Introduction
Dom Ginn
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.
Coming to market from a ~2.5 year ownership by a self-confessed "Porsche nut", this car has seen just 5 former keepers, and is a UK right hand drive example. It is finished in the classic "Guards Red" paint, and has a "Tan" leatherette period interior. The car has seen significant expenditure over the past 5 years, most notably over £10,000 on an engine rebuild. It comes with its original handbooks and service booklet and is MOT and road tax exempt.

Hi Christophe
It seems your car is mechanically sound can you tell me if any work has been done on the bodywork ie inner/outer sills, kidney bowls, floor pans, door pillars etc. If my memory serves me right I think this year car was the first for galvanised bodies do you know if your car has the galvanised body.
Thank you in advance Charlie
Hi Charlie, I am not aware of specific work on the bodywork. There are no bills that mention bobywork and did not strip the car. There is an old 74 point inspection form from AFN that reports OK for check of under body for accident damage/corrosion and also OK for external trim and bodywork for accident damage/corrosion. Points reported were the rear engine lid and the driver door bottom. This matches how the car is today. As for the galvanisation, indeed the full body was galvanised from 1975. But I can’t say. We did not touch the body.
Hi Christopher, I may have missed this in the listing, but could you share details on the engine rebuild? Who did it? What was done? Cost etc? Cheers
Hello Gary, The engune rebuild was done in 2021 by PCT Select Porsche Specialist in Honiley (CV8 1NQ). The total cost is £10,152.40. The engine was stripped and fully rebuilt. Apart from pistons, barrels and valves, the rest of the running gear has been replaced. The gearboax was also stripped and rebuilt.
