    Auction Description:

    - Original, UK right-hand drive car, first registered on June 18, 1973, in Glasgow
    - In current ownership since November 1997 (21 years)
    - Engine and gearbox rebuilt in 1997 with the odometer showing 94,000 miles
    - Only 12,000 miles since to date in dry weather. Currently 106,000
    - Matching engine and chassis numbers. Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
    - MoT'd until the 15th September 2019 - passed with no advisories
    - Every MoT back to 1990, Two sets of keys Thatcham alarm, new spare tyre, jack/tool roll

    This 911T is a genuine, right-hand drive, UK car which was first registered in Glasgow on June the 18th, 1973. Porsches were rare in Glasgow in the early seventies and finished in bright Oxford Blue with a Beige leatherette and corduroy interior, this distinctive car must have turned a few heads in Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday morning.

    It was enjoyed by a number of owners over the following years until November 1997 when EUF 695L came into the possession of our vendor. At this point, the car was White and Red and had been rebuilt as an accurate evocation of the legendary 2.7RS, also hailing from 1973. Although he has carried out a considerable amount of work on the car, the bodywork today is essentially the same as 1997 and looking at the photographs it appears to be a subtle homage to the RS without going to the excesses that occasionally creep into RS recreations. The car's history prior to our vendor's purchase is a little sketchy but, as far as he can tell, the owner before him in 1996 carried out the conversion fitting the revised bodywork, Fuchs Alloys, triple-choke Weber carbs, and a Momo steering wheel.

    Shortly after his purchase in 1997, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt, and the car was fitted with new front wings, Corbeau seats, four-point harnesses, and later a stainless steel exhaust system by Techspeed Racing of Leamington Spa. There are photos in the files showing all this work. Since the 1997 engine rebuild, just 12,000 miles have been covered, and the car continues to enjoy regular use in dry weather and is always garaged. He informs us that the “Car is MoT'd every year, and any matters addressed to ensure continuous use. The car has never broken down in my ownership.”

    As we said, the 911's history, prior to our vendor's purchase is a bit limited but there are MoTs going back to 1990 and an interesting DVLA 'Vehicle Record' showing a complete history of ownership since its first registration. In addition to the old MoTs and Tax discs, there is a Porsche C of A, and invoices for parts and maintenance from Tuthill Porsche, Two plus Two, and local specialists Track Day Toyz Ltd. All four tyres are in good condition, it's fitted with a Thatcham Alarm, and the vehicle is accompanied by an unused spare wheel, jack and tool roll, two sets of keys, and a 911 T/E/S owner's handbook.

    The car is not perfect and would benefit from some minor bodywork attention, a little TLC, and fine detailing, but it has never been fully restored and quite frankly looks lovely. 1973 was the last year of lightweight cars before the advent of impact bumpers and, for many purists, the 2.4 is the last 'old-school' 911 and therefore all the more collectable particularly when they look like this.

    I'd love to own a right-hand Porsche 911 car from the the early years.

    The race tracks in the USA are mostly clockwise, and a right hand car allows the driver to see the apex quickly. It's a major advantage.

    I raced a 1959 Austin Healey 'Bug Eye' Sprite 25 years ago with great success:

    Here is my backdated 911 SC in Gulf Blue with Turbo motor making 420 hp for sale on BaT. The auction closes just after noon on Tuesday October 2, 2018.

