1974 Porsche 911 2.7S

Lot # 226 (Sale Order: 26 of 58)      

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 in real terms, the only supercar that can be reliably used on a daily basis. In 1973, it had already been 10 years since the 911 was first introduced and its spirit was alive and well. This year brought some major innovations, including the characteristic shock-absorbing bumpers, the 'ducktail' and 'whale-tail' and a completely galvanised body. In the same year, one of the most influential models in 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 and a capacity of 2681cc. A year later the new models (G-series) would be equipped with a detuned version of this same 2.7 engine.The discovery of a completely original, ultra-low mileage, beautifully preserved classic Porsche 911 2.7S fuel injection that has never been on the market before will no doubt attract attention globally and so it should. Finished in the lovely period colour of Sahara Beige with a contrasting beige interior, this 2.7S has been kept away from public prying eyes for just over 37 years and has only covered an incredible 9,571 miles from new. Originally supplied by Leroy Cannon Porsche/Audi, the car had its pre-delivery inspection on the 15/05/1975. According to the documentation, the car was passed to its second owner in January of 1977 and was pretty well hidden away until 2012.The vendor informs us that the car was then repatriated to Germany and was subject to a TUV inspection on the 29/09/2012. There is paperwork showing that the new owner spent 4,996 Euros on a full recommission carried out by Lundt Auto GmbH Porsche Service (there is a detailed 4 page invoice with the car), and at which point the mileage was recorded at 9,355.In July of 2015, this amazing Porsche was registered in the UK by the DVLA and given the registration number FRN 426M. The fourth owner decided to have four, newly reconditioned 6 X15 Fuchs alloys equipped with N2 rated, P6000s fitted to the car, and an oil, brake fluid, and gearbox oil service has been carried out by the Porsche Centre in Tewkesbury. It is reported that the car starts at the first turn of the key and settles to a smooth idle, with all the gauges showing normal readings, which should inspire confidence. The brakes are effective and bite when prompted, and all suspension bushes and springs are squeak and rattle free suggesting that this car has lived a cosseted existence.This Porsche's bodywork retains a deep lustre throughout, and the even panel gaps suggest the structure is straight and taut. The period-perfect interior is also described as being in stunning condition throughout with all gauges and switches working perfectly. Sold with an MoT until April 2016, its original stamped service book, owner's manual and wallet, original data card, dealer invoice and paperwork, a copy of the US title and other supporting invoices and documents. The original set of 6 X 15 "Cookie Cutter" alloy wheels are also with the car.How well this Porsche has been looked after is quite extraordinary. It's obviously not new but there appears no evidence of the last 40 years, yet this is not due to an expensive restoration, just conscientious care and attention over the years. Cars like this do not come to the open market very often and Silverstone Auctions feel very privileged to have been asked to handle the sale of this stunning 911, and this car is so special that we expect strong interest from all four corners of the globe.

1986 Porsche 924 S

Lot # 227 (Sale Order: 27 of 58)      

The 1976 Porsche 924 was a complete departure for Porsche, in that it featured a front mounted water cooled engine. The 1984cc engine was essentially an Audi unit which Porsche then tweaked to 125bhp. The power went to a rear mounted gearbox/transaxle, the advantage of this layout was that it gave the car near perfect weight balance which naturally improved the handling.  The 924 was clothed in a pretty two plus two body shell which featured a large glass hatchback giving access to a relatively large rear boot making this a very practical sports car. The 2-litre engine, which powered the earlier models, developed 125bhp and the maximum speed was in excess of 125mph. Things were to improve with the arrival of the 924S which was fitted with a 2.5-litre engine with 163bhp available. With  its sure-footed handling, the car was to prove a great success and nowadays is a popular choice as a potential future classic.We are informed by the vendor that this beautiful Porsche 924S has been the subject of a £4,000 windows out repaint in its original factory colour of Garnet Metallic Red. With stone chips on the bonnet and various other age related marks around the car, a proper repaint by Panelcraft was the only sensible option to preserve the purity of this 924S and now all the panel work has a mirror like finish throughout with reassuring panel gaps. The "telephone dial" alloys have been refurbished and powder coated and finish the car off beautifully.Mechanically the car is reported to be in very good condition. There is a fully stamped service book, initially by Chariots OPC, then independent specialist Autofarm who looked after the car for its 2nd owner for over 23 years.All of the work carried out is supported by invoices including its last service and cambelt change in October 2014, and almost every MoT is present so the mileage of 115,700 is absolutely warranted. The vendor informs us that the car is a delight to drive, the 5-speed gearbox is light to use, the air-conditioning works well, everything feels tight and responsive and very well put together with no rattles, groans or squeaks in evidence anywhere.With only four owners from new (one from 1989 to 2012) and a current MoT until September 2016, the car comes with all its original books, wallet, toolkit, radio/cassette and CD player and a spare key. It is very rare to find a 2.5 924S in this condition and it will be difficult to find another car this weekend offering such a great driving experience at this price.

1973 Porsche 911 RSR Replica

Lot # 228 (Sale Order: 28 of 58)      

The 1970s represented a truly 'rich vein' of Motorsport success for Porsche, regulation changes to 'level the playing field' only tested their resolve and ingenuity. The Porsche 917 was rendered obsolete by late 1972 with rule changes to the World Sportscar Championship now geared for"Prototypes". Without sufficient time to respond and complete a build programme, Porsche switched their attention to the European GT Championship, developing still further the successful 2.7 RS. If ever there was justice, it prevailed in early 1973 when a Porsche 2.8 RSR, virtually 'out of the box', won the 24hrs of Daytona in a field littered with Prototypes. Unsurprisingly, it totally dominated European GTs (considering its 911 underpinnings, a remarkable achievement). The 911 RSR derivatives would remain a 'nemesis' to manufacturers for a decade. Porsche entries won all of the 'Blue Riband' events - Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, etc. with regularity. The RSR proved just perfect for the 1973 Targa Florio, the Lennep/Muller pairing winning in a Martini Racing Carrera. Only 49 Carrera RSRs were built by Porsche, very few remain as road cars and are subsequently fantastically expensive. Considering how dominating and effective these cars were, the build execution was relatively simple. The factory build process can be replicated as long as the 'parts bin contains a 1973 911 shell, the correct 2.8 RSR engine and a talented assembly team.We are informed by the vendor that this stunning RSR replica is built from a genuine 1973 German chassis, and as such may be eligible for historic racing events. Essentially this is an M491 conversion which includes a fully documented full engine rebuild by ATG Auto-Team-Glinde, GMBH at a cost of 12,000 Euros (£8,800). The engine conversion consisted of a tuned 3.0 (2994cc) unit, with RSR pistons, rods and pods, and sports camshafts developing 176kw (240PS). It has been totally overhauled and detailed and a lightweight stainless steel sports exhaust has been fitted. The 5-speed transmission has been rebuilt, suspension lowered and uprated and the whole package is complimented beautifully with the fitting of wide Fuchs alloys with performance tyres at each corner.We are told that externally both the bonnet and rear duck tail deck lid are lightened and secured with deck fasteners, wheel arches both front and back have been flared, correct period decals have been added, spotlights have been fitted to both front wings and finally a lightweight air dam sits up front with an integrated oil cooler. The white bodywork is very straight, the gloss of its paintwork is deep, and its shut lines are reassuringly symmetrical and narrow and almost flawless throughout.Internally, a 10,000 rpm tacho sits in front of the driver along with a 300 kmh speedometer, a beautiful Momo Corse suede leather steering wheel is fitted, complimented by a superb pair of lightweight adjustable RS bucket seats, lightweight door cards and pull handles and of course, the deletion of  the rear seating and radio. Importantly the vendor informs us that the sale includes a full rollover cage front and rear plus race harnesses as seen in the pictures, and these can be easily fitted should the new owner wish.Sold with UK Nova documentation, fresh MOT, historical 27 page Dekra report (done after the RSR conversion), current German Fahrzeugbrief and Fahrzeeugschein with historic German registration, and Nova UK paperwork ready for UK registration.Commit yourself to an intensive lesson in rear engined physics, and the reward lies in the sense that you've mastered something really special.

