A Porsche 928 S4 calls for help in Japan

Dino Dale Carbonare, responsible for the YouTube channel 'Through the White Glasses', surprised us a week ago with an unusual find on his trip through Japan. And it is that the intrepid reporter has a great nose for discovering interesting classics in a state of abandonment.

A few weeks ago he was sadly telling us how he found an old Toyota MR2. But, paraphrasing it, what it teaches us in this video is 'to another level' ...

this beautiful Porsche 928 S4 (1986-1991) that has been engulfed by the wet Japanese weed is surrounded by objects in the same or worse state. We are talking about a good number of cars, a motorhome and even a school bus, not to mention appliances of all kinds. Wrapped up by his 'neighbors', he bears a sticker on his windshield that seems to indicate that his last technical inspection was in 1997 ...

A Porsche 928 S4, 20 years of neglect

Has this high-flying GT been abandoned there for 20 years? Because the truth is that it doesn't seem like it. According to D. Carbonare the most surprising thing is that the condition of the body, including paint, is quite good. Despite the appearance of rust and scratches caused by weeds, it is recoverable. The same goes for the wheels and the interior, whose only but is a sprout of grass that begins to grow on the steering wheel ...

The status of the front of this is unknown Abandoned porsche 928, that remains hidden by nature, which includes its mechanics. But everything seems to indicate that this classic could live a fantastic second life if someone wanted to spend the (abundant) money necessary for its restoration. In addition, we are talking about a late edition of the model: The S4 variant mounts the 8-liter V5 engine and 320 hp that make it a dream GT. Let's hope we don't see it parked there for the next decade!

For more information and photos you can visit the magnificent website Speed ​​hunters, where Carbonare will explain his experience in Japan first hand.
