Default Porsche 928 on last nights Top Gear episode

Just watching a downloaded last nights Top Gear and while the Hamster did his runs in the epic Porsche 959 and the Ferrari F40 (i'm 38 years old, those are my car icons to). The Stig is getting ready to have his famous laps in these cars.
The Ferrari however has an error. It needs to be pushed to a garage. Then you see a Porsche 928.

Whoever tells us the correct colour first wil win a free beer (to be picked up in The Netherlands).

Great show!!! The 928 actually was silver. I wished the Stig took that for a spin on the track. Of course that would neither be a DNF (did not finish) nor a DNS (did not start) according to Clarckson... Just a very good time!

So, where can I get my beer;-) ?

Silver S4 has been there before, at least once. There was also possibly brown 944 if I saw correctly.

Is it one of Clarkson's cars? I know he's a fan of the 928...

Hammond actually at least has owned silver OB but he might have sold it some time ago already. That garage next to TG studio somewhat specialises older watercooled Porsches so there are always few around.

Actually Hammond's old 928 was a Hellblau (not silver) 79 registration BYE488T. Just like mine :-)
