1993 Porsche 928 GTS

Information and History

1993 Porsche 928 GTS with only approximately 110,000 km on the odometer

This elegant Porsche 928 GTS was first registered in Dortmund on October 5, 1993. It was imported to Sweden on June 8, 1998, and has since had six owners, including the current owner.

The car’s low mileage can be explained by it being off the road for an extended period, from November 28, 2007, to August 25, 2015, at which time the odometer read 107,043 km. The current owner acquired the car in 2016 and began a comprehensive overhaul of the vehicle in 2017, which was completed in 2020. Since then, the car has been driven only 3,640 km, exclusively during the summer months.

Equipment and Features

The interior is dressed in exclusive Marin Blue SX leather, perfectly complementing the car's sporty elegance. The original Blaupunkt radio remains in place, and the car is also equipped with a sunroof and a recently renovated air conditioning system. All tools are present, contributing to the car’s originality.

A unique feature is a button located beside the handbrake, which, when activated, remaps the engine control to provide an extra kickdown boost. This function is an unusual and exciting detail that we haven’t seen on any other Porsche 928.

Condition

The condition of this Porsche 928 GTS is nothing short of incredible. The body is in perfect shape, free of dents, scratches, or door dings. During the bodywork restoration, all panels, doors, and glass were removed. Everything was sanded down to bare metal to ensure that no previous inadequate repairs remained. As a result, a rear spoiler was replaced with a new original part because a previous repair did not meet the standard. Otherwise, the car has been accident-free.

The work also included a professional repaint in its original dark blue metallic color. New trim, windshield, and roof antenna were installed. Both front and rear plastic bumpers were replaced with new original parts as the old ones had lost their shape over time and did not fit the body’s finish. The car has recently received a paint sealant and new tires.

The interior is in top condition and entirely original, including the classic Blaupunkt radio. The engine, transmission, and drivetrain are in superb condition and function flawlessly. The front brakes have been renovated, with new discs and pads all around, ensuring optimal performance.

Service History

The most recent service was performed by Mtech in 2016 with an odometer reading of 105,430 km. Since then, the car has been driven only about 6,000 km. There is no specific interval for the timing belt change, but Mtech recommends doing it by 2026. This applies only to the timing belt. Rollers and water pumps do not wear out over time. The renovation carried out in 2017/18 focused mainly on the body but also included work on the engine, transmission, mechanics, and electronics. A detailed list of the work performed is available.

The service book is filled out with previous services and repairs, and all receipts are preserved. Due to the car being off the road for almost ten years and then used sparingly, the number of services is fewer than would typically be expected for its age.

The most recent approved inspection was conducted on August 29, 2024, with an odometer reading of 110,855 km.

Attached, you will find Mtech’s detailed list of all the work done on the car during the renovation. As indicated, the car has only been driven about 3,000 km since 2015, and before that, it was off the road from 2007. This explains the low mileage. The reason for the renovation, despite the car already being in good condition, was the current owner’s desire to make it absolutely perfect – something that is very rare for a Porsche 928.

Summary

The Porsche 928 is a true gentleman’s car with a unique design that no other manufacturer has managed to replicate. When Porsche’s board decided to discontinue the 928 model, they gave the engineers one final challenge: to go "all in" on a final version where everything would be of the absolute highest quality. The result was the GTS model. With a 5.4-liter V8 producing 345 hp/500 Nm and typically equipped with an automatic transmission, the car is both a comfortable and entertaining GT vehicle.

This GTS is elegantly dark blue with a matching dark blue interior. The current owner purchased the car because of his love for its design and the unique feeling it provides. Mechanically, the car was already in good condition at the time of purchase, as Mtech had owned it before the current owner. However, the paint was in poor condition, which led to the decision to have Mtech carry out a complete body restoration.

As is often the case with such projects, the current owner made ongoing decisions regarding additional improvements to make the car as beautiful as it deserves to be. Brakes, protective plates, springs, shock absorbers, inner wheel arches, AC repair, battery, and tires are just some of the things that have been upgraded. The list is long and interesting – see the attached image for details.
