The cambelts and diff lock pump were replaced in 2018, less than 500 miles ago. This lovely, rare right hand drive Porsche 928 GT is fitted with the desirable five-speed ‘dog-leg’ manual gearbox and has recently been repainted and the leather seats repadded. 1989 saw further development with the launch of the GT model, featuring a more powerful five litre engine creating 326bhp, but more importantly, the introduction of a five-speed manual gearbox for those who wanted a sportier driving experience. Porsche continuously developed the 928 throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987 which differed slightly from the earlier cars with its smoothed-off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment, and a five litre version of the V8 engine developing 316bhp. Many road testers found that their nerve ran out long before the 928’s grip. 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, fifty-fifty weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. It handled, it was quick, it looked fantastic, and it was comfortable. Critics immediately recognised the advances inherent in the 928 over the 911 and it was universally praised as one of the greatest GT cars of all time.
