Only 44 RHD 5-spd GTS were registered in the UK between 1992 and 1995. I spoke to Hexagon who told me the car sold for £50k, but also kind of admitted it was not as nice as it was made to look in the pictures. I know the whereabouts of 4 GTS 5-spds. Two of them are definitely not for sale and two could be, but the price would not be far off the Hex car. Having owned an S2 Auto, a S2 5-spd, a GT and now a GTS 5-spd, there is no argument - the GTS is the king of them all. The only other 928 that can tempt me is an early, preferably LHD spoilerless example - a 1977 or 1979 would be nice.
many thanks for relaying this actuality, it appears the early and late cars are really taking off. I've never seen a 5-spd GTS on the road or at an event, they are certainly rare !Bo_apex said:
Most enjoyable read, thanks for link. The author's observations of the synergy between iconic film, car and woman is a powerful reminder of when Porsche got it right, they got it REALLY right

Well I did say normal income. I was very close to buying a one owner low miles RS500 Cosworth back in 1990. What would that sell for now ? I suppose if I'd had that £33m rollover ticket I'd pay the going rate today, but back in the real world it's still a £20k car to me.
Good luck finding a straight one for 20K !!!
it was a private repossession, but yes, the government are clearly missing a trick Cheburator mk2 said:

The GTS 5-spd dynamically is the better car than a 964 Turbo, yet a 964 Turbo is £100k...
It is also about ability to put money into it, rather than desire - if £50k for you or me on a GTS seems ludicrous, I know enough people who see it as an absolute bargain in light of the contents of their garage, which may easily topple £1m.
I am still kicking myself for not buying a Lambo Diablo when they were in the £70k bargain bin area. Now they are £150k they are beyond my means. Can I see their prices coming down before I cannot afford one anymore? No way...

Drivers seat very worn/creased and other areas look a tad worn for the mileage. I would go through the history forensically to ensure it backs up the mileage..
Agreed ! That said the PO could have been heavy-set and somewhat clumsy. I bought a 911 Targa with similar interior wear and tear despite the history records stacking up - it made for a good point of negotiation. Somewhat surprised they haven't brought the interior upto A1 given the price. In it's favour is rare full-full leather, which is a lovely place to spend time. Cheib said:
Pretty sure I saw your car in the Arsenal player's car park at London Colney many years ago when I was lucky enough to have a "behind closed doors"...there was a 550 with a "DB 10" or something like that in the car park. Split rim alloys IIRC ?
That makes sense, a good friend of mine used to host the squad's peak-performance classes at nearby Champney's. He said there was usually a sprinkling of 550's and 928's arriving in the car park. Mind you, this was back when they won the double !

Came in as a part exchange. Straight through an MOT and off to the auction at the end of the month. Sounded bloody good too

And look at how the tide has turned - a 928 5-spd commands a significant premium over an equivalent Auto car. .
