A rare and engaging early modern classic grand tourer, this is an Australian-delivered Porsche 928 equipped with the sought-after five-speed manual transmission. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.5-litre V8, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. This Australian-market example passed compliance in November 1980 and has reportedly been with the seller and fifth owner for about four months and has spent time in storage. The odometer indicates 183,00 km, though this is not warranted and the seller states that the tachometer works intermittently. Build year: 1980 This 928 is finished in the quintessential hue of Guards Red, over a tan leather interior, featuring a brown dashboard, door card sections, and carpets. It rides on a set of 16-inch ‘Teledial’ alloy wheels fitted with Hankook Optimo tyres. Equipment includes pop-up headlights, a rear screen wiper, electric windows, an electric sunroof, air conditioning, a VDO analogue clock, and electrically operated door mirrors. It has been fitted with a Kenwood CD stereo with USB and auxiliary inputs. The car comes with some documentation and one key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: ccratch over left guard, small area of paint deterioration (approx. 3cm) near the hatchback glass on the rear driver’s side. Bumpers faded as this has never been painted. The complete cabin has been retrimmed, including German leather upholstery for the seats, a refurbished dashboard and binnacle, console, carpets, vinyl panels, and a new factory-spec Porsche clock. When making a rapid downshift into 2nd gear, a synchro crunch can occasionally occur. If revs are allowed to drop briefly before selecting 2nd, the gear engages smoothly without grinding. (2nd gear never pops out). The seller states that the most recent maintenance was performed in June 2026, when the ignition barrel was rebuilt, the cluster was fixed, and the gearbox serviced by Eurohaus South Sydney. In October 2025 at around an indicated 182,000 km by Pit Exchange Mortdale, which included the fuel injectors, injector seals, and filter being replaced. The seller states that in August 2024, technicians at Caringbah Auto Repairs & Service replaced the spark plugs, fitted a new fuel pump, replaced the fan belt, and reconditioned the fuel distributor and warm-up regulator. The seller also states that in March 2022, technicians at Abel Auto Electrical Pty Ltd fitted a new clock, replaced the steering wheel with wiring repairs as required, fitted new lightbulbs, repaired light connections in the rear of the car, and carried out rewiring to rectify no power being found at the lights.
