Description

The Porsche 911 needs little introduction, having established itself as one of the world's most enduring and recognisable sportscars. By 1982, the impact-bumper generation had matured into a thoroughly capable sporting GT, retaining the distinctive character of the air-cooled flat-six while benefiting from years of continuous development. Today, these early examples are increasingly appreciated for their classic proportions and engaging driving experience.

This particular example is finished in a striking Gulf-esque colour scheme, complemented by orange-centred Fuchs alloy wheels, 1970s-style S/RS bumpers and a beautifully judged interior featuring 2.7 RS-style bucket seats and a Momo steering wheel. The precise date of the colour change is unknown, although it is understood to have been carried out at least ten years ago. While a few blemishes are beginning to show, the Porsche remains a very presentable and particularly eye-catching car. Our vendor, who has owned numerous Porsches over the years, speaks highly of its driving manners, describing the engine as particularly sweet and the car as a lovely example to drive.

The accompanying history file contains a good collection of invoices and historic MoT test certificates. There are numerous maintenance invoices from the 1990s, including servicing carried out by Porsche in Perth. Particularly noteworthy is a substantial engine and gearbox rebuild undertaken by Jaz Porsche in November 2016, at a cost of £12,860. Following investigation of an engine knock, the engine was found to have suffered oil starvation and was completely stripped and rebuilt, including a reground crankshaft, refurbished cylinder heads with new valves and guides, and new genuine Mahle 3.2 litre barrels and pistons. Good used 964 camshafts were also fitted, while the gearbox was rebuilt with replacement synchros throughout. Importantly, the car has covered only approximately 3,000 miles since this extensive work was completed.

Further invoices from Jaz Porsche include £2,975 for suspension and chassis work in February 2014, including fitting of Bilstein shock absorbers, new tyres and four-wheel alignment, followed by £3,360 for genuine Mahle 3.2 litre barrels and pistons in November 2015, which were later used in the 2016 engine rebuild. In December 2025 £852 was spent on brake calipers, pads, hoses and associated items.

Owned by our vendor since 2017, this is an individual and characterful 911 with an appealing colour scheme, tasteful period-inspired details and, most importantly, a substantial documented engine rebuild with very limited mileage since. Consigned by Fraser Smith