2007 Porsche 911 (997) GT3 ClubSport

Lot # 229 (Sale Order: 29 of 58)      

In February 2006, Porsche revealed the first generation 997 GT3 which, in addition to a new 415 hp, 3.6 litre flat-six engine featured "zero lift" aerodynamics, meaning the car creates only aerodynamic downforce and no grip-diminishing "lift". The vehicle made use of a modified, race developed version of Porsche's active suspension making it the first of Porsche's RS or GT3 versions to feature an electronically adjustable suspension system. The vehicle has a rated 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 193 miles per hour (311 km/h). The GT3 returned to the styling of the original, with a sculptured flowing rear spoiler rather than the flat slab RS variety. The 997 GT3 was tuned for track day events, but with rose-jointed suspension, possessed an uncanny ability to ride comfortably over poor tarmac. The six-speed manual transmission was also adapted to the new GT3 engine's extended power band by changing the gear ratios. This particular example was built on the 4th of April 2007 and dispatched to the Porsche Centre Colchester. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic the car was optioned from new with the ClubSport Package and lightweight Carbon Bucket seats.Showing a mere 23,197 miles it is quite clear that this car has been well looked after and maintained. The service book shows the following records;30/04/2007 - Porsche Centre Colchester - 3mls - Delivery Inspection23/10/2009 - Porsche Centre West London - 6,395mls - Minor Service23/06/2011 - Alexander's Ltd - 9,332mls - Major Service 25/07/2012 - Club Autosport Ltd - 14,262mls - Minor Service27/02/2013 - Club Autosport Ltd - 16,720mls - Minor Service18/02/2015 - Porsche Centre Solihull - 22,172mls - Major ServiceThe vehicle underwent a major service in February of this year at  the Porsche Centre Solihull, including a full drive belt change, new spark plugs and fresh brake fluid replacement. In March new rear springs were fitted and, just prior to the auction date, further work is scheduled to include a rear brake disc replacement and Bilstein front shock absorber reconditioning.Accompanying the car are the results of a Porsche 111 point check carried out by Porsche Centre Solihull and a Rev Range data sheet dated March 2014 indicating that the car has never been over revved.A lovely example of a 997 GT3, a true thoroughbred 911 that faithfully encapsulates the pure Porsche driving experience.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring

Lot # 230 (Sale Order: 30 of 58)      

The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is regarded by many collectors and journalists as the greatest 911 ever produced. The car was manufactured as a direct result of Porsche's racing (RennSport) programme. Porsche stripped most of the weight out of the existing 911 by using thinner metal for body panels, thinner glass and removing sound proofing. Performance was also enhanced with larger rear wheel arches housing 7" wheels, a 'ducktail' rear spoiler, larger brakes and a larger fuel injected 2,687cc engine producing 210bhp. FIA Group 4 regulations for homologation required that at least 500 examples had to be produced to exacting lightweight competition specification for road use. Porsche eventually produced 1,580 RS examples made up of cars built to both 'Touring' specification, offering basic comfort trim and upholstery, and 'Lightweight' specification. Only 55 in total were transformed to full RSR racing guise, and they went on to dominate the 1973 European GT Championship with outright wins at the Daytona 24-hours and Targa Florio. Hence, the 911 RS legend was born. Since then its unique profile and ducktail have become iconic in the world of classic cars.   Chassis number 9113600235 was built to Touring specification and is a rare and highly sought after "early 500" true homologation car. The vehicle is built in the thinner metal and is as close as you will get to an actual lightweight without sacrificing the comfort of the touring interior. The car was delivered new in Germany in December 1972 and, according to factory records, detailed in the Carrera RS book by Dr. Gruber and Dr. Konradsheim, was delivered with electrically heated & tinted rear window (M102), limited-slip differential (M220), head rest left and right (M258), sport seats, Recaro (M409), shoulder lap belts, auto-retractable (M549).The vehicle spent its life in Germany until it was imported into Denmark in 1988 by a recognized Porsche specialist as his private purchase. #235 then became subject to a three year full restoration with the purpose of preparing the car for long-term ownership. And so he did. The Porsche specialist entered the car in multiple events in Germany, Austria, UK, Sweden and Spain. His work stood the test of time, and just to mention one result the car and driver won the 2004 Porsche Parade handling competition at the Catalunya F1 circuit, Barcelona, Spain amongst 350 participating cars.After 26 years in his ownership #235 was passed on to the current owner. The car has been well maintained and runs very well as a result. A skilled RS-specialist (with 16 full RS restorations and a high number of RS inspections in the books) concludes that #235 is among the best kept chassis he has come across. As a gesture to its rarity, and underlining how this car is built to be used and enjoyed, the car runs a 2.7 magnesium block, type 911/81, while the rare original and unused RS-block (type 911/83 - #6630259) is spared and follows the car.Several valuable and sought after collectibles come with the car including an original tool set, the Carrera RS book by Dr. Thomas Gruber and Dr. Georg Konradsheim, the original Porsche magazine" Christopherus" issue no. 119 from November 1972 (with the first article about the RS introduction) and the original 1972 Porsche Carrera RS sales brochure as well as other magazines from the time of launch.Silverstone Auctions can report that this RS drives as it should and represents a rare opportunity to purchase an iconic 911 - in an even rarer early 500 edition - ready to use and enjoy.

1972 Porsche 911E to Semi-Rally Spec.

Lot # 231 (Sale Order: 31 of 58)      

This wonderfully presented 911 Porsche began its life in 1972 as a left-hand drive 911E, according to the chassis plate.  However, having undergone a complete rebuild, it now looks similar to a 911T with the hint of a rally car.The car benefitted from new floor pans, front pan, dash top and interior trim including door cards and a new carpet and was fully painted from a bare metal shell in Guards Red.The engine, which is now a 2.2 from a 911T, has recently been replaced and is very strong and coupled to a positive gearbox with excellent synchromesh.  This bright red 911 sports some nice replica Minilites, an RS front spoiler and some big spotlights to complete the package.To sum up, this attractive Porsche is a good fun, entry-level contender into the 911 scene and offered today at 'No Reserve' may represent excellent value.

