1972 Porsche 911 2.4 S

Engine and gearbox rebuilt and interior re-trim by Southbound

Off the road from 1985 until the recent work was carried out

This is a 2.4 S to drive and enjoy or to restore further

The Porsche 911S represented the pinnacle of Porsche's sportscar programme in the early 1970s, bettered only in performance terms by the 2.7RS. It was the last year of lightweight cars before the advent of impact bumpers. The 1973 'S' was fitted with the final development of the free-revving 2.4 litre, type 911/53 engine producing 190bhp. The transmission also benefitted from the new 915 gearbox, which was stronger and offered an improved gear change. The 'aero' package was improved by fitting a front valance spoiler which reduced front-end lift. Coupled with Porsche's total domination of the World Sportscar Championship and Steve McQueen's endorsement in the film, 'Le Mans', they could do no wrong with the now iconic 1973 911S and its derivatives.

This, right-hand drive, 2.4 S was registered to its first UK owner on the 17th March 1972 and is currently finished in the classic RS colour of Acid Blue with a black leather interior. Over the past four years, this 911 has been carefully restored by Dave Broughton having been bought as a project since the car had been off the road since 1985. Our vendor informs us that the engine and gearbox have been rebuilt and the interior was retrimmed by Southbound.

There are no accompanying books or much history but this is a rare car thats being offered at a very competitive guide price considering its a right-hand drive example and is supplied with a current MoT. An honest and usable example that is ready to be enjoyed or fettled a little further.
