1985 Porsche 928 S2 Manual | Former Chris Harris Registered Keeper | Extensive History £24, 995 – Sensible Offers Considered 1985 | 104, 500 miles | 4. 7-litre V8 | Manual | Black over Black Leather An exceptional opportunity to acquire a desirable manual Porsche 928 S2 with fascinating provenance, extensive restoration history and significant recent specialist expenditure. This striking 1985 example, registration [registration removed] LCP, is finished in black with a black leather interior and has covered approximately 104, 500 miles. The car drives beautifully and offers everything that makes the Porsche 928 such an enjoyable grand tourer: effortless V8 performance, superb engineering and unmistakable 1980s styling. Documented Chris Harris Provenance One of the most interesting aspects of this particular Porsche is its connection to renowned motoring journalist and former Top Gear presenter Chris Harris. The history file contains an original historic DVLA V5C registration document naming Chris Harris as a former registered keeper. Further supporting evidence includes photographs of this exact vehicle, displaying registration [registration removed] LCP, published on Chris Harris's social media account during 2016. One post from March 2016 features the Porsche alongside another classic car, accompanied by the caption: "It's all about [registration removed]. Always has been. Always will be." This documented connection adds a fascinating dimension to an already desirable classic Porsche. Extensive Restoration History The vehicle comes with a written record of restoration work from Porsche 928 specialist MR928, detailing substantial mechanical and cosmetic improvements. Mechanical work documented includes: - Engine rebuild involving cylinder head removal and refurbishment - Replacement piston rings - Replacement valves and valve stem seals - Replacement engine gaskets and seals - Replacement clutch - Replacement power steering rack - Replacement clutch master and slave cylinders - Replacement cam belt and ancillary belts Cosmetic and interior restoration includes: - Full repaint in 2014 - Paintwork flattened and polished - Underside resealed and wax-oiled - Replacement windscreen - Dashboard retrimmed in black leather - Gear lever retrimmed - Interior reconditioned - Period-style Bluetooth radio The specialist's written restoration report forms part of the vehicle's history file.

Mechanically, it performs extremely well, with the characteristic smooth V8 power delivery that makes the 928 such a rewarding grand tourer. The bodywork is in great overall condition, although there are a couple of localised rust marks, the rear bumper as a few cracks in the paintwork & the front spoiler could do with a refresh there's also some age-related wear to the interior. These are mentioned for transparency and can be discussed during viewing. This is an attractive, usable classic Porsche rather than a concours example. A Special Classic Porsche The manual 928 S2 is an increasingly appreciated model, combining the distinctive styling of the early 928 with the character of Porsche's 4. 7-litre V8. Finding an example with this combination of restoration documentation, recent specialist maintenance and an interesting former registered keeper is particularly appealing.
