Introduction

Dom Ginn
Professional Consigner

Classic in design, effortlessly fast, and always in control, with just enough quirks to keep you guessing.

The 911 was first produced in 1964, and as a model, it is, of course, still produced today, with cars up until 1998 featuring an air-cooled flat-six engines. The rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive configuration of the early cars made for a very unique and lively driving experience—one where, without driver aids, it was very easy to be caught out. In 1974, in line with legislative changes in road safety and emissions, the "Impact Bumper" design was introduced, and the drivetrain was updated, mainly to run on fuel injection rather than carbs. The engine displacement was increased to 2.7L from 2.4L. In standard guise, the output was approximately 150bhp, and the 911S 2.7 had an output of around 175bhp.

This is the second time we have seen this car at Trade Classics. The first time was three years ago when it came from a 22-year ownership and was purchased by Christophe, a self-confessed ‘Porsche nut’. With three years having quickly passed, Christophe now has a new business venture, which is why he is parting with this iconic classic Porsche. It comes with its original handbooks and service booklet and is MOT and road tax exempt.

This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Christophe the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

“I must confess, I am a Porsche nut!”

Christophe has owned several 911s (including several early 911s, a 930 Turbo, 996, etc.). He was looking at the time for the first generation of impact bumper 911s, hence the 2.7 or 2.7S, to experience that era of 911s. He was happy to find a car that might need a small amount of work but not a full restoration, although he didn’t want a garage queen either. He was immediately attracted to the car because it looked overall good on the body, and the engine had been rebuilt less than 6,000 miles ago. Christophe will be happy to answer any questions in the comments section below.

Exterior

A body design that’s as timeless as it is elegant, with its curvy hips, sloping roofline, and that unmistakable silhouette.

Wheels and Tyres

Fitted with 15-inch Fuchs wheels, these are finished in bright silver. There are a few minor marks but nothing excessive. The Blockley tyres are in good order and were fitted in 2022.

Please see the image gallery for more detailed images.

Bodywork

Whichever way you look at it, the 911 has that classic shape that everyone knows and loves.

The bodywork overall looks to be in good condition, with no visible dings or dents. There are some signs of age, as it is 50 years old. These were noticed at the bottom of the driver’s door and the engine cover, where some blisters have appeared.

We've provided high-resolution images and videos detailing our observations, so please take the time to review all media files for a comprehensive view of the car’s condition.

Paint

Originally, the car is reported to have been Copper Brown and was repainted in Guards Red sometime in the mid-1980s. The paintwork presents well with a deep lustre. There are some areas of orange peel and the odd age-related marks and blemishes. The passenger side door also appears to be an ever-so-slightly lighter shade than the quarter panel.

Images are taken from various angles to present the car as you would see it in person. Please take the time to fully assess these high-resolution images and videos to form your own opinion on the paint’s condition.

Glass and Trim

As you would expect, all the windows appear in good condition, with only the usual minor age-related marks. The chrome trims and seals also look good.

The headlights, indicators, rear lights, and the Porsche reflector are in good order, and there are no splits or cracks in the lenses.

Interior

Like a time capsule of timeless cool, with its minimalist dash, classic round gauges, and driver-focused layout.

Seats and Carpets

Finished in tan leatherette with material inserts, the front seats show some signs of age, with splits along a couple of seams where the leatherette meets the material. There is also some cracking to the bolster on the driver’s side. Christophe has been quoted £300 to have these repaired. The door cards are in good order, but there are slight scuffs on the door pockets.

Fitted with beige carpets, there is a slight amount of wear in keeping with the age of the 911, but these still present well. Inside the boot, the spare wheel is present, and the petrol tank looks to be in good condition when viewed from above.
Please see the interior gallery for more detailed images.

Dashboard

Matching the door cards, the dashboard is in good order and free from splits or cracks. The five-instrument layout reportedly works correctly, and the odometer shows a reading of approximately 34,337 miles at the time of our visit.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

Fitted with the original four-spoke steering wheel, this looks to be in good condition, as is the gear knob, with the numbers 1-5 and R clearly visible.