1976 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Targa

Lot # 232 (Sale Order: 32 of 58)      

Built for just two years between 1976 and 1977, and filling a gap between the basic 911 and the 930 Turbo, the Carrera 3 occupies a special place in 911 history.Its 3 litre, horizontally opposed, air cooled engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection produced 200bhp at 6,000 rpm and 188lb/ft of torque, and was basically the 2994cc engine from the 930 Turbo without the forced air induction. Mated with either a 4 or 5-speed version of Porsche's excellent 915 manual gearbox these were quick cars.Production numbers were relatively small during this two year period with just over three and a half thousand rolling off the line, of which 1,123 were Targas. We believe of these, only 181 were right-hand drive and destined for the UK and, as there are probably less than half of those around now, these Targas are rare cars.Most manufacturers struggle with torsional rigidity when trying to convert their coupés into convertibles (the other way around is often easier), and Porsche were no exception in the early sixties when trying to let the breeze into their new 901 (later 911). The solution was to build the car with a roll hoop as part of the chassis and when this was streamlined and cosmetically enhanced it worked well, and the result was an attractive "half-convertible" that was stiff and handled predictably. At a marketing meeting to decide a name for this new concept, Cologne dealer Walter Franz threw "Targa" into the hat conjuring up images of their success with an open-top car in the hard-fought Targa Florio under a glorious Sicilian Sun. Whilst considering this possibility, someone pointed out to Harald Wagner, the marketing director that "targa" was Italian for "shield" and signified strength and safety, which obviously appealed to the Teutonic sense of responsibility, and so the name was adopted and is still in use today.This particular 3.0 Carrera Targa is one of the original RHD, UK examples and was purchased by our current vendor from Autofarm in Oxfordshire around 18 years ago, and at the time of purchase, was in the sort of condition that you would expect from an Autofarm retailed car. The car had a number of owners prior to their purchase, but fortunately a lot of the car's early history was still with the vehicle and they were able to provide our vendor with this, and it will be present as part of the sale.The current odometer reading is 75,500 miles, and amazingly the car has only covered some 2,000 miles in the last 18 years. During this period it's been kept in a dry garage, all the fluids kept fresh, occasionally started and run up to temperature and used for local trips.This Carrera 3.0 is finished in the lovely period colour of Ice Green Metallic with a Black leather interior. Described as being in nice original condition throughout but would inevitably be improved with a bit of love and attention. The "Carrera Cup" wheels appear unblemished. It drives quite well with no obvious problems but would naturally benefit from being regularly used. The MoT expires next May.These cars were only made in limited numbers and are becoming scarce and collectable, and this cool, Ice Green example with its relatively low mileage (less than 2,000 a year) and lovely original condition makes a lot of sense.

1974 Porsche 911 2.7 MFI

Lot # 233 (Sale Order: 33 of 58)      

We are very fortunate in this country in having a number of dedicated and enthusiastic specialists who spend their lives working on, and restoring older Porsches. However the name "Autofarm" has almost become the first thing that springs to mind when someone is considering how to deal with anything relating to an early Porsche. For over 40 years, this Weston-on-the-Green based company have quietly been building a reputation for their deep knowledge of the Marque and their legendary attention to detail. The company was formed in 1973, which co-incidentally was the effective year of manufacture of, possibly, the most iconic Porsche of all time, the original 3.0 RS.With only 109 ever made and not many of those in road-going spec, the '74 3.0 RS has become really sought after and very high prices now render them unattainable for most people, but their perceived value has nothing to do with their ability to out perform the financial markets. Very simply the 3.0 RS is just "the business" in terms of dynamics and driver feed back and anyone who has driven a well sorted 3.0 RS, quickly, across country will know that, for a short time, as a driver they have been "somewhere special" and may never be able to return there.This is not an Advertorial for Autofarm or the 3.0 RS, but simply to help put into context, the RS Recreation we are presenting here.This wonderful Porsche is a 2.7 MFI manufactured in 1973, first registered in 1974 and still retaining its original engine. It has had nine previous owners and was purchased by the present owner from Autofarm following the conversion/recreation they carried out between 1992/95. Being a '74 MFI with the 911/83 engine, albeit a 2.7 it was the perfect basis for the recreation of an RS. Autofarm's intention was to create a 3.0 RS replica that was correct in every detail and not just a cosmetic copy, so the body was stripped and received new sills, wings, roof, front tank supports and a half cage before having a full engine out re-spray.It's worth listing some of the specification here; 930 Brake Calipers/ 930 Rear trailing arms/ Turbo track-rod ends/ Bilstein dampers front and rear/braided brake lines/adjustable pedal box/ front mounted Setrab oil cooler/ aluminium strut brace/ colour coded 8x15 and 9x15 Fuchs (replica) alloys/ steel Porsche arches/ 3.0 RS front and rear fibreglass bumpers/ fibreglass bonnet and "Whale-tail"/ lightweight interior with 3.0 RS door cards and pull handles/ Rennsport bucket seats and Willans harnesses/ 915 gearbox/ SSI's exhaust with twin rear outlets/ Magnecor leads/ lightweight starter/ new alternator, CV boots, clutch cable, fuel pump, etc, etc.The car has recently had fresh fluids all round and a full geometric suspension alignment check by Autofarm. There is a comprehensive History File, containing photos of the conversion, quotes, invoices, service history and a number of MoTs. The car now looks fabulous in gleaming white with gold wheels and the Carrera decals on the side in white and gold all surrounding a workmanlike and purposeful black interior.This is a very usable classic 911, and as an original is probably beyond reach, this very detailed recreation offers the performance, handling and general dynamics at a fraction of the cost, and is now ready for its next lucky owner to cherish and enjoy.

1974 Porsche 914 2.0 Targa

Lot # 234 (Sale Order: 34 of 58)      

By the late sixties, both Volkswagen and Porsche were in need of new models; Porsche was looking for a replacement for their entry level 912, and Volkswagen wanted a new range topping coupé to replace the ageing Karmann Ghia. The Porsche 914 or VW-Porsche 914 was the result of this joint venture and was a mid-engined, Targa-topped, rear wheel drive, two seat roadster designed, manufactured and marketed by both companies from 1969 to 1976. Over the years, engine configurations and sizes varied, but in later years the car was powered by a 1971cc fuel-injected, flat-four producing around 100bhp.The car we are offering here today is a left-hand drive, 2.0 ltr. Targa and was initially registered in California to Park Porsche of Manchester Boulevard, Buena Park, California in 1974.The original Bill of Sale (with the car) indicates that a number of options appear to have been "No Charge", (Hard Top, Fuel Injection and a Roll Bar) but others were chargeable and they include the Appearance Group (cosmetic I guess), Chrome Bumpers, Tinted Glass and a whopping (in '74) $380 for Alloy Wheels.This 914 has had five owners to date, two in the US, two in Sweden and our current vendor in Denmark.In 2008, work was started, on what was to turn out to be, a six-year restoration completed in 2014.Taken back to bare metal, the body was professionally painted in its original colour of Bahia Red (L30E) and the engine was completely rebuilt using a new block (bored to 2.1ltr), topped with performance cams and Dellorto 45s.The suspension was rebuilt with Bilsteins, the front brakes were upgraded and the whole system restored. During the re-assembly process all bolts, screws and nuts were in stainless steel. The whole project was photographed, and there are dozens of photos in the file, some taken from three or four inches away, which you don't do unless you are really proud of your work.A GT engine lid and a set of five-bolt Fuchs completes the package and the car was recently serviced and tuned by a specialist.As well as all the photos, the history file contains lots of invoices and service history and surprisingly, the original Bill of Sale.I don't remember these 914s appearing very exciting in period, and they certainly never enjoyed the dramatic -poster on the bedroom wall -desirability of the 911, however the passage of 40 years has changed that somewhat, and they now have a lovely seventies appeal particularly in this amazing condition. These cars are rapidly becoming sought after, and this sparkling little red Porsche is sitting here awaiting a new owner. You might just feel inclined to take it home, gift wrap it, and pop it under the Christmas Tree.

