It was originally the UK press car - THE928S - and I am the 3d owner after Porsche GB and A Nother... It is just being finished - a nut and bolt restoration, with the underside back to bare metal and everything else blasted, replated/painted and put back together, freshly rebuild engine, suspension, calipers, new carpets, interior etc. The car is driveable and presents superbly on the outside, but believe it or not - the speaker grilles on the doors/rear quarters have cracked with age and have been a massive problem through the restoration process. They are NLA from Porsche and it took ages to figure a solution. The car is booked with a 928 electrical specialist for the middle of this month who has found a way to restore them and will re-fit the OEM Blaupunkt Symphony that I had rebuild by another specialist. Once that's done, I would be delighted to see it back in a magazine, following its first appearance back in 1993... In the meantime, I need to subscribe to Strada - heard only great things. Would I get the issues from N1 or will it start with the current one?
Was it Guards red? If so I think it’s the same manual one I did a back to back mag feature with my manual S2 for the Porsche Post club mag back in the day. If so, I’ll dig the mag out and post some photos.

Polar Silver. I know the red GTS 5spd - it's a 1992 Model Year - a stunning car - it's back in a magazine at the moment...

We used to have a very storied 928 that sat about the farm rotting for about 15 years after a friend abandoned it there. Used to run on the number plate 0800 so presumably if anyone has seen it they’ll remember it. It was grey but had originally been guards red iirc. Eventually it got sold for a pittance in the early 2000s.

It had spent some time upside down after a funny story I won’t share in public.

This 4200 CC was only bid to £7k last week and is now avail for its low estimate of £12k. I had a quick look and seemed pretty solid. I think an offer of £10k would probably get it.

To be fair, a year ago it would’ve been a £7k car. Asking prices have shot up post-COVID.

that does look like a real nice fun motor for summer, just googled it and seems well made as well
