Thought everyone would enjoy this video. Harry has a great collection of GT cars too.

Answered my own question... Impressive that he chose this out of a 1000 or so cars to review.

Thanks for sharing, the owner didn't look too relaxed around the country roads !
It would be nice to see a review that didn't mention the 911 :-)

It was published yesterday, and there are already 24,000 views. I would say we have something typical for the 928 - a special car and a special owner.

One very small observation: my '87 has the "928" embossed on the rear window trim, though largely hidden under the wing. The owner suggested later cars didn't have it - how much later?

Yep, noticed that too!

A bit of an unrealistic expectation given the sibling rivalry, don't you think?

A well-done video; the sound of the exhaust sublime. OP thanks for the heads-up.

Hi everyone, people keep saying I looked nervous - I was loving it! Harry is a true gent and I think he really enjoyed the car. Thanks very much to Alex Popov (cheburator) who helped me get the car ready and putting its best foot forward.

One of the most fun days I've ever had!

Awesome video...I'm glad Harry drove it like it should have been driven. Loved the sound!