Please see the interior gallery for more images.

Mechanics

2.7-litres of flat-six greatness—produces around 175bhp and was rebuilt just over 1,300 miles ago.

Engine and Gearbox

The 2.7-litre engine was rebuilt in 2021, and since then, just over 1,300 miles have been covered. The engine fires up without hesitation and runs with no issues reported by Christophe.

The drivetrain, which was fitted with a five-speed gearbox, was refreshed for ~£10,000 in 2021. This included work to the gearbox and differential, and a new clutch was also fitted. The car's gears are easily selected, having recently had new bushes fitted and the linkage adjusted, and this can be seen in our on-the-road video.

Suspension and Brakes

On the road, the car drives beautifully, with no knocks or bangs coming from either corner of the car. The brakes bring the 911 to a stop as well as you would expect and in a straight line.

The Drive

We asked Christophe what he liked about driving his 911. “There’s only one car with an air-cooled flat-six at the back, and that is a proper sports car—that’s the 911! I prefer the older generations, as they are lighter and were designed for speeds that are still legal today. They are easy to drive, and you enjoy every corner you take. Every straight line is an excuse for pressing the pedal and hearing that flat-six come alive.”

“It is the mix between the early 911s and the upcoming 3.2/930 generation. Starts on the dot (thank you MFI), corners like an early 911, and accelerates at a decent rate of knots. It’s great in the city as you can have fun at low speeds and also be comfortable on the motorway. It has no problem keeping up with modern sports cars, and it is a classic, so there’s always someone appreciating the car wherever you go.”

Electrics and Other

All of the switchgear is said to be working correctly. Christophe has installed a Blaupunkt Valencia 200 DAB BT head unit, enabling mobile phone connectivity—handy for those wanting to stream music, although the sound of the flat-six should be enough.

History and Paperwork

A UK 911, which has been well cared for by Christophe and the previous keeper, who have collectively owned it for ~25 years.

The history file for the Porsche is comprehensive, with plenty of old MOT certificates and invoices. The main ones to note are the £10,152 drivetrain and engine rebuild invoice from 2021 and more recently, a service which was carried out in July 2024.

The original handbooks are present, along with the service booklet.

Did somebody say they are in the market for a usable classic Porsche with a full engine and drivetrain rebuild? Look no further—your search stops here!

We’ve conducted our usual seller checks, including photo ID, V5, and have also actioned a history check on the vehicle. This is a professional check by HPI that highlights whether the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or has any outstanding finance. Please note: This does not include a mileage history check.

We've summarised our view of the car based on information from the seller above. As you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in high-resolution detail—this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. Please sit back, have a cuppa, and take your time to review everything in this listing to assess the vehicle's condition.

Viewings are also welcomed for all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time—we just need to speak to you first and receive valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you’re unsure about, no matter how small, please ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can’t be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car—just like in a traditional auction house.

    Key Bidding Facts

    What is your reserve policy?

    A reserve is the minimum price that the seller will let the car go for. We work with sellers to set realistic reserves in line with market pricing – we don’t take on vehicles with unrealistic pricing. Reserve met / not met labeling may or may not be announced during the auction – this is just like a traditional auction house, i.e. bidders may only know when they’ve been successful at the end of the auction.

    If the reserve hasn’t been met at the end of the auction then we work with the highest bidder to try to work out a deal with the seller.

    Why shouldn’t I leave bidding to the last minute?

    Auto-Extending Bidding – we’ve developed auto-extending auctions that mimic traditional auction house bidding; it’s a key feature to make sure classic vehicles achieve their true worth. Bids placed in the last one minute automatically extend the auction by two further minutes. So there is no need to leave bidding to the last second.

    Security – we operate higher levels of security, so you may need to enter further authorisations against your stored card after you select ‘Place Bid’. All this takes time and may mean you miss the end of the auction by the time the authorisation passes. To guarantee your bid, we recommend at least five minutes are active on the auction when you place your bid.