    https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19..._placed_seller

    1981 Porsche 911 Backdated Turbo Hot Rod

    VIN #WP0AA0913BS120587

    This is a 1981 Porsche 911 SC that has been backdated with factory steel body panels to look like a 1973 911 RS. I have owned the car since 2013 and have performed a full mechanical and cosmetic upgrade and refresh in that time. A rust and accident free ’81 SC coupe with fully galvanized chassis in black with 105,000 miles was the basis of this conversion which was begun by the previous owner around 2012. A thorough glass out color change to Gulf Blue was performed and the front end backdate was done at that time using fiberglass parts for the conversion. Within a week of my taking delivery of the car in 2013 I was in an accident that damaged the fiberglass pieces on the front end (photos of accident damage included). There was no chassis or suspension damage at all. I had the car repaired by Eurotech Bodywerkes in Kirkland, Washington using all factory steel parts, including the correct early latch panel, factory hood, and factory early S front bumper. The rear bumper and duck tail are now the only fiberglass body panels on the car. The drivetrain has been upgraded with a 1978 930 3.3 liter turbo motor running through an early short bell housing 930 transmission (4 speed) with limited slip differential. The motor has less than 3,000 miles since a rebuild by European Autowerke in Fall City, Washington and makes a dyno proven 359 wheel hp (420 crank HP assuming 15% driveline loss) and 324 lb/ft of torque (380 crank lb/ft). Suspension and brakes have been significantly upgraded to match. The car weighs 2,360 lbs, which makes for a power to weight ratio of 5.61 Lbs per HP (better than a Hellcat and just shy of a new Z06 Corvette).
    • Rust free chassis with approximately 115,000 current miles
    • Professionally backdated by Eurotech Bodywerkes in Kirkland, Washington at a cost of over $17,000 using factory steel hood, latch panel, fenders, and early S bumper and painted Gulf Blue
    • This 1978 3.3 turbo motor (type 930/61, serial number 6880280) was rebuilt in 2016 by Bernd Buschen of European Autowerke in Fall City, Washington, and has new JE pistons making 8.0:1 compression, Web 964 profile cams, K27-7200 turbo, GHL headers with heat, Rarelyl8 Hooligan muffler, Turbokraft custom large core intercooler to fit under a ducktail, 964 recirculation valve, Leask WUR, Leask RPM switch, Euro fuel head, MSD fully programmable ignition system with custom advance curve and boost retard, Tial Wastegate with a 0.2 bar spring, and a Turbosmart Eboost electronic boost controller allowing switching between 336 hp (0.2 bar), 380 hp (0.5 bar), and 420 hp (0.7 bar) at the touch of a button. During the recent rebuild the heads were completely rebuilt with new valves and guides and were twin glugged, but the motor is still running single plug ignition. With a change to a larger turbo, electronic fuel injection, and using twin plugs, this motor could easily make over 500 hp without any additional modifications.

    This motor is very streetable and reliable. Unlike stock 930 motors that make no power off boost and then hit hard when boost comes on, the higher compression, 964 cams, revised advance curve, less restrictive intercooler, free flowing exhaust, and faster spooling turbo combine to give this motor very good off boost performance that transitions to power on boost in a quick and predictable manner. Additionally the 964 style recirculation valve is much more efficient that the stock 930 manifold in maintaining boost in on/off throttle situations. This all adds up to a powerful and responsive motor that is a joy to drive whether on boost or not.

    In low boost (0.2 bar) tune it makes 286 whp (336 crank hp) and 250 wlb/ft (294 crank lb/ft). In thus tune peak torque is at 5,500 rpm and it feels like a large and powerful naturally aspirated motor. This makes for a very approachable and predictable power curve that is great for the uninitialed or limited traction situations (rain). Still, at this boost level the motor is making over 50 hp more than a stock 3.6 varioram motor from a 993.

    At high boost (0.7 bar) the motor makes 359 whp (420 crank hp) and 324 wlb/ft (381 crank lb/ft). Notice on the dyno sheet that at this setting you are at almost peak torque at 3,600 rpm and hp climbs and holds all the way to the 7,000 rpm redline. This is a lot of power in such a light car, but it can put it down effectively with the torque biasing differential and 245 tires. If you put your foot down, you better be sure you have room in front of you and know where you are going, because you’ll get there sooner than you think.

