1974 Porsche 911 2.7

Since the prototype was unveiled in 1963, the Porsche 911 has gone on to become perhaps the most famous sports car of all time. A classically Germanic blend of engineering excellence and austerely beautiful design, it remains to this day perhaps the only supercar that can be reliably used every day. In 1973 it had already been 10 years since the 911 was first introduced and the spirit of the 911 was as alive as ever. This year brought some major innovations, like the characteristic shock-absorbing bumpers, the 'ducktail' and 'whale-tail' and a completely galvanized body. In the same year, one of the most influential models in the 911 history was introduced: the Carrera RS. Although in 1973 the 'E', 'T' and 'S' had a 2.4 engine, the RS had a tuned engine with a bigger bore, making for 2681cc of displacement. A year later the new models (G-series) would be equiped with a detuned version of this 2.7 engine.

Finished in yellow with contrasting black interior, here is a unique opportunity to purchase a rare 1974 911 2.7. Whilst this car is offered as a restoration project we are informed by the vendor that the whole vehicle is complete in terms of parts, both externally, internally and mechanically. We are told by the vendor that the engine is actually in working order and as such makes this a very temping project in terms of a complete restoration or as an on going project whilst being used or driven.

Supplied with a V5 showing 4 owners and also its original 911 number plate, this particular 911 hasn't seen the light of day for nearly for nearly 8 years. We have seen recently restored models over the last 12 months make very strong money and as such this could well be one of most talked about cars of this auction. We advise any potential buyers to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves with the condition prior to auction.
