.
Even today, the Porsche 928 of 1977 remains a symbol of exclusivity and passion, prized by collectors and enthusiasts of fine machinery. This example, with its iconic Pasha interior, embodies Porsche’s visionary spirit: a perfect balance between performance, design and innovation.
