PICKED OUT FROM THE CLASSIFIEDS: PORSCHE 928

After many years of being worth very little, of late the V8 coupe has been fetching over £50,000 at international auctions. But that’s for pristine examples – what does £10,000 worth of 928 look like?

Used car dealer Allwood Automobiles in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire was able to show us, with its 1982, X-registered 928S offered for £9995, that model having a 4.7-litre engine, originally delivered to then franchised Porsche dealer Charles Ivey in Fulham but soon exported to New Zealand. It had been in dry storage there for 15 years prior to its return to the UK in 2018, after which it has undergone a re-commissioning of brakes, belts and so on. And Allwood described it as a ‘solid original rust-free example’. Mileage was stated as 92,900, and if you wanted to take on the challenge that 928 ownership can be, this might be a good starting point.
