Registration – B629 NAB
Chassis No. – WP0ZZZ92ZES841836
M.O.T. – Exempt
Odometer – 109,000
The Porsche 928 marked a number of key departures for Porsche when it was launched in 1977. It became the first V8 powered car from the marque, as well as the first front engined model. The 928 attained the prestigious European Car of the Year accolade in 1978, an unusual award to for a luxury performance model. ‘B639NAB’ showcases why the 928 was such an acclaimed model. Dating from 1984, and now MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax, ‘B639NAB’ is a 4.7 litre, 310bhp S2 model with four speed automatic transmission. ‘B639NAB’ stands out further thanks to its rare, special factory order “perlweib” or “pearl white” paintwork. With around 109,000 miles covered to date in the hands of six previous keepers, ‘B639NAB’ comes with a full binder of paperwork, service history and invoices.
On first seeing ‘B639NAB,’ it is that sublime pearlescent paint that makes an immediate impression. It’s really quite striking. The futuristic look of the Porsche 928 then dawns on one with the car looking surprisingly contemporary despite its 40 years of age. Those uncovered pop up headlamps only reinforce this impression and the “slab” style alloy wheels still look impressive. That air of modernity is definitely mirrored in the 2+2 interior. The deeply bolstered, and heavily cushioned seats are very “Space 1999” and finished in supple and striking grey and blue piped leather. The rear seats are even surprisingly practical for children as is the commodious boot accessed via that large, glass hatch.
By the time ‘B639NAB’ left Zuffenhausen, the 928 was using the 4.7 litre, M28 V8 all alloy engine. Not only a powerful, sonorous and refined unit but a good looking one, too. This is mated to a four speed automatic gearbox making ‘B639NAB’ a surprisingly usable car with admirably modern dynamics. The S2’s 310bhp was sufficient for an impressive 150mph plus top speed. In terms of ‘B639NAB’s’ condition, the vendor rates the engine and transmission as “excellent” with all other facets judged as “good.”
In summary:
· Superb and rare special order white pearlescent paint
· The 310bhp 4.7 litre S2 model considered somewhat of a sweet spot
· Just become MOT exempt and tax zero rated based on age

We do not represent or warrant the accuracy of any information provided to you and you shall not seek to rely on any such information. If you are bidding on, a Lot, we would strongly encourage you to seek independent advice about the Lot (and its value) and any information provided in connection with the same as well as arranging to make your own inspection of the Lot before bidding on it.
4.1. The Bidder Registration Form shall constitute an offer by Hampsons, subject to these Terms, to provide the Services. The Contract shall come into existence when the Bidder signs (or in any way consents to) the Bidder Registration Form. For the avoidance of doubt, and in the exceptional case where you do not sign the Bidder Registration Form but you take part in an Auction, you shall be deemed to have accepted these Terms.
4.2. Hampsons reserves the right to reject any Bidder Registration Form that is not complete or not accompanied by photographic identification and Hampsons may decide (in its sole direction) refuse entry to any individual to attend or bid at an Auction.
4.3. If a Bidder is operating on behalf of a third party, they must make this clear to Hampsons when they fill in the Bidder Registration Form or they will be deemed to have entered the Contract and any Direct Contract on their own behalf.

4.4. These Terms apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Buyer/Bidder seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
4.5. The Buyer shall be the highest bidder at or over the Reserve (if any) that is accepted by Hampson Auctions.
4.6. In addition to bidding in person at a public Auction, Bidders may instruct Hampson Auctions by writing or by telephone or electronically to execute bids on their behalf at the Auction.

4.7. Hampson Auctions shall have the absolute discretion (on behalf of itself and as agent for any Seller) to settle any dispute related to bidding at the fall of the hammer or close of the Auction. Where Hampson Auctions acts as agent for the Seller in relation to any dispute, it does so entirely at its sole direction and, in the event of any dispute relating to a Direct Contract, Hampson Auctions reserves the right to refer the Buyer to the Seller to settle such disputes directly (and shall have no liability to the Buyer or the Seller in respect thereof).
4.8. Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by Hampson Auctions, at its sole discretion, to the Seller for consideration. Should the Seller accept a bid below the Reserve, the bid shall be the Hammer Price, and the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at that Hammer Price at the time of the fall of the hammer on the date of the Auction.
6.1. Shall complete and sign (or in another way consent to) the Bidder’s Registration Form and ensure that the contents of the Bidder’s Registration Form are true, complete and accurate.
6.2. Shall co-operate with Hampson Auctions in all matters relating to any bidding on, and the purchase of, any Lot.
6.3. Shall provide Hampson Auctions with the Bidder’s photographic identification prior to bidding at any Auction and where, for any reason, such identification has not been provided prior to the Bidder bidding at any Auction, the Bidder shall provide it as reasonably practicable thereafter.

