Porsche 911S 2.7 (1974) – The Last True Road Bandit of Its Kind

Some cars were legends the moment they left the factory. Others had to earn their reputation the hard way. And then there’s the Porsche 911S 2.7 – a car that can only be compared to a perfectly poured beer at sunset on the Costa Brava: a timeless classic that always feels right.

1974 – the year ABBA took off, Nixon resigned, and Porsche gave the 911 a new soul with the 2.7 S. The oil crisis made most manufacturers cautious. Porsche? They just put in a bigger six-cylinder.

Engineering – More than just air-cooled
In the back? A 2.7-litre flat-six, air-cooled of course – because back then, water in a Porsche was only for the windshield washer. 175 hp, delivered through a five-speed 915 gearbox – sometimes a bit stubborn, but that’s exactly why it has so much character.

This example? A genuine matching-numbers 911S with documented history since day one. Bought new in Germany in 1974, exported directly to Barcelona, and registered there ever since. In the hands of its last owner for over 11 years, maintained with the care of a watchmaker.

Design – Sahara Beige like a Mojito at sunset
✅ Original colour “Sahara Beige” (code 516) – the ultimate 1970s shade, somewhere between safari adventure and designer coffee.
✅ Interior in deep black, all original from 1974 – no modern add-ons, no nonsense.
✅ 15” Fuchs wheels with nearly new Bridgestone tyres – the perfect match for every curve.
✅ Bonus: a second set of period ATS rims – for when you want to relive the ’70s twice.

Driving – Raw, analog, and absolutely glorious
This 911 isn’t for those who love touchscreens and lane-keeping assists. It wants to be driven. It demands commitment. And it gives everything back. Every throttle input is a statement. Every shift is a ritual. Every trip a reminder of how pure driving used to be.

✅ Engine rebuilt in 2004, refreshed again in 2015 – smooth, eager, no smoke, no leaks.
✅ Last 18,000 km under loving care, always warmed up, oil and filters every 3,000 km.
✅ Last service August 2025 at Almart in Vigo – Porsche and Ferrari specialists, not backyard mechanics.

Condition – Patina meets perfection
Never crashed, but proudly wears the subtle marks of a real life. Eight years ago, repainted in its original colour – not show-polished, but properly cared for. The interior? Original, aged gracefully, like a fine leather armchair in a British library.

Technically? Spot on. No faults. No deferred maintenance. No excuses. Just get in, start it, and drive – wherever the road takes you.

Conclusion – The Porsche for purists
Owning this 1974 911S 2.7 doesn’t mean having a new car or a showpiece. It means owning a true piece of automotive history – built for people who still feel what driving really means.

He’s ready for the next journey – whether that’s a rally, a collectors’ meet, or the perfect Sunday morning on an empty country road.

And honestly: if a Sahara Beige, original 911S from Barcelona doesn’t make you weak in the knees, what will?