    • The transmission is a 1976 short bellhousing 930 transmission with Quaif torque biasing limited slip diff and Rennshift housing with tall shift lever, new shift bushings, and 917 style wood shift knob. The transmission was rebuilt by Mike Garriga of Stoddard in 2011 and opened and examined again in 2016 by European Autowerke with no issues found.
    • Engine oil is cooled by the stock motor mounted cooler and a Carrera style cooler in the front passenger fender with a high flow (700 CFM) electric fan. These coolers keep the temperatures in a reasonable range for street use (180-190 degrees in high ambient temp transitions from freeway to stop and go traffic), but if someone wanted to track the car regularly the car would possibly need a second front cooler depending on ambient temps and skill of the driver.
    • The car runs duel Bosch 044 fuel pumps, one at the fuel tank in front and one before the motor, mounted just behind the driver side back seat.
    • Front brakes are 993 brake calipers over early style two-piece 930 turbo rotors with aluminum center hats from Rebel Racing and rear brakes are aftermarket Brembos that are the same dimensions/specs as 993 rear calipers over 930 rear rotors. The master cylinder is a new, boosted 23mm unit. New stainless steel flex lines were installed at all four corners. These brakes are very strong, especially for such a light car, and more than capable of handling all the power this car puts out and then some.
    • Suspension consists of Elephant racing Poly-bronze bushings, Elephant Racing sport hardness rubber trailing arm bushings, 21/27 torsion bars, Bilstein HD inserts in Boge struts on the front and Bilstein Sports on the rear, turbo tie rods, new ball joints, and factory 20mm sway bars front and rear. The car is tight and handles beautifully without being harsh or uncomfortable on the street.
    • The car runs on 16x8 Fuch wheels from a 944 turbo in front and 16x9 inch Fuch wheels in back with 205/55/16 and 245/45/16 RE11 Tires with over 95% tread left on them.
    • A 935 style boost gauge is in place of clock
    • The oil temp gauge was upgraded with a new old style gauge that is numerically graduated and calibrated unit.
    • Seats are GTS Classics ST style fiberglass backed units with houndstooth inserts
    • RS style carpet kit with deleted rear seats
    • RS style door panels with reproduction metal pulls instead of plastic.
    • Radio delete plate with IROC style shift sticker (can easily be removed)
    • Brand new Dansk reproduction 100 liter (26.4 gallon) rally fuel tank with correct long fuel level sender.
    • LED projector headlights provide hugely upgraded visibility at night. No modifications required to fit these and thus easily replaceable with H4’s or other stock lights if so desired.
    • New heater control valves
    • New sunroof seals
    • New rear window seal
    • Vacuum accumulator tank and fuel evaporation charcoal filter are hidden in the smugglers box.
    • Vinyl dash cover over the stock SC dash.
    • Freshly restored sun visors.
    • 964 RS hood prop rod.

    This 911T is a genuine, right-hand drive, UK car which was first registered in Glasgow on June the 18th, 1973. Porsches were rare in Glasgow in the early seventies and finished in bright Oxford Blue with a Beige leatherette and corduroy interior, this distinctive car must have turned a few heads in Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday morning.

    It was enjoyed by a number of owners over the following years until November 1997 when EUF 695L came into the possession of our vendor. At this point, the car was White and Red and had been rebuilt as an accurate evocation of the legendary 2.7RS, also hailing from 1973. Although he has carried out a considerable amount of work on the car, the bodywork today is essentially the same as 1997 and looking at the photographs it appears to be a subtle homage to the RS without going to the excesses that occasionally creep into RS recreations. The car's history prior to our vendor's purchase is a little sketchy but, as far as he can tell, the owner before him in 1996 carried out the conversion fitting the revised bodywork, Fuchs Alloys, triple-choke Weber carbs, and a Momo steering wheel.

    Shortly after his purchase in 1997, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt, and the car was fitted with new front wings, Corbeau seats, four-point harnesses, and later a stainless steel exhaust system by Techspeed Racing of Leamington Spa. There are photos in the files showing all this work. Since the 1997 engine rebuild, just 12,000 miles have been covered, and the car continues to enjoy regular use in dry weather and is always garaged. He informs us that the “Car is MoT'd every year, and any matters addressed to ensure continuous use. The car has never broken down in my ownership.”

    As we said, the 911's history, prior to our vendor's purchase is a bit limited but there are MoTs going back to 1990 and an interesting DVLA 'Vehicle Record' showing a complete history of ownership since its first registration. In addition to the old MoTs and Tax discs, there is a Porsche C of A, and invoices for parts and maintenance from Tuthill Porsche, Two plus Two, and local specialists Track Day Toyz Ltd. All four tyres are in good condition, it's fitted with a Thatcham Alarm, and the vehicle is accompanied by an unused spare wheel, jack and tool roll, two sets of keys, and a 911 T/E/S owner's handbook.

    The car is not perfect and would benefit from some minor bodywork attention, a little TLC, and fine detailing, but it has never been fully restored and quite frankly looks lovely. 1973 was the last year of lightweight cars before the advent of impact bumpers and, for many purists, the 2.4 is the last 'old-school' 911 and therefore all the more collectable particularly when they look like this.
    This venue is very close to me so I took the opportunity to inspect this car at the auction preview this afternoon. If anyone would like to know more about this particular example or any other of the cars being offered there tomorrow, do feel free to get in touch.