1989 Porsche 911 (930) Speedster 3.2 Turbo Body

Lot # 235 (Sale Order: 35 of 58)      

Inspired by the iconic 1950's Porsche 356 Speedster's unique low line look, Porsche produced the 911 3.2 Carrera Speedster in 1989 only, with just 2,104 made worldwide, of which only a few were right hand drive UK cars. Offered in narrow or turbo bodied form, the Speedster was a sleek, low swept model with a distinctive low raked windscreen and 'speed humps' behind both driver and passenger. Considered to be a very attractive design by the cognoscenti of the day, it featured the popular, powerful and reliable 3.2 Carrera engine producing 231 bhp, a 0-60mph time of 5.4 seconds and a top speed of over 150mph.Supplied new on 1st September 1989 by Merlin Porsche Chesterfield, this original UK right-hand drive, Turbo-bodied Speedster looks stunning in Black with a Black leather interior. Purchased by our vendor in 1998 from Rivervale (now Mid-Sussex Porsche), the car has since been driven on many an enjoyable trip to Europe, including weekends at the Le Mans Classic, Nurburgring Oldtimer Grand Prix and even the Mille Miglia. During our vendor's tenure, many concours events have been entered & won - testament to the amount of pampering this car has enjoyed throughout its life.A comprehensive history file accompanies the car including invoices from AFN Porsche and Rivervale, along with 22 MoT certificates and most recently, an invoice from Precision Porsche who carried out some remedial paintwork of the bonnet, front wings and front bumper to remove all stone chips. Contained within the original leather book pack are the driver's manual, 911 Speedster supplementary driver's manual and the service book which now shows 19 service stamps, the last of which was carried out on 4th December '14 by Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex. At this time, the mileage recorded was 55,193 miles, with only 75 miles being covered since. This Speedster comes complete with its space-saver spare wheel (which has never been used), an electric tyre inflator, tool roll and a custom-made tonneau cover by JSM Trimmings, Lewes.Thoroughly cherished over the past 17 years of ownership by our vendor, himself a Porsche Club GB member, this Speedster is one of only 64 UK-specification cars, presenting the new owner with the chance to own a rare Porsche indeed. With an odometer reading of only 55,268 miles and an MoT certificate until 30th July '16, this car would not look out of place in any Porsche collection today.

The 3.2 Carrera is revered as the ultimate development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963, before being replaced by the 964 series in 1990. These final cars were the most flexible and usable of Butzi Porsche's original design. The all-alloy flat-6 engine, which had been fuel injected since 1971 received a final stretch to 3,164 cc, giving a torquey 231hp, enough to propel the lithe and slippery icon to over 150mph, with 0-60mph coming up in 5.6 seconds. Cars built from September 1986 onward received the more user-friendly G50 gearbox, but all 3.2 Carreras feature galvanized bodies which together with Porsche's legendary build quality ensures that these classics are long-lasting.The car we present to you here has the distinction of being a Super Sports, a factory option that in 1989 weighed in at around £10,000 more than a standard 3.2 911. The Super Sports offered all the external styling cues of a 911 Turbo without the demanding handling traits of its overpowered sibling. Porsche AG's records of official Super Sports production is sketchy, but according to a well-researched article in the Porsche Post 2010 (August) only eighteen right-hand drive Super Sports cabriolets were made between 1987 and 1989.This 1989 Super Sports cabriolet offers the new owner the opportunity, not only to own a car that is so rare it makes a Ferrari blush, but has the perfect ‘drivers mileage' of 48,641 miles. The history file contains the original handbooks and a letter of origin from Porsche Cars Great Britain confirming the option codes, including M491 (the all important Super Sports) and G5000 transmission, denoting the highly desirable G50 gearbox. The fully stamped service book is up to date with the last service at 42,449. Under the current vendor's ownership, the car has benefited from regular oil changes and mini-services with receipts on file.Presented today in largely original condition, with later additions including an alarm,(currently disconnected) and a CD player. The black paintwork gleams, and there are one or two stone chips at the front, inevitable in a car that's 26 years old and easily remedied. The black velour carpeting is in great condition and the Silk Grey leather seats show subtle but contemporary patina. The Fuchs wheels are in great order, and the "Whale Tail" shows good colour without the fading normally seen. The unmarked electric hood works perfectly and a tonneau cover, which was being cleaned at the time of photography, comes with the car. As an added bonus, the vendor has generously included the private registration 911 JXE in the sale.At the time of consignment the vendor stated that the car languished in his garage, regularly started, run up to temperature and driven short distances, but was rarely enjoyed as designed, vying for attention between its stablemates and the vendor's business commitments. A great opportunity to own a fabulous, head-turning, eighties design icon in a rare colour scheme and one of only a handful of its type in the UK.

** REGRETFULLY WITHDRAWN **

Lot # 237 (Sale Order: 37 of 58)      

Porsche produced the 911E from 1969 until 1973, and it was designed to be the more comfortable and drivable of the 911 range fitting in between the 911T (Touring) and the 911S (Super). The designation 'E' came from the German for injection: "Einspritzung" and this referred to the pioneering mechanical fuel injection system (MFI) used on the 911E and the 911S and developed jointly between Bosch and Porsche. The benefits were more power and better driveability with a cleaner running engine. Porsche also conceded that a few more comfort features would be welcomed and the braking system was also improved to deal with the improved performance.Offered here is a matching numbers, right-hand drive Porsche 911E 2.4 finished in the very pleasing combination of Light Ivory with a black interior. The original service maintenance record shows AFN Ltd. carried out the car's initial service on 24-10-72 after 531 miles. It was subject to very comprehensive restoration in 1994/5 by Marque specialists Autofarm, who are well known for keeping detailed records of their work, and the history file contains a very full inventory of this restoration together with photos and invoices cataloguing the considerable expenditure. At the same time, the colour was changed from Sepia Brown to the current Light Ivory. The car's original specification included a factory steel sunroof. This delightful Ivory 911E presents well today, but would benefit from  a little recommissioning as it has stood for some time. It is a striking, solid and usable example of this early seventies matching numbers Porsche.The 911E was regarded as the most dynamic and best driving 911 in period, and at today's guide certainly looks tempting for the enthusiast or investor.

