Hi all. For some time I have been aware of a 928 parked up in a secure dry garage following the passing away of the owner around 5 years ago. I understand that the car was used for a short time after the owners passing and hasn't been used since. The legal owner of the 928 is the gentleman so widow and she will shortly be looking to dispose of the car. The lady in question is fully aware of my involvement in Porsche cars and cars in general, and is going to view the car and ask me to suggest potential ways of disposing of it. I believe the car in question is a 928 GTS and when it was laid up was in superb condition with a full history file. I once had a ride in it many years ago. There is a suggestion that the car may have some form of special body kit fitted but I am unsure on this point and it's so long since I have seen the car I can't remember.
I have no experience with this model of Porsche but I am fully aware of Paul Anderson in Stroud.
If the car hasn't been used for 4 or more years then I imagine it will be in poor condition mechanically having not been run. I would be reluctant to try and start it, even with a jump kit. As well as the tyres no longer being round I suspect that the brakes will be seized and the fuel/water systems will need a purge at the very least.
I am open to all suggestions on this, should I get it trailered to Paul Anderson for a re-commissioning cost? Simple advise disposing of it as is or do I make an offer and take a punt on it? What are the things that could be problems on a 928 that has been laid up for so long? Are a full set of spares still available for this model?
All comments and advice welcome. I hope to be viewing the car in a month or 2.
TIA