6.4. Acknowledges that all Lots are provided “sold as seen” with all defects and faults and without any guarantee or warranty attaching thereto including (but not limited to) as to the condition, roadworthiness, registrability or otherwise and with all defects and faults whether or not apparent upon inspection and that any claim of any kind in respect of a Lot is solely against the Seller and not Hampson Auctions;
6.5. Shall, on being the highest bidder on a Lot and becoming the Buyer for that Lot under a Direct Contract, pay to Hampsons the Sale Proceeds in respect of that Lot as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, no later than midday on the day after the Auction was held.

6.6. Acknowledges and accepts that Hampson Auctions may apply (whether as set off or otherwise) any payment received from the Buyer towards any sums owed from the Buyer to Hampson Auctions without notifying the Buyer or his agent;
6.7. Shall ensure that any Lot purchased from Hampson Auctions is removed from Hampson Auctions’ premises within a reasonable time period after Hampson Auctions has confirmed in writing that all sums have been paid by the Buyer and that they are able to collect the Lot.
6.7.1. Shall ensure that, where the Buyer has purchased a vehicle forming a Lot, suitable car insurance policies are in place and all other legal matters have been complied with to remove the Lot from Hampson Auctions’ premises.
6.7.2.

6.9. Where a Lot is a vehicle, acknowledges:
6.9.1. That all motor vehicles are sold as collector’s items and not as a means of transport, and as such the vehicles may have had parts replaced and repainted and include parts of other vehicles which would make it difficult to establish the condition;
6.9.2. Hampson Auctions cannot verify the authenticity of the chassis, VIN number or mileage under which a vehicle is offered;
6.9.3. That it is the Bidder’s own responsibility to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity;
6.9.4. where it is illustrated by a photograph, that the registration number visible will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description by the Seller; and
6.9.5. that, if the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number is completed with the DVLA, the Buyer will take all reasonable steps to co-operate with the Seller or Hampson Auctions and will not register the vehicle with the original registration number.
6.10. Shall, while on the Premises, conduct itself properly and in accordance with the reasonable instructions of Hampsons including (but not limited to) all instructions relating to health and safety and the Bidder shall be responsible to pay any sums to (and shall indemnify and hold harmless) Hampson Auctions or the Seller (as the case may be) in respect of any damage caused by the Buyer (or any third party on their behalf) while on the Premises.
6.11. The Bidder will at all times comply with Hampson Auctions’ website terms and conditions (including acceptable use policy) stated on the Site from time to time in respect of all Online Auctions.
6.12. The Bidder shall consider their bid carefully before making it as it is not possible to change a bid once made, even in the event of any error or accidental bid.
7.1. The only obligation of Hampson Auctions to the Bidder is to allow the Bidder, subject to these terms, to attend the Auction, bid on a Lot and, where there is no Reserve (or where the Bid is over the Reserve), conclude the sale of a Lot on behalf of the Seller with the highest bidder, and to hold a lien over the Lot until the Buyer has paid all sums due to the Seller and/or Hampson Auctions.
7.2. Hampson Auctions will (unless otherwise agreed) (unless otherwise agreed) administer the exchange of the Lot for the Hammer Price on behalf of the Seller, ensuring that both the Seller and the Buyer each pay all relevant Charges under these terms or otherwise.
7.3. Hampson Auctions will carry out the Services at the Premises or online as stated on the Bidder Registration Form.

Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation or negligent misstatement based on any statement in the Contract. Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
15.5. Variation. Except as set out in these Conditions, no variation of the Contract shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).
15.6. Waiver. A waiver of any right (for example not taking immediate action on a breach of these terms) or remedy under the Contract or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
15.7. Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
15.8. Third party rights. Unless it expressly states otherwise, the Contract does not give rise to any rights to people not party to this contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Contract.
15.9. Governing law. The Contract, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.
15.10. Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation.

If a Bidder is operating on behalf of a third party, they must make this clear to Hampsons when they fill in the Bidder Registration Form or they will be deemed to have entered the Contract and any Direct Contract on their own behalf. Hampson Auctions cannot take any responsibility or liability for any loss or default suffered by any Bidder, Buyer or any third party because of the Bidder’s failure to make Hampson Auctions aware that the Bidder or Buyer acts on behalf of a third party.