1958 Porsche 356A Coupe

Lot # 238 (Sale Order: 38 of 58)      

Porsche introduced the 356A at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955 which thoroughly updated their 356 line-up of Coupés, Cabriolets and Speedsters. Major changes were the 1600 cc engine, curved screen and revised suspension. Ruetter remained the coachbuilder. Tyre technology was improving which better suited suspension changes and higher fuel octanes allowed better performance. From the outside, the 356A was only slightly different with wider tyres, a rubber strip below the doors and the curved screen marking the changes. The interior now boasted a flat-face dashboard, locking glove box and a radio.Other modern appointments included a headlight flasher, automatic interior lighting and self-cancelling indicators. Offered here is a rare right-hand drive Porsche 356A Coupé finished in the very pleasing combination of Black (5701) with Tan upholstery. The V5 shows just five previous owners. The overall condition is very solid and this is a usable example of a significant Porsche. Fully restored cars can reach into six figures but this is a delightful early Porsche that could be enjoyed as it is or could form the foundation of a very worthwhile restoration. We 'get it' just as it is! It seems that the original engine or crankcases have been changed at some time in its life but the numbers are in the correct range. The car was originally blue but received a bare metal respray a few years ago and has been family owned since 1991. The history file contains various invoices from specialists like Roger Bray, Paragon and Marque. In 2011 extensive engine rebuild work was carried out by Cambridge Rebores. It comes with an MOT until June 2016. This is charming and rare, right-hand drive, 356A Coupé, that's a practical classic to be used and enjoyed whilst (hopefully) appreciating in value.

2006 Porsche 911 (997) C4S

Lot # 239 (Sale Order: 39 of 58)      

The 997 became the most commercially successful 911 to date, having sold 100,000 units of the first generation alone between its introduction in 2005 and July 2007. It has also received lots of positive reviews from the worldwide motoring press, with even the Porsche-baiting Jeremy Clarkson noting that the 997 will "make love to your fingertips and stir your soul."For over fifty years the Porsche 911 was the only mainstream sports car available, that would reliably start on cold mornings, thunder down the motorway, corner with confidence and had enough room in the back for shopping or children on the way to school. It became the professional's sports car of choice, without the histrionics of Italian exotica or the occasional frustrations of British sports cars.The 997 C4S was, and still is, widely regarded as the greatest non-turbo version of the 911 with the four wheel drive system providing the grip that ensured stable handling and predictable cornering, eminently suitable for our wet British roads. The C4S differed from its sibling with an increased engine capacity to 3.8 litres, lowered suspension with PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), in simple terms dynamically adjustable dampers, 19inch wheels and an uprated braking system from the 911 Turbo. The larger wheels suited the car well and the sports exhaust made the 997 C4S a bit of a growler, prowling through town, sheathed in flawless, understated metal with Zero to Sixty being achieved in comfort and safety in a mere 4.5 seconds.To some, the 997 was aesthetically muted and lacked a little of the supercar drama that they sought. The factory fitted Aero Kit had been a popular choice on its predecessor the 996 and a similar kit was available for the 997 and is fitted here. Some would argue that flawless beauty is often enhanced by understated styling details, and the Aero Kit enhances the 997's sleek lines without vulgarity. The car we have on offer today, ticks every available box for the driving enthusiast who requires a performance car that can be used daily. The factory fitted Aero Kit headlines the option list that includes 19inch Carrera wheels, automatically dimming interior and rain sensors. This UK right-hand drive manual first generation C4S has been cosseted its entire life with Porsche main dealer servicing and is finished in the wonderful colour combination of Midnight Blue with Sand leather.Owned since 2009 by a discerning lady doctor, the car's third owner, and kept in a heated and dehumidified garage whilst connected to a battery conditioner, the car was regularly to be seen stretching its legs on a misty morning along the winding lochside roads through the glens of Scotland. The car has covered a mere 37,000 miles and comes complete with a number of substantial service bills and a valid MoT until September 2016.In this heightened Porsche market, an opportunity to own a superlative car that is virtually identical to the current model, at a third of the price, is rare and not to be missed.

2003 Porsche 911 (996) GT3 RS

Lot # 240 (Sale Order: 40 of 58)      

Porsche introduced the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in 2003 as an even more track-focused version of the 996 GT3. The "RS" moniker, characteristic lightweight blue or red wheels and "GT3 RS" side stickers link the 996 GT3 RS to historically important Porsches such as the Carrera 2.7 RS of the early 1970s. The RS is lighter than its GT3 sibling, thanks to the use of a polycarbonate rear window and a carbon fibre bonnet and rear wing.The 996 GT3 RS has a slightly different engine specification to the 996 GT3, with the cylinder heads having reshaped intake and exhaust ports to comply with race homologation regulations. The wheel carriers are totally redesigned to maximize the improved dynamic camber control, the suspension top mounts can be turned 120 degrees to a "Cup Car" position and both front and rear control arms are adjustable.During the 996 GT3 RS production run from 2003 to 2005, Porsche built only 140 right-hand drive cars and 113 of those were officially imported into to the UK.This RHD 996 GT3 RS is finished in Carrera White with Blue decals and detailing and is in stunning condition throughout, having had just two previous owners. The car has all the usual GT3 RS specification including: roll cage, rear console in exterior colour, automatic air conditioning, top tinted windscreen, Porsche CDR 23 radio, blue belts, blue harnesses, Alcantara steering wheel, fire extinguisher, blue decals and factory-finish blue wheels with a polished edge.Along with the standard specification, some carefully selected modifications have been carried out to enhance the driving experience. These include uprated Bilstein suspension and upgraded rose jointed triple rear links, Cargraphic exhaust, Alcon front discs and a Fabspeed custom carbon air intake. This example has been used and cherished by a true Porsche enthusiast and has been maintained regardless of cost.Showing 26,889 miles, the car is presented with a range of invoices detailing work carried out on the vehicle and a service book showing the following stamps:27/08/04 - Porsche Centre Guildford - 14,888 mls15/09/11 - Tognola Engineering Ltd  - 19,234 mls 25/09/12 - Tognola Engineering Ltd -  22,889 mls 11/12/13 - Tognola Engineering Ltd -  24,672 mls 05/03/14 - Tognola Engineering Ltd -  26,639 mlsThe 996 is the first generation of the modern day GT3 RS models and will always be celebrated as one of Porsche's true driver's cars.

