1979 Porsche 911 SC Coupe

The 1978 Porsche 911SC defiantly disproved those who'd written off the air-cooled rear-engine concept.With the SC, the Porsche 911 could finally claim tractability as a virtue. In fact, Road & Track likened it to "a big V-8 powered Detroit car. There's lots of torque, so constant downshifting isn't necessary even in slow traffic. No Porsche owner is going to let the revs fall to 1000 rpm in 5th gear and then attempt to accelerate. But to prove a point, we did this with the SC and the engine accepted the treatment with never a judder of protest...just roll your foot off the clutch pedal and glide away."In all, the SC was widely judged the most forgiving 911 yet, though the "wide tyres, have some demerits in wet weather", warned Autocar. " It suffered occasionally from front end aquaplaning under braking on water covered roads, and understeer is also far more noticeable on wet surfaces. In these...conditions the tail can sometimes be provoked out of line with the throttle, and understeer can also be killed by the traditional remedy of easing back on the throttle, being prepared to catch the resulting slide. Such intricacies of handling make the Porsche very much a driver's car; experience with it constantly teaches new skills."The current vendor of this particular car, has cherished it for the last 10 years and has always been willing to spend money on it whenever necessary,with new heat exchangers and shock absorbers being the most recent items. However more importantly, the engine was fully rebuilt by Walter Jansens at Evolutione Motors the Porsche specialists in Belgium when showing 113,000 miles.The car had a full respray 8 years ago and had the B pillars done at the same time to enhance its appearance.It has a comprehensive history, backing up the current mileage of 129,000 dating well back into the eighties for peace of mind. The car is finished in a lovely Light Blue Metallic with matching blue Pascha interior.
