Purchased by our client in 2016, this particular RS re-creation had been built some years previously and used extensively for road rallies etc, however, attention was required and so an in-depth rebuild commenced in March 2018. The vehicle was stripped to a bare shell then shot blasted to ensure that there would be no issues remaining once the build was complete. Utilising all new or fully refurbished panels and parts as required, the re-creation was completed to the very highest of standards and fully detailed throughout. Mechanically, the 3.0-litre engine, which had previously been 'breathed on' by well known Porsche mechanic Bob Watson of Bob Watson Engineering, received a full check over and was deemed fit for purpose, the gearbox, however, was found to be in need of attention and was completely rebuilt. Externally the Porsche was refinished in the desirable and instantly recognizable shade of Viper Green and fitted with the correct decals for that nod to originality, while internally a full retrim was commissioned. The project was completed in 2019 and has received little use since.

Accompanied by a detailed schedule of the rebuild (ú57,611), rebuild photographs, original handbooks, Malaya Garage Maintenance book, Malaya Garage invoices, and its RIAC Competition Log Book, this RS re-creation comes to market freshly serviced and with a recently issued MOT Certificate ( no advisories) that expires 07/7/2021

This fabulous 911 is based on an original 1973 right-hand drive 2.4E, a valuable car in its own right, and with 'original' 2.7 RS Porsches now effectively unobtainable, this superb and highly desirable recreation is offered at a fraction of the cost of the real deal but will provide as much, if not more, enjoyment for its next custodian.
