1972 Porsche 911T 2.4 Coupé

The Porsche 911 has featured consistently in the top ten cars of our generation. With a motor sport 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 world wide became familiar with the distinctive shape as the car of choice for a number of top stars.

For 1972 the 911( E series) had two major revisions, the most significant being an increase in capacity to 2341cc (known as the 2.4L) but remained on carburettors, and externally an aggressive new front spoiler was incorporated below the bumper. For just one year of production in1972, the engine oil filler was mounted on the right hand side rear wing.

Offered here is a beautifully restored, matching numbers Porsche 911T finished in its original colour of Light Yellow (6262) that was originally supplied in 1972 by Porsche AG to Hamburg in Germany. Optional equipment specified at the time included, 6x15 Fuchs wheels, front and rear roll bars, Porsche black script on the sides, a leather steering wheel and tinted windows. It came to the UK in 1982 and has had six previous keepers. In 2012 it was fully restored, and the history file contains the most comprehensive sequence of photos that we have ever seen of any restoration process. Fully dismantled, the body shell was prepared to a very high level, and as the restoration took place, every component was either replaced or refurbished and photographed prior to fitting up. Without doubt, it"s a must to visit the documents desk to have a "marvel". It also contains a detailed account of the expenditure with QV500.com, with the total an eye watering £91,920. This lovely, evocative little Porsche is ready for the road and comes with an M0T till January 2016.

With the 911S now realising extraordinary sums, the 911T has started to look exceptional value, especially in this wonderful condition. They are also great to drive, with a torquey power delivery, all the tactility of an early Porsche and this one is finished in the best period colour. Irresistible.
