About the Author

Written from a background of 30 years continuous ownership of Porsches from a 914 to 911s and 928s. The author has also been a guiding member of Porsche Club Great Britain throughout this time and, therefore, writing about the cars, and 928s in particular, was a natural and easy progression. There cannot be many details to have escaped his attention: this book allows them all to be shared with a much wider readership.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first book anyone looking for a 928 should buy, November 15, 2007

David Hemmings cuts right to the chase with all you need to know before buying a 928 that only a long time owner of many of these fine cars can tell you. He doesn't just tell you about the 928, he tells you about what it feels like to own and drive one, both the good and the bad, and what to be cautious of.

Beyond the book prospective 928 buyers would be wise to get in touch with the local Porsche and 928 community, without them and the knowledge they have about where to locate service and parts ownership can be a trial.

This book provided me with the knowledge that enabled me to make an informed purchase. I knew what to look for and where the trouble would lay. The key was stressed over and over to use factual service records that a prudent owner would retain and provide upon request.

I purchased this book prior to buying my 928. The one thing I wish that would have been covered is the suspension. Replacing the front a-arms on a 1986 is very expensive. Otherwise, it contains a lot of good information.
