That one is a Euro and yours US.
Check out these Zuffenhausen Line Photos. You may be able to spot your 928 there, as these were taken after they started building US 928s.

That registration date would put it as very early production - certainly interesting enough to find out the VIN

I started 928 Classics a couple years ago, and have been into it full-time for about a year. And with any small business, it takes alot of time, energy, and money to grow it.
This is where my efforts are right now. And if the business proves a success, it will afford me the opportunity to actively restore #1. This is the primary goal of my business
A more active restoration is the #6 car, which i'll be working on in early June.
Thanks for checking in!

I figured this a good place to post this C&D article, which depicts rich history of Number One and the 928.

Easy. Pedal on the right is operated by right foot. Push all the way down. Left pedal is also foot operated in conjuction with lever in center console. Middle pedal seldom required, but if needed push hard with foot then release, then continue with right pedal all the way down.

Also, you can adjust clutch arm spring to spec for proper feel.

And there is a beautiful bolt-on extension available to raise the brake pedal. Just occurred to me - wonder if that also fits the clutch?

edit: found it: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...-spacer-s.html The holes aren't there but the casting supports drilling and tapping, from 86.5 onwards apparently.