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe SE

Lot # 241 (Sale Order: 41 of 58)      

The 911 Carrera 3.2 made its debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September 1983, reviving the ‘Carrera' name for the first time since 1977. Although it remained an air-cooled 'flat-six', the '3.2' engine was 80% new and incorporated an effective cam chain tensioner and associated lubrication system that at last addressed a perennial 911 shortcoming. This enlarged and extensively revised new engine produced 231bhp, 27 up on its predecessor, endowing the Carrera with excellent performance. 0-60 in 5.3, 0-100 in 13.6 seconds and a top speed of 152mph were figures not too far away from the legendary 1974 Turbo.It's in Porsche's DNA to refine their models over production periods focusing on factors such as functionality, performance and design and so, naturally, during the 6 year production period of the 3.2 Carrera, many options and iterations were available for customers when ordering their new 911. Ordered and registered in March 1986, this Carrera SE (Sports Equipment) in Guards Red with a ‘colour to sample' leather interior (Linen with red piping) is a perfect reflection on the options available to customers back in the eighties to refine their Porsche to suit the exclusiveness of owning a Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2.The current vendor has meticulously researched and clarified exactly the options ordered on this car. Comprehensive correspondence with PCGB and Porsche themselves, confirm that this Porsche 911 Carrera Coupé SE is a ‘Turbo Look' whereby, at one point on the production line, this car was taken to the Exclusive Department for modifications to replace the ‘standard equipment with Sport Equipment, Turbo front and rear spoilers and running gear'. Porsche go on to state that ‘As Exclusive options are not recorded in the usual way, owing to their exclusivity, no option M491 (commonly known as ‘Supersport') appears on the vehicle's VIN sticker'.All of this results in a Porsche factory verified ‘Turbo Look' 911 currently showing around 80,700 miles, that's certainly an excellent example of the model. Owned by the current vendor since 2002, all recent service history is present here including detailed information on parts replaced and maintained (the exhaust, clutch, starter, ball joints for example) confirming the attention the car has received and verifying the 80,000 recorded miles. On his purchase in 2002, the mileage indicated was 59,113 which our vendor believes to be genuine but cannot confirm. Competitively priced and ready to go, this is a superb example and a true testament to Porsche's reputation for building quality performance cars with everyday usability.We have a large amount of information on the provenance and history (Factory option codes, Certificate of Authenticity, annual mileages since 2002, MoTs from then and one from 1999, and some period literature) of this very special and unusual Porsche. There is too much to list here, but if this wonderful car interests you please get in touch and we can let you have all the relevant information.

1990 Porsche 928 S4 Auto

Lot # 242 (Sale Order: 42 of 58)      

With the 928, Porsche created a serious long distance grand touring car that was also at home on twisting B-roads thanks to super direct steering, 50/50 weight distribution and a clever Weissach rear axle that kept the car firmly planted. Porsche continuously developed the 928 throughout its production life, culminating with the launch of the S4 in 1987, which differed slightly from the earlier Series cars with its smoothed off front and rear bumpers, larger rear spoiler, more interior equipment and a 5-litre version of the V8 engine developing 330 bhp.This 1990 Porsche 928 S4 Automatic is finished in Satin Black Metallic and has a Cream Linen leather interior with carpets to match. Accompanying the car, is a comprehensive history file which includes a service book showing that the car was maintained at a Porsche Main Dealer until 60,000 miles, after which time it has been maintained by model experts, 928 Spares of Stroud and Loe Bank Motors of Bury.The cambelt was changed, along with all the auxiliary belts, and it was given a major service and thorough check over by Chris Sanderson at Loe Bank Motors in September ‘14, at which point the car had covered 65,000 miles. In August this year, it was again serviced by Loe Bank Motors and the crankshaft end float was measured at 0.25mm. The aforementioned specialist also commented on how well its condition presented underneath, inside and outside.This car is completely original and retains the original wheels, mirrors and even its radio. It has fully functioning electric memory seats, including lumbar support and heaters in both front seats and is fitted with Porsche's electronic Limited Slip Differential (PSD). The air conditioning is also in good working order - quite a rarity on a 928!Now showing only 68,000 miles on the odometer (warranted by previous MoTs and service records) and supplied with a UK V5C and MoT until 4th September 2016, this car represents the opportunity to acquire a highly collectable and original late eighties classic Porsche.

1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo LE

Lot # 243 (Sale Order: 43 of 58)      

First launched at the 1973 Paris Auto Show, with production commencing in 1975, the Porsche 911 ‘930' Turbo was a genuine Supercar that came to define both the 1970s and 80s and was one of the fastest production cars available at that time. The basic engine underpinnings came from the Carrera 2.7RS with its capacity increased to 3.0 Litres and, of course, turbocharged with technology gleaned from Porsche's 917/30 Can-Am programme. The bodywork came in for special treatment resulting in one of the most aggressive looking Porsches ever made with its wide arches and impressive rear "whale-tail" and the brakes were borrowed directly from the Porsche 917 race car. At the end of production in 1989, Porsche decided to mark the occasion by creating a very special Limited Edition 930 - the ultimate Turbo. A small number of the last assembly batch of standard 3.3 litre cars were taken off the line and sent to the 'Exclusive' team at Zuffenhausen to be finished by hand. With just 53 of these cars produced, one for each UK dealership in 1989, a host of bespoke options were offered including colour-coded wheels, top tinted windscreen, a choice of special colours for interior & exterior, rear quarter air intake ducts, electric sunroof, heated multi-adjust electric seats, and gold ‘Turbo' lettering stitched behind the seats to name but a few. Each car also featured a Gold Plaque on the centre console and a Gold gear knob top as recognition of the LE's place in Porsche 911 history. First registered on 30th June 1989, this original UK right-hand drive car is finished in popular Guards Red with a cream leather interior, piped red with matching Linen carpets and cream dials. Under the watchful ownership of our vendor for the last 12 years, the car has been professionally resprayed in its original colour and the interior has benefitted from a full re-trim and re-carpeted with the original specification Silverknit carpet, all of which has been photographically documented on a CD. The air conditioning is fully operational, new heat exchangers have been fitted and the car was recently serviced. This Turbo LE has been expertly maintained throughout its years by main dealers and specialist Porsche garages. It has a fully stamped service book warranting its 49,435 miles from new and also retains its original build stickers under the bonnet and on the B-pillars detailing the LE's factory option codes. This car was capable of a top speed of 174mph and 0 - 60 in 4.76 seconds when new in 1989, and our vendor enthuses that it's still a truly exhilarating car to drive when that big turbo kicks in!In fine condition and wearing the apt registration ‘A9H LE', this 930 Turbo LE is supplied with a UK V5c and an MoT until March 2016. With a 14-year production run for the 930 Turbo, these last 53 Limited Edition cars are arguably the most collectable, and this car represents an opportunity to own a rare iconic Porsche.

