Registration No: H567 JDE
Chassis No: WPOZZ292ZMS801543
MOT: August 2023
Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche's front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different to the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company's first foray into grand touring territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award.
'H567 JDE' was originally delivered to Japan in 1991 and is finished in the rare combination of Amazon Green (Dark Blue Metallic) bodywork and a Can-Can Red hide interior trim. It was ordered with protective side mouldings, a top-tinted windscreen and a leather dashboard as optional extras. In 2015 the car was imported into the UK and has only had 2 previous UK keepers. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms the original details of the car.
The Porsche's comprehensive UK history file shows that it received a lot of attention since 2015 with invoices totalling over £6850 on maintenance including cambelt, brakes and discs, suspension dampers, replacement of aged hoses and various other items. The current vendor has had the car fitted with a 928 sport ceramic catalyst and stainless X-pipe imported from the USA which, according to him, add a further 30hp. The original exhaust is included in the sale. Furthermore, the tyres were upgraded to Pirelli 'N' specification and a high-end audio system was also fitted.
The vendor considers the paintwork to be in 'really good condition' while, following a recent service, he judges all the mechanical 'to be in very good order'. At the time of consignment the 928 displayed a total of just over 87,000 kilometres, which roughly equates to c.54,000 miles. It comes complete with a full toolkit, additional service history, owner's books, a collection of invoices and current V5C.
