Famous People and the 928
#46
Hi, I am a newly listed Renn list user so though this thread would be a good one to start with... I live in Auckland, New Zealand and have been a viewer of Renn L for some time. There are some very informative and friendly 928ers out there!
I own a Guards Red 87 S4 A/T which is basically standard and I 'm not famous!
Apparently MC hammer owned one - It was on e-bay for about a day some time last year. It looked like a cut down "S" with a customised body kit - over $100 K worth of modifications ---so the ad said.
Also, Vic Elford (former test driver for Porsche and Le man's winner ) and owned a 928. His wife liked it as "it had plenty of room for her handbag and her son's long legs"
Thanks

Welcome Maddox, and thank you for your contribution!
You don't have to be famous to participate here.. And I know yours is not the only red 928 in New Zealand...

That car - the "928-4" - was made in 1984, and already had many new features, some of which reached production later. It had a 4-valve engine, S4 style front and rear bumper covers and lights, and projection lights - just to name a few. It was dark green metallic and had a leather and cloth interior.
The 4-door 928s were made by ASC corporation in the late 80ies or early 90ies. I have heard they made four of them, but only two are known of - one here in the US, the other is in a private museum in Germany. Both are burgundy metallic, even though different tones of burgundy, and have different rear ends.

But his language throughout the story implied that only 911's were his fancy and I saw nothing else in the film. Of course I'm betting he's added a Carrera GT his collection, even though it's not a 911.

the car was very high priced, very fast for the time and very prestigious.
every reason, why a celebrtity would buy it...
what counts for me, is the fact that i own one.
i don't give a solitary ****, whether steven spielberg had one or not.
unless, you could cough up a list with vin no. and the famous owner...
that would be interesting to some