1985 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo SE 'Flatnose'

Lot # 244 (Sale Order: 44 of 58)      

Anyone who followed the "World Championship of Makes" (essentially an international championship for long distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently these 'Flachbau' or 'Flatnose' 935s and 936s were to prove very competitive in the hands of drivers such as Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. However, Porsche began to worry that all these victories by the works Flatnose cars might alienate the vast number of private clients who were investing their own money in conventionally shaped competition 911s, and decided to restrict their efforts for 1978 to an entry at Le Mans. The distinctive look of the 'Flachbau' (literally translated as Low Build) obviously retained its appeal in the minds of their road car customers and from 1985 until early 1989, UK Porsche 930 buyers could specify their car in this style to special order.This 1985 Porsche 930 SE Flatnose was first registered on 11th November 1985 by Porsche GB Ltd on the famous ‘911 HUL’ number plate. The 1st of just 50, right-hand drive factory "Flatnose" models, this example was the Porsche GB press car for many months and featured in numerous publications such as ‘Car' Magazine  in January 1986.The SE ‘Flatnose’ was a fully bespoke, hand-built option for the 1980's Porsche buyer and was over twice as expensive as a standard 930 Turbo when new. Finished in its original colour of Silver Metallic this example was not only the first delivered to the UK, but featured a number of superb factory options, including the extremely rare Recaro Ideal ‘C’ seats, special order full Can-Can Red leather interior, a full engine conversion with 330bhp, and a modified front spoiler and oil cooler and all of these specifications are confirmed by Porsche GB. The car was purchased by its 4th and current owner over 16 years ago in April 1999 at 12,200 miles and with the odometer now reading just 33,500 miles, this SE ‘Flatnose’ boasts an impeccable documented service history from new, substantiating the mileage and demonstrating that this example has been cared for by knowledgeable Porsche experts such as Bob Watson Engineering, Steve Bull, Porsche GB Reading and Stratstone of Wilmslow. Supplied with its original stamped service books, manuals, wallet, a comprehensive invoice file since 1999 and a number of previous MoT certificates, potential buyers are welcome to take a close look at the service records of this vehicle and we welcome any inspections.

1993 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2 Targa Florio

Lot # 245 (Sale Order: 45 of 58)      

As the transition from '964' to the '993' model took place at the end of 1993/early 1994, Porsche came up with an innovative solution for the final production run of the 964 model by taking the remaining Targa bodies and launching a limited edition 'Targa Florio' model for the European market only. Restricted to just six official UK right hand drive cars, the model was produced by 'Porsche Exclusive' who designed a special unique interior for the car designated 'Florio' to commemorate Porsche's historic success in the famous Italian long distance race of the same name. It was a full leather trim with the Porsche shield featuring on several interior surfaces and the Targa posts also had the 'Florio' emblem embossed into them.This particular UK matching numbers car was finished in black metallic with a light grey leather (neither of which were available on the standard 964 model, but were on the later 993) with the factory air conditioning option. First registered late in 1993, the car has a comprehensive service history confirming the mileage of 76,000 from new and has just benefitted from a full recommissioning by highly respected marque experts Tech9. This work included a full service, a new clutch and the brakes refurbished throughout.This is a rare 'milestone' car from Porsche in exceptional condition, and is now ready to be enjoyed again and comes to the Sale with a fresh MoT and a history file.

1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0

Lot # 246 (Sale Order: 46 of 58)      

The interesting Carrera 3.0 is rightly regarded as somewhat of a special and rare model amongst the impact-bumper era, 911 model range. It was introduced in September 1975 for the 1976 model year and production only ran until 1977.Following on after the MFI-engined Carrera 2.7, the 3.0 Carrera heralded the adoption of the newly developed Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection engine. This torque-rich, smooth and free-revving 3.0-litre engine, with a distinctive ‘cam' effect from 4,000rpm, produced 200 bhp and was effectively a naturally aspirated version of the 930 Turbo's drivetrain (using the same die-cast aluminium crankcase and gearbox housing for durability).Although having slightly less power than the outgoing Carrera 2.7, it had considerably more torque (188 lb/ft at 4200 rpm) and with its new fuel injection system was one of the earliest Porsches to return economical fuel consumption figures without a significant performance loss. The Carrera 3.0 was able to accelerate from 0-60 mph and 0-100 mph in almost identical times to the original 2.7 RS and 2.7 Carrera.This respectable performance was aided further by the relatively light weight (1093 kg) of the 3.0 Carrera compared to its successors. It is almost 6% lighter than the SC (1160kg), almost 10% lighter than the 3.2 (1210kg) and surprisingly, also weighs less than the later (1987-1989) stripped-down Carrera 3.2 Club Sport (1170kg).During its short two-year life span, only 3,687 cars were built - a tiny amount compared to nearly 58,000 911 SCs and 76,500 3.2 Carreras produced. Of these, 2,564 were Coupés and 1,123 were Targas with only around 1,064 Coupés being manufactured in right-hand drive. Very few RHD cars reached the UK, and with just a two year production run, only 121 Carrera 3.0 Coupés (combined ‘Sport' and ‘Comfort' versions) are verified by their chassis numbers with the Porsche Club GB.The 3.0 Carrera model was highly rated by Porsche gurus Michael Cotton, Lindsey Porter and Peter Morgan, and was the road car of choice of legendary British Rally champion Roger (Albert) Clark.The car offered here is a 1977 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 Coupé in distinctive Copper Bronze Metallic, contrasting nicely with the Tan leather trim and Porsche Fabric seats.It's a UK-supplied, 5-speed, matching numbers car, with 10 previous owners (the first owner is believed to be the founder of Topps Tiles), and was specified with electric windows and sunroof, cruise-control and AC (which was not working at the time of consignment).Its current owner has enjoyed his charismatic bronze Porsche since 1994, and it has been carefully re-commissioned over the last few years after being laid up for a period of time.The car has covered 111,000 miles at this point, but has always been well maintained and has only done approximately 2,500 miles since receiving some attention to the engine and gearbox from those knowledgeable specialists at Autofarm.Additional mechanical work was recently carried out by Chris Turner Porsche of Willesden, including a full re-build of the injection system and the fitting of new heat exchangers, a new rear silencer, new rear oil cooler and a new fuel tank. The brake system was also fully refurbished and a new clutch and release bearing have been fitted.The car's engine retains its distinctive 5-blade cooling fan (as opposed to the newer 11-blade version, which can be a non-original modification).On top of all the mechanical work, the car has received a full bare-metal respray with both kidney bowls being replaced and is presented with fully refurbished alloy wheels and all new tyres and wheel bolts.The large history file contains many receipts for servicing and mechanical work done over the years, plus all MoTs since 1977 which helps to verify the mileage.The car starts and drives very well, showing good pressures and temperatures with no evidence of oil leaks.Arguably, a Carrera 3.0 without the ‘Sports' package (no spoiler and decals etc.) displays a purer 911 silhouette, and this more subtle and understated, late seventies Porsche in gleaming bronze, is a fantastic example of this limited-run model and surely one of the best available.

2003 Porsche 911 (996) GT2 Comfort

Lot # 247 (Sale Order: 47 of 58)      

Please Note : This car will be delivered with steel disc brakes. The ceramic brakes are being refurbished and will be sent to the purchaser once the refurbishment is complete. The Porsche 911 GT2, manufactured between 1993-2012, was the pinnacle of the Porsche performance range and the most expensive model in the 911 range.It was based on the 911 Turbo of the day but featured an upgraded turbo, larger brakes and competition derived suspension.

