1972 Porsche 911 T

The Porsche 911 has featured consistently in the top ten cars of our generation. With a motorsport pedigree unsurpassed by any other car with true production underpinnings, it's not surprising the 911 has endeared itself to the world. Coming of age at the beginning of the seventies, with wins at the Daytona 24hrs and the Targa Florio, they have never stopped winning since and cinema goers worldwide became familiar with the distinctive shape as the car of choice for a number of top stars.

For 1972, the 911 had two major revisions, the most significant being an increase in capacity to 2341cc (known as the 2.4) but remained on carburettors, and externally an aggressive new front spoiler was incorporated below the bumper.

This original RHD UK delivered, Porsche 911 T finished in Light Yellow, was built in December 1972 and first registered January 1973. It was optioned from new with the Factory "S' Upgrade which included the more sporting features of the 'S' model such as the sports bucket seats and the famous Fuchs Alloys (as opposed to the factory steel wheels) along with other more subtle features such as chrome finishing trim around the wheel arches and a more detailed oil gauge.

Showing only 3 previous owners on the V5c, it's been in long term ownership having been cared for by the current owner since 1984. Used on high days and holidays, the car has always been well maintained and looked after, and there are MoTs dating back to 1982 and invoices dating back to the early 1990s which detail expenditure and past minor restorative work undertaken on the car.

This early 911 is accompanied by a good history file that includes the service book, past invoices and MoT certificates. It was recently MoT'd and whilst in good useable condition, it would ideally benefit from some tender loving care from its new owner to bring it back to its former glory, as it is now starting to look a little tired in places.

A lovely, rare right-hand drive example originally dispatched to the UK with long-term ownership to boot, this car is a fantastic proposition for an astute buyer.
