Porsche's intended replacement for the 911 had an all-alloy V8 attached to a rear-mounted gearbox, the galvanised body had aluminium doors and bonnet and the body-coloured bumpers were plastic - all pretty radical for its time. The 928 was launched to a fanfare and surprised many by being named European Car of the Year, an award that traditionally went to worthy-but-dull family hatchbacks.
Critics immediately recognised the advances that the 928 had made over the 911 and the car was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic and it was comfortable. With the 928, Porsche created a serious, long-distance, grand touring car that could also tackle twisting B-roads with ease thanks to super-direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Coming of age and perceived as a compliment to the 911 rather than a rival, the 928 is now rightly appreciated, especially those well-maintained cars with low mileages.
A collector-grade right-hand drive example of the 1990 Porsche 928 S4, this remarkable automatic transmission example has covered just 6,549 miles from new. Previously part of the Royal Household of Brunei’s esteemed collection, it was imported into the UK in 2017 and was then subject to a meticulous recommissioning, with over £17,000 spent at the time on works including cambelt replacement, tyres, heater servicing, and ABS wiring loom refurbishment.
Finished in classic Grand Prix White with a contrasting black leather interior accented by red piping, the 928 combines understated elegance with driver-focused functionality. Factory-fitted equipment includes air conditioning, electrically operated windows and mirrors, electrically adjustable front seats, and cruise control. The 928 was last serviced at 5,063 miles by Porsche specialist Project Nine Engineering, who also carried out the cambelt replacement.
Offered in outstanding condition from a significant private collection, this 928 S4 represents a rare opportunity to acquire an amazingly low-mileage, historically significant example of Porsche’s iconic Grand Tourer.
