The seller offers for sale this 1977 Porsche 928, powered by a 4.5-litre V8 engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in the rare Lindgrün Metallic factory colour and riding on 16-inch Porsche alloy wheels, the car is fitted with a full black leather interior presented in tidy condition, including a dashboard that remains intact and free from the cracking often seen on cars of this age. Some history is present in the form of service booklets, together with a verified mileage history (NAP). As a precaution, the timing belt and engine oil have been replaced, and the car has recently passed its APK inspection without any remarks, meaning it will become exempt from periodic testing as a classic from next year. The car is offered for sale by a Dutch Porsche specialist.
Introduced in 1977, the year this example was built, the Porsche 928 marked a bold new direction for the brand: a front-engined, water-cooled V8 grand tourer conceived by some within Porsche as a potential long-term successor to the air-cooled 911, though in the end the two models were sold alongside one another for years to come. The 928 was the first Porsche to combine a front-mounted V8 with a rear-mounted transaxle gearbox, giving the car a near-perfect weight distribution, and its striking, pop-up-headlight styling helped it become the only sports car ever to win the European Car of the Year award, taking the title in 1978.
With its V8 power and manual transmission, a combination the majority of 928s were not specified with, this car offers a genuinely engaging driving experience alongside effortless long-distance touring ability. The spacious, well-appointed cabin gave the 928 a usability that set it apart from more focused sports cars of the era, while the low, wide stance and distinctive styling remain unmistakably of their time. For a buyer looking for a documented, manual-gearbox 928 in a genuinely rare colour, this early example is well worth a closer look.