1989 Porsche 911 (930) Turbo SE 'Flatnose'

Lot # 248 (Sale Order: 48 of 58)      

Anyone who followed the "World Championship of Makes" (essentially an international championship for long distance Sports Car racing), will remember their surprise at the shape of the new 935 when it first appeared at Mugello in March 1976. Subsequently these "Flatnose" 935s and 936s (in Group 6) were to prove very competitive in the hands of Ickx, Mass and Stommelen and during the next two seasons managed four victories in eight World Championship races and a triumph at Le Mans in each year. However, Porsche began to worry that all these victories by the works Flatnose cars might alienate the vast number of private clients who were investing their own money in conventionally shaped competition 911s, and decided to restrict their efforts for 1978 to an entry at Le Mans. The distinctive look of the "Flachbau" (literally translated as Low Build) obviously retained its appeal in the minds of their road car customers and from 1981 until early 1989 Porsche 930 buyers could specify their car in this style to special order.The 911 here is a genuine Factory produced Porsche 930SE, built in April 1989 under the ‘Sonderwunchprogramm' (Special Wishes Programme) and supplied to Roger Clark Porsche in Narborough, Leicestershire in May 1989. The Flachbau cars were essentially normal 930s with the 935-style sloping front end. The body colour is Baltic Blue Metallic and the interior is in Marine Blue leather with Blue and White pinstriped inserts. The Porsche Club of Great Britain has suggested that its late build date in 1989 indicates that it is the last of only 50 RHD UK (C16) specification cars produced.These cars were equipped with an uprated engine of 330bhp (from 300) mated to the G50, 5-speed gearbox, Dual Exit exhaust and an upgraded interior featuring pockets under both sides of the dashboard, a unique centre console, steering wheel and gear lever knob. It also benefits from a limited slip differential, heated front seats and a sunroof.This particular car was modified even further by a previous owner who entrusted the car to the legendary Ruf Automobile GmbH. in Pfaffenhausen who managed to find an additional one hundred and twenty horses hiding in there, resulting in an output of an attention focusing, 450bhp. Sadly, Ruf were affected by some damaging floods at a later date destroying a lot of their paper records, so it cannot be confirmed when the conversion was carried out, however after a couple of minutes behind the wheel of this stunning Porsche, the date of conversion may seem a touch academic.In its current ownership since 2006, this car has covered a believed genuine 32,500 miles, has been maintained regardless of mileage and usage, has been fitted with a new turbocharger, injectors, and brakes etc, and has been serviced annually.There is a full handbook/service book package with over 20 service stamps, two sets of keys and a Category 1 alarm system.Personally, I can't look at the iconic shape of this eighties Porsche without an image coming to mind of Jacky Ickx in the Martini Racing 936, howling down the Mulsanne Straight in the early dawn of a Sunday morning in June 1976, and I am obviously not alone, as these cars are becoming very rare and sought after.We believe that this is the last of 50 RHD, Flatnose 930s manufactured and worth serious consideration.

1979 Porsche 911 SC Coupe

Lot # 249 (Sale Order: 49 of 58)      

The 1978 Porsche 911SC defiantly disproved those who'd written off the air-cooled rear-engine concept.With the SC, the Porsche 911 could finally claim tractability as a virtue. In fact, Road & Track likened it to "a big V-8 powered Detroit car. There's lots of torque, so constant downshifting isn't necessary even in slow traffic. No Porsche owner is going to let the revs fall to 1000 rpm in 5th gear and then attempt to accelerate. But to prove a point, we did this with the SC and the engine accepted the treatment with never a judder of protest...just roll your foot off the clutch pedal and glide away."In all, the SC was widely judged the most forgiving 911 yet, though the "wide tyres, have some demerits in wet weather", warned Autocar. " It suffered occasionally from front end aquaplaning under braking on water covered roads, and understeer is also far more noticeable on wet surfaces. In these...conditions the tail can sometimes be provoked out of line with the throttle, and understeer can also be killed by the traditional remedy of easing back on the throttle, being prepared to catch the resulting slide. Such intricacies of handling make the Porsche very much a driver's car; experience with it constantly teaches new skills."The current vendor of this particular car, has cherished it for the last 10 years and has always been willing to spend money on it whenever necessary,with new heat exchangers and shock absorbers being the most recent items. However more importantly, the engine was fully rebuilt by Walter Jansens at Evolutione Motors the Porsche specialists in Belgium when showing 113,000 miles.The car had a full respray 8 years ago and  had the B pillars done at the same time to enhance its appearance.It has a comprehensive history, backing up the current mileage of 129,000 dating well back into the eighties for peace of mind. The car is finished in a lovely Light Blue Metallic with matching blue Pascha interior.

1986 Porsche 911 3.2 modified to 2.7 RS Specification

Lot # 250 (Sale Order: 50 of 58)      

The 1970s represented a truly 'rich vein' of motorsport success for Porsche, and regulation changes to 'level the playing field' only tested their resolve and ingenuity. The Porsche 917 was rendered obsolete by late 1972, with rule changes to the World Sportscar Championship now geared for "Prototypes". Without sufficient time to respond and complete a build programme, Porsche switched their attention to the European GT Championship, developing still further the successful 2.7 RS. If ever there was justice, it prevailed in early 1973 when a Porsche 2.8 RSR, virtually 'out of the box', won the 24hrs of Daytona in a field littered with Prototypes. Unsurprisingly, it totally dominated European GTs, which considering its 911 underpinnings is a remarkable achievement. The 911 RSR derivatives would remain a 'nemesis' to manufacturers for a decade. Porsche entries won all of the 'Blue Riband' events - Le Mans, Daytona, Sebring, etc. with regularity. The defining 911 of its era, the Carrera 2.7 RS was created to comply with homologation requirements for group 4 racing and all 500 examples of the initial production run were sold within a week of the car's international debut at the 1972 Paris Show. As a design, it was an object lesson in economy of purpose and, with its appropriately fat tyres and duck-tail spoiler it made later models look fussy and clumsy. It was the first 911 to bear the RS moniker and, for many, it continues to epitomise the essence of the 911.This 1986 911 3.2 litre Carrera was partly modified to 2.7 Carrera RS specification by its former owner, racing driver Johnny Spero, who raced many Porsches in his career. Subsequent RS touches were added under current ownership including removing the rear seats and replacing with custom carpets, and fitting an RS driver's side mirror. The car also boasts a custom made roll-cage by Nur Motorsport, Cobra seats with custom red stitching, road legal OMP harnesses, a Superlegerra steering wheel and an Autofarm bonnet. One of the industry's leading specialists, Pro 9 Porsche is currently replacing the ‘duck tail' spoiler and front and rear bumpers with period correct RS parts, identical to the ones in the photographs. The period correct registration number FRB 353L beautifully compliments the RS 'look' and the wealth of servicing and receipts show how well maintained this car has been. Official Porsche main dealer Dick Lovett of Bristol has maintained the car for the past two years, with recent service bills, including a new fuel tank, of over £1,800. The mileage of just under 145,000 is the only indication that this car hasn't just left the showroom. A conscientious vendor is an auctioneer's dream, and the car will be presented at auction in superb order with a Dick Lovett Porsche health report and an MoT until August 2016. There may be other 2.7 RS recreations out there, but this car is one of the best available, so good in fact, that the car featured prominently in the centenary issue of Total 911 Magazine.
