Boasting the instantly the recognisable Porsche bodywork of a steel body and aluminium panels, the Porsche 928 has impressive aerodynamic prowess. The smooth rear and front bumpers give an appealing look and notable sleekness.

As with all classic vehicles, proper care and storage will ensure full enjoyment of your slice of auto history. Follow a regular maintenance schedule and, if preparing for winter or cold weather storage:

• Disconnect the battery or attach a trickle charger.
• Fill the fuel tank as this helps to stop any water build-up or condensation.
• If you don't use jack stands, fill the tires to the maximum recommended pressure to avoid flat spots. Tires can lose up to 1 psi per month in normal conditions, as well as 1 psi per 10-degree drop in temperature.