4.7. Hampson Auctions shall have the absolute discretion (on behalf of itself and as agent for any Seller) to settle any dispute related to bidding at the fall of the hammer or close of the Auction. Where Hampson Auctions acts as agent for the Seller in relation to any dispute, it does so entirely at its sole direction and, in the event of any dispute relating to a Direct Contract, Hampson Auctions reserves the right to refer the Buyer to the Seller to settle such disputes directly (and shall have no liability to the Buyer or the Seller in respect thereof).
4.8. Any bid which fails to reach the Reserve may be submitted by Hampson Auctions, at its sole discretion, to the Seller for consideration. Should the Seller accept a bid below the Reserve, the bid shall be the Hammer Price, and the Lot will be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer at that Hammer Price at the time of the fall of the hammer on the date of the Auction.
6.1. Shall complete and sign (or in another way consent to) the Bidder’s Registration Form and ensure that the contents of the Bidder’s Registration Form are true, complete and accurate.

6.4.

6.5. Shall, on being the highest bidder on a Lot and becoming the Buyer for that Lot under a Direct Contract, pay to Hampsons the Sale Proceeds in respect of that Lot as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, no later than midday on the day after the Auction was held.

6.6. Acknowledges and accepts that Hampson Auctions may apply (whether as set off or otherwise) any payment received from the Buyer towards any sums owed from the Buyer to Hampson Auctions without notifying the Buyer or his agent;
6.7. Shall ensure that any Lot purchased from Hampson Auctions is removed from Hampson Auctions’ premises within a reasonable time period after Hampson Auctions has confirmed in writing that all sums have been paid by the Buyer and that they are able to collect the Lot.
6.7.1. Shall ensure that, where the Buyer has purchased a vehicle forming a Lot, suitable car insurance policies are in place and all other legal matters have been complied with to remove the Lot from Hampson Auctions’ premises.

6.9. Where a Lot is a vehicle, acknowledges:
6.9.1. That all motor vehicles are sold as collector’s items and not as a means of transport, and as such the vehicles may have had parts replaced and repainted and include parts of other vehicles which would make it difficult to establish the condition;
6.9.2. Hampson Auctions cannot verify the authenticity of the chassis, VIN number or mileage under which a vehicle is offered;
6.9.3. That it is the Bidder’s own responsibility to verify in advance the authenticity of a vehicle that is claimed to have important racing, rallying or ‘ex-works’ history as it was common in period for a competition vehicle of a single identity to have more than one chassis, body or other mechanical components. This may have happened several times, both in a vehicle’s ‘works’ career and thereafter in private owner hands. Sometimes ‘works’ vehicles were fitted with different registration plates, so that a vehicle could meet a particular event’s start date deadline. These historical factors may lead to there being in existence multiple and competing claimants to the same vehicle identity;
6.9.4. where it is illustrated by a photograph, that the registration number visible will not be transferred with the vehicle to the Buyer unless the registration particulars appear in the written part of the description by the Seller; and
6.9.5. that, if the vehicle is sold to the Buyer before the formalities of the allocation of a different registration number is completed with the DVLA, the Buyer will take all reasonable steps to co-operate with the Seller or Hampson Auctions and will not register the vehicle with the original registration number.
6.10. Shall, while on the Premises, conduct itself properly and in accordance with the reasonable instructions of Hampsons including (but not limited to) all instructions relating to health and safety and the Bidder shall be responsible to pay any sums to (and shall indemnify and hold harmless) Hampson Auctions or the Seller (as the case may be) in respect of any damage caused by the Buyer (or any third party on their behalf) while on the Premises.

7.1. The only obligation of Hampson Auctions to the Bidder is to allow the Bidder, subject to these terms, to attend the Auction, bid on a Lot and, where there is no Reserve (or where the Bid is over the Reserve), conclude the sale of a Lot on behalf of the Seller with the highest bidder, and to hold a lien over the Lot until the Buyer has paid all sums due to the Seller and/or Hampson Auctions.
7.2. Hampson Auctions will (unless otherwise agreed) (unless otherwise agreed) administer the exchange of the Lot for the Hammer Price on behalf of the Seller, ensuring that both the Seller and the Buyer each pay all relevant Charges under these terms or otherwise.
7.3. Hampson Auctions will carry out the Services at the Premises or online as stated on the Bidder Registration Form.
