In 1968 Porsche introduced the 911 T/R in a very limited production run made available to customers looking to race or rally their 911s. Taking advantage of the low weight of the basic “T” model, 52Kg less than the “S”, Porsche homologated it with the race and rally parts from the previous year’s experimental 911 R. The T/R could be specified with almost any combination of parts to reflect the use and budget of the customer. Just 35 examples were built and only 3 of them right hand drive.
Chassis 11820884, a right drive T/R, was ordered by Paddy McNally and Charlie Lucas via AFN in November 1967 with the 911S Rallye-kit engine, rollcage, limited slip diff, rollbar and 100 litre fuel tank. As soon as they received the car in July ’68 Chris Maltin stripped and rebuilt the engine to 906 spec.
Immediately competitive McNally and Digby Martland were joint Champions in the 1968-69 Springbok series.
Sold on to Paul Vestey and then Sir Anthony Bamford 11820884 was raced by: Paul Vestey, Peter Sadler, Alain De Cadenet, Chris Craft, David Weir, Mike Ogier, John Chatham, Mike Coombe and Willy Tucket in the Classic long distance races of the period: The Targa Florio, Nurburgring 1000Kms, Le Mans 24 Hrs, Monza 1000Kms, Vila Real 6 hrs, Barcelona 12 Hrs, Mugello 500Kms, Montlhery 1000 Kms with excellent results.
A comprehensive restoration of T/R 11820884 has just been completed by Andy Prill at Maxted-Page and Prill and it is in superb ready to go condition with HTP papers. This represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a genuine and extremely rare competition 911 with great history and provenance and it is eligible for a wide variety of the best events including the Le Mans Classic, Tour Auto, Monterey Historics etc.

That's a great looking car and Maxted-Page and Prill do wonderful work, but I'm stuck on the rear flares. They're RS flares from where I sit and, to me, they look ... well ... wrong.

Having said that, I know that Andy Prill enjoys incorporating numerous elements of a car's history into his restorations - i.e. if the car raced with RS flares then he would have left them in an homage to the car's history - so maybe this was done on purpose...

Thanks for sharing.

Call me crazy, but like the #29 configeration with the 9" Minilites .......

This seems a beautiful and historically significant car.......

I think I would have done it as it raced here. Looks like a good restoration but why make it look like an RS?

I Co-Drove this car in the 1990 West Cork Rally (Ireland) with the then owner Brian Powley. Brian had it restored some years earlier by Josh Sadler at Autofarm. I will post up some photos of the car as it was then ( RS Arches). Brian rallied and raced the car extensively in Ireland in the 1990's, both him and 2BRX as it was then were infamous in post pubs in Southern Ireland.

I believe the current asking price is over $400,000 .

Here s the car on the West Cork Rally 1989 driven by Brian Powley who campaigned the car with wide arches and reg number 2 BRX. Brian rallied/raced the car more times like this than the sum of all the other owners.




Notice typical St. Patrick's Day Irish Wet Weather, a true test of man and machine.

It would look good in that livery...It is just a little bland for a storied race car..JMHO
