Hi, really keen to find out what I can about my 1988 928S4 please:
WPOZZZ92ZJS849634
It's been in Western Australia for 16 years, arriving here from Japan. The last owner told me it was delivered new in Germany, but I have some doubts...
Look forward to what you can tell me. Thanks in advance

M28.42 - engine serial # range 81J 05001>10000

Thanks Rob. That cassette radio sounds like it might have been a bit flash! It's of course long gone. I don't get the manhole covers either. The car was painted Diamond black prior to me buying it nearly 25 years ago.

You have a cool early 1980 Euro S 5-speed without rubstrips or sunroof, just the way Tony Lapine intended. I put the options breakout into the master VIN thread, for continuity. Link:
