This delightful left-hand drive 1973 Porsche 2.4S lived for many years in Greece before arriving in the UK in 2013. Prior to its arrival, a restoration had been completed to the very highest of standards including a complete body strip to a bare shell. Looking through the accompanying photographs of the rebuild it is clearly evident that the level of fit and finish is a credit to the skill and professionalism of the artisans who completed the project, resulting in one of, if not the best, 2.4S available on the market today. All mechanical aspects of the vehicle were attended to including a thorough engine rebuild, again shown in the photographic record, together with all ancillary components receiving attention along the way. Upon arrival in the UK the new owner proceeded to attend to the interior which had remained original but was not reaching his exacting standards, with that in mind a retrim was recommissioned utilising a pair of recreated Sport R seats which are exactly correct for the year of the car, trimmed to the original specification and fitted by Tonbridge Porsche Centre, now looking resplendent, finally finishing the exacting restoration to a standard rarely achieved. A full carpet set had previously been installed by Autofarm.

The car comes complete with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, Book Pack, numerous invoices and the aforementioned photographic record of the restoration.

This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.
