1973 Porsche 911 T

In 1964 the Porsche 911 first entered production. The timeless design was a result of the work of Ferdinand 'Butzi' Porsche and the company's joint founder and chief body engineer Erwin Komenda. The 911 soon became a car renowned for driveability featuring rack and pinion steering, torsion bar suspension and disc brakes front and rear. The 911 was powered by a dry-sump, air-cooled, 2-litre, flat-six engine mounted at the rear and was fitted to a five-speed manual transmission.

Over the years the mechanics of the 911 slowly began to change and the 1972-1973 model years saw a new larger 2341 cc engine. With the power and torque increases the 2.4 L cars also got a newer, stronger transmission, identified by its Porsche type number '915', it was derived from the transmission from the Porsche 908 race car. The 915 did away with the 901 transmission's "dog-leg" style first gear arrangement, opting for a traditional H pattern.

This particular 2.4 911T is a matching numbers left hand drive example built on 1/3/1973 and dispatched to Munich, Germany. The car was delivered in the striking and very period colour of Tangerine, which it retains today.

Acquired by our vendor in 2011 the car was previously subject to a comprehensive restoration in the early 2000's by a former owner. As such the restoration of the car has mellowed perfectly and is now presented in good all round condition having seen little use since.

Presented with the car is a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity along with a small collection of invoices from the early 2000's to the present day.

This is a great value 70's 911 that has had a large amount of restoration work carried out on it leaving it to be a very useable car for many years to come.
