Highlights

- Well-stamped service record
- Over €20,000 spent on maintenance and repairs by current owner
- Rare "Schwanenhals Equalizer" Blaupunkt audio system
The Appeal
The Porsche 928 S represented a significant evolution of the original grand tourer, with its enlarged 4.7-litre V8 producing 310 bhp and delivering strong acceleration from 3,000 rpm. This particular example, finished in Sapphire Blue Metallic with a deep black leather interior, offers the blend of performance and luxury that defined Porsche's flagship GT car of the era.
Having been enjoyed by just one former registered keeper in South Africa before the current owner brought it to Germany in 2016, this 928 S presents a compelling ownership proposition. With its fully stamped service record, comprehensive maintenance history, and careful stewardship, this example appears to have been very well maintained throughout its life. The specification includes several desirable features including a sunroof and the rare Blaupunkt "Schwanenhals Equalizer" audio system, making this a particularly well-equipped example of this increasingly collectable Porsche model.
