1979 PORSCHE 928 Serial number: 928 910 025 33 French registration Only 23,000 km The first Porsche to be fitted with a front-mounted V8, the 928 was produced from 1978 to 1995. Its particularly innovative design gave it a modern look for its time, reflecting the aesthetic trends of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its easily recognizable headlamps contribute to the car's unique style. The 928 enjoyed a certain success, particularly in the USA, the market for which it was primarily intended, and benefited from an astonishing longevity. The car also enjoyed a moment of glory when raced at Le Mans by driver Raymond Boutinaud in the 1980s. This example dates from 1979 and is in good overall condition, with only 23,000 original km confirmed by Histovec. Presented with a manual gearbox and in a beautiful configuration, this 92st is one of the rare early models. This car was bought new by its previous owners and only partially used. Long immobilized, it was brought out of its slumber in 2021 and put back on the road. We recommend a mechanical overhaul. 1979 PORSCHE 928 Serial number: 928 910 025 33 French registration Only 23,000 km The first Porsche to be fitted with a front-mounted V8, the 928 was produced from 1978 to 1995.
