I know a few of these were built but never became a prodution model, theres one for sale at heritage cars, advertised in this months Classic and Sports car mag. Apparntly theres only Three left in the world now, this one is £20k. Sounds cheap to me considering its rarity now and its bound to appreciate.
Go sneak a look in Smiths (
) page 82....I think it look feckin lovely, much nicer than 944/968 or even 911 cabs 
It really reminds me of a modern car, cant quite think what though....anyone else seen one?

Maybe...
..but I don't think so. I guess i like the Strosek one at the top, but it's a bit 80's!
There are waaaaay more than 3 as well. Loads of people made conversions. A thread on Rennlist got 20+ accounted for pretty quickly.
The first pic was from a Google Images search, the rest from a search in the 928 forum on Rennlist.com

Three official Porsche/Gemballa ones remain out of Five. Gemballa did the prototype conversions officially for Porsche so it says. Obviously there could be (are!) more DIY converions that have been done but kind of a different thing/kettle of fish imo....
The one advertised is going to be featured in GT PURELY PORSCHE magazine next month in a big feature, should find out more there i guess.
Just had another look and it looks nothing like the white one, but a bit more like the silver one at top of post.
The pictue is very small so cant quite make out details....

Mate, wouldnt think about buying one (ok maybe a late '95 GTS manual one day,dream dream,lol).......the only two Porsches that have ever let me down/not got me home have both been 928's Dead electrics on an S2 and Broken Water pump on an S4.
Hows the Boxster S?

Trying desperately hard not to post any more (full of ***** ) but as we have knowledgable Porsche people, do you know of any 964 rs for sale?
I had a few laps in one at the weekend around the 'ring and I must own one at some point it was amazing, however prices are going up, and at this rate it may be a while before I get my sticky mits on one.

That cab in Heritage Cars Wellesbourne has been for sale for at least 6 months that I know of. A colleague of mine looked at it when originally advertised at 25K. I asked members of the 928 club about it and as far as they are aware there was never an 'official' Porsche 928 Cab. Gemballa are a tuning and conversion company just like RUF (both good names) and they do get chassis direct from Porsche but it would be risky to buy it as a rare Porsche cabriolet as to the best of my knowledge it is not.
I'll still probably buy GT Purely Porsche for a look tho

Had a new S4 in 1989, superb car.
Almost averaged a new set of rear tyres a month too!!
The earlier 928 is very dated now imo and a completely different motor to the later cars. More like a lazy American ride, at least the S4 was more urgent.

Picked up GT yesterday.
It was an official design study by Gembella for Porsche.
Only Three left, two in collections, and this one. Two crash tested to destruction.
Car is immaculate inside and out,lived in SA for most of its life.
Only original panel is the bonnet, the rest is carbon fibre.
I really like it!
