92,000 Miles - 1 Owner Beautiful & Irreplaceable First registered on 1st January 1985 by Swinford Porsche of Stourbidge in the West Midlands as one of the dealership demonstrators, most likely belonging to senior mgt. At five months old it was sold to a Mr Smith Managing Director of a successful business, a man in his fifties and lifelong Porsche enthusiast he used his S2 regular and cherished it ever since being in his possession that whole time. Come 2007 ill health prevented any further use at which point it was carefully looked after by his son with minimal use though proper care. Now for the very first time in its 33 year history is offered to the market, remarkably original and unspoiled the likes of which many of us will never see again, a true time warp machine. Details such as original supplied reg number B928 NNX remain with the car having never had any other number, genuine supplying dealer plates present, Blaupunkt stereo, Swinford Porsche decal on rear screen, dogleg manual windscreen decal, details that are increasingly hard if not impossible to replicate. This a matching numbers vehicle with original engine chassis and gearbox. Its a UK supplied C16 car. The many images convey possibly one of the finest looking S2 cars left, its just beautiful.

This 928 has never been in a bump, all panel gaps are perfect and the doors open and shut beautifully. Its never had any of the panels removed, the pros of buying a one owner car are many, a totally unabused example.

This specific car is now hugely desirable, the 4.7 S2 with dogleg manual gearbox is an unforgettable model and moving forward one of the more collectible. For this model year the gearbox synchromesh was changed to Borg Warner design with a shorter gear lever, improving drive ability on manual shifting. As such this is truly a 928 one must create opportunities to use, The 4.7 eight cylinder is a fantastic unit developing a considerable 310 bhp however it is well known and documented that these units were actually pushing out closer to 330 bhp. The manual box brings the car to life, allowing the big engine to breathe, slurring through the gears offers a whole new dimension to driving, its a genuine muscle car experience and remains special every time you turn the key. The S2 for me personally is the best compromise between the early and later cars. It's also the best looking of the 928 range in my view, with more aggression than the early 928 but less bloated than the S4 and GT. Also the engine is slightly less complex in maintenance terms, which is a major plus, this in manual guise is the sweet spot, the manual experience is a world apart from the auto. Available with lots of original documentation plus the genuine spare wheel with plastic over cover in the boot alongside a complete toolkit. The alloys are the correct designated rim specific to the car. I have just fitted and balanced a new matching set of Vredstein performance tyres and had a 4 wheel alignment carried out. This car rides and handles incredibly. Summary Perfect as an addition to a classic collection or for the weekend getaway drive, this impeccable S2 delivers a unique Porsche driving and ownership experience. The condition is that of an unmolested car which is a rare 928 thing, to ay this one is beautiful would be a very obvious statement, its seeking the right owner with the maturity to continue looking after it properly, its a piece of history.
