1987 Porsche 928 S4: Gorgeous, 38k Orig. Mile, 2 Owner, Sunroof 928 S4 on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is a beautiful, 38k original mile,
mechanically strong, two owner 1987 Porsche 928 S4, finished is its factory
correct and ceaselessly tasteful Diamond Blue Metallic over Navy Blue leather. Ordered
new by its original owner in Columbus, Ohio, he would own the car for the
ensuing 24 years, always keeping it garaged and maintained and always using it
as a weekend driver. In 2011 he sold the car to an acquaintance, a gentleman
with a large Porsche collection that owned a regional automotive parts
franchise. The second owner had known of the car for years, as he’d sold many
of the parts it needed for routine maintenance. In the two plus years he owned
the car, he rarely put many miles it, and consequently the original 38k miles
showing on the odometer is correct and documentable via Carfax and the car’s
stamped service booklet. When the 928 first hit the showroom floor, it was
absolutely the car to have. As Porsche’s first seriously expensive GT car, the
928 drew the ire of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide upon its announcement. But as
soon as they realized it wasn’t built to replace the beloved 911 (just to compliment
it in an enthusiast’s garage), opinions changed. A big V8 Autobahn bomber, the
928 was far more civilized than the 911, boasting big comfortable seats, power
everything, usually an automatic transmission and all the Star Wars/Reagan era
futuristic design elements that a successful 1980’s man could ask for. From
Cannes to Beverly Hills, if you were somebody you would have walked into a dealership
and bought a 928 S4. Whether making a vacation trip from Milan to Monaco or Los
Angeles to San Francisco on business, the 928 was (and arguably still could
be), the car of choice, providing a wonderful drive quality without frustrating
your wife. It’s a true GT cruiser; extremely comfortable with a V8 that has
great torque, making smooth, enjoyable driving effortless. Furthermore, in
following with Porsche’s legendary legacy, the handling is great and the looks
are timeless. The Diamond Blue Metallic finish is in excellent
condition, deep, lustrous and marred only by the most negligible of
imperfections, none of which are significant enough to register in the
pictures. The car’s body is entirely straight, free of dings or evidence of
body work, and all of the panel fits and gaps are consistent and factory
correct. The glass and rubber is excellent original shape, as are the original
alloy wheels, wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s
interior is equally as clean, the navy leather seats and carpets showing only
minimal wear. The power sunroof, power seats, power windows, power rear hatch
locking device and all of the other electronics work exactly as they should,
and the car retains its original, functional Blaupunkt Reno radio. For that
matter, everything on the car is stock – it hasn’t been modified in any way. The car is also excellent mechanically, feeling like a
tight, well-maintained, 38k mile example should. Despite its low miles, the car
was always regularly driven and serviced and always garaged and professionally
detailed. It starts effortlessly, producing a low rumble to announce its 316hp
5.0L V8. It’s smooth through all of the gears, pulling with incredible force
when asked. With its quiet cabin and even drive quality, it’s very easy to look
down at your gauges on the freeway and realize you’re doing 95mph when you
assumed you were only a hair over 70. Despite the fact it’s a front engine V8,
it’s still a Porsche and it performs with poise in the canyons as well as on the
freeway. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the

personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability

Jaguar Land Rover seeks to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, VW SUVs
Fri, Nov 20 2020You wouldn’t know it was about Jags and Lambos, to judge by its rather dry name: In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems. But thatÂ’s the complaint Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc filed on Thursday to block U.S. imports of Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen sport utility vehicles it says are using its patented Terrain Response technology without permission. Jaguar Land Rover, a British carmaker owned by IndiaÂ’s Tata Motors Ltd., said in its filing with the U.S. International Trade Commission that the technology helps negotiate a “broad range of surfaces” and is a key feature in JaguarÂ’s F-Pace and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. “JLR seeks to protect itself and its United States operations from companies that have injected infringing products into the U.S. market that incorporate, without any license from JLR, technology developed by JLR and protected by its patent,” JaguarÂ’s lawyer, Matthew Moore, said in the filing. Representatives of Volkswagen didnÂ’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the complaint. Jaguar wants to block imports of PorscheÂ’s Cayenne; LamborghiniÂ’s Urus; AudiÂ’s Q8, Q7, Q5, A6 Allroad and e-tron vehicles; and VWÂ’s Tiguan vehicles. It said there are plenty of other luxury midsize SUV and compact crossover vehicles to meet consumer demand if the SUVs are banned from the U.S. Still, the premium Porsche and Audi lines provide much of the profit VW is using to fund its investments in technology for electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles and further innovations. In addition to the four brands, Volkswagen Group owns other upscale nameplates, including Bentley and Bugatti. The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency that investigates complaints of unfair trade practices, like patent infringement. It canÂ’t award damages but does have the power to block products from entering the U.S. Owners of patents and trade secrets like it because it can work faster than the federal district courts -- the typical investigation is completed in 15 to 18 months. But Jaguar also filed patent lawsuits against the companies in federal courts in Delaware and New Jersey, seeking cash compensation for the use of the technology. Those cases are likely to be put on hold once the trade commission launches its investigation. The case is In the Matter of Certain Vehicle Control Systems, 337-3508, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington).
Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing
Thu, 09 May 2013In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.
Noted Porsche collector Magnus Walker learns what a TED Talk is firsthand
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Porsche collector Magnus Walker has the name and looks of a Viking, but once he starts talking about his life story and what drives him, he's an absolutely fascinating guy. Walker recently gave a Ted Talk at a Tedx conference at UCLA and claimed he didn't really understand the idea behind the speeches. You would never know it, though. Walker is as gifted a speaker as he is a talented restorer of some seriously cool Porsches.
Walker's talk is titled "Go with Your Gut Feeling," and it amounts to his autobiography. He recounts his birth in England, dropping out of school at 15 and moving to the US at 19. Once in Los Angeles, he started selling second-hand clothes and grew it into a fashion business.
Of course, what makes him interesting to us is his passion for Porsches. He fell in love with them when he saw a white 911 as a child at the Earl's Court Motor Show in England, but Walker waited until the '90s to buy his first one. From there he started racing and eventually restoring them. Since the documentary Urban Outlaw about him was released, Magnus has become famous for the love of the brand.
