    Auction Description:

    *Beautifully restored example of the legendary '73 RS 2.7
    *Presented in its factory delivered appearance
    *Copiously documented history
    *Offered with Certificate of Authenticity

    Even with a considerably high production number for the legendary 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7, it has become increasingly hard to locate examples with good provenance. The beautiful example offered here, chassis no. 9113600595, must be considered among the best examples of this iconic model.

    Completed at Porsche's Zuffenhausen factory in February of 1973 to the Touring code 472 specifications, 0595 was completed much as it appears today. The outside is finished in Grand Prix white with neatly contrasted red painted wheels and Carrera script. The interior is upholstered in black and outfitted with sports seats in leatherette around corduroy inserts.

    The substantial box of records extensively details its early history. Delivered new to Switzerland, it was first registered to Roland Kistler on March 2, 1973. Mr. Kistler was an enthusiastic motorist who used the car as intended at local competitions for eight and a half years at which point it was sold to Arno Flach in July of '81 with 107,615km recorded. Well familiar with the machine prior to purchase, Flach had actually seen the car at the dealership prior to Kistler's collection of it. Keeping up its use as a local racer, Flach would occasionally compete in Porsche with a first-place finish coming his way at the 1982 Automobil-Slalom Altenrhein.

    After a decade and a half in Switzerland, Jim Albett acquired the car in April of 1987 and registered it in the United Kingdom. In the two years that followed his purchase, Albett would participate in nearly 70 events including the 750 MC Racing Championship the Pirelli Porsche Club GB Championship, the Gordon Russell Intermarque Championship, and the Pirelli Autofarm Modified Porsche Championship. Managed by Porsche hotshoe Neil Bainbridge during this time, Albett would co-drive with both Bainbridge and Canadian racer Jacques Robichon. The racing exploits of this period were all meticulously documented in numerous binders filled with details, results, programs, and news clippings.

    Albett de-registered the car in September of 1991 and was offered for sale by Dick Lovett Limited from which it was purchase by Simon White of Cheltenham near Gloucester. After nearly 20 years in competition, White would go about spending richly to do meticulous and extensive mechanical and interior restoration. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 and the transmission two years later. Receipts on file from marque specialists including Jaz Porsche, Mech Repairs, and Legends. In all of its refinished glory, the car would appear on the cover of Classic Cars magazine in May of 2006.

    After owning the car longer than any previous keeper, White sold his beloved Carrera RS to a local friend, Timothy Underwood, in November 2006. Retaining the car for just under a year, Underwood sold it to Anthony Lucas of Bristol in October of 2007. Shortly after purchase, Lucas sent the car to Autofarm in Weston-on-the-Green for a major mechanical service. With its Lucas would enter the Porsche in the Pomeroy Trophy in February of 2008, one month after the completion of the work by Autofarm. Following a season of spirited driving, it was back in for another overhaul including a rebuild of the engine, transmission, and limited slip differential. The work was entrusted to BS Motorsports in Westcott. Well suited to the task, the car was of great familiarity to BS Motorsports owner—Neil Bainbridge—who remembered the car from its racing days in the late 1980s. The mechanical work was completed in 2010 at which point the car was put on the dyno and found to lay down a head 216bhp at 6,450rpm and 192 lb-ft of torque at 5,260rpm. Retaining the car for touring purposes, Lucas would keep it for several more years before it made its way stateside and joined the collection of the current owner about three years ago.

    Today, 0595 presents very well, with remarkable fit and finish throughout. The car is naturally listed in the well-known book on the model, Carrera RS by Dr. Thomas Gruber and Dr. Georg Konradsheim. Offered with a massive history file and the Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity, it is the perfect car for the next Copperstate 1000, Going to the Sun Rally, or Ramshorn Rally. A very good example of the legendary, one-year-only Carrera RS 2.7, this Porsche will serve as a cornerstone, and a go-to driver's car, in nearly any collection.

    Dealer Description:

    - One of Seventeen - Right Hand Drive
    - The ex-Dessie McCartney / GIA 7200

    One of 17 UK Right Hand Drive (M471) Porsche Carrera 2.7 RS Lightweights - Manufactured by Porsche in Stuttgart, West Germany in March 1973 and finished in Light Yellow with factory option: (220) Limited-slip differential.

    Supplied new in 1973 by AFN, Isleworth to Anthony Bamford of J.C.Bamford Excavators Ltd and first registered in the UK as JCB 123. In 1974, AFN then supplied the car to its second owner– Dessie McCartney of Ireland, who re-registered it as GIA 7200. Purchased for the sole purpose of beating the mighty Ford Motor Company works two-litre BDA Escorts in their heyday, McCartney began to carve out a career in rally driving with GIA 7200.

    The 1975 Galway International Rally was Dessie’s only outright international win in a Porsche but his multiple, second-place finishes are legendary. If there was to be a ‘Mr Porsche’ in Irish rallying, that title would, without doubt, belong to Dessie McCartney, who’s rally career was the envy of many.

    GIA 7200 Rally History:

    1974
    Donegal Rally - 3rd
    Texaco Rally
    Manx Rally - 2nd

    1975
    Galway Rally – 1st
    Circuit of Ireland - 2nd
    Donegal Rally - 2nd
    Lombard RAC – 13th

    By the end of 1975 the dominant Porsches were beginning to struggle and feel the Ford reaction and it was becoming a simple numbers game in terms of BHP. The trusty 2.7 Carrera RS with 210bhp was showing sign of a power struggle and so it was eventually sold and replaced by a 270bhp 3.0 Carrera RS.

    In 1976 GIA 7200 was sold to Richard Jackson and re-registered in the UK as SPY 44. Richard competed in national rally events and entered the 1976 and 1977 Mintex Rally.

    In 1979, the car was sold to Alan Baker, who kept it for ten years, and then sold in 1989 to Richard Allen. In 1993, Richard Jackson was then able to re-purchase SPY 44 and this time he kept it for the next twenty years, until eventually selling it to William Loughran in 2013.

    William Loughran then commissioned Tech 9 Motorsport Ltd to restore the car, carrying out a meticulous two-year restoration. The restoration gave absolute regard to preservation, with hundreds of hours spent on dressing out rally dents and preserving the factory bodyshell and floor-pan. The car also retains its matching-numbers, type 911/83 engine, number: 6630943, which Tech 9 stripped and rebuilt. They also report that it retains date-matching cylinder heads and cam housings, intake system and fuel injection pump, etc., items which very often become replaced in a competition car. All this work is well documented with extensive photographs and invoices in the vehicle history file.

    We are delighted to offer for sale this rare and very historic Carrera 2.7 RS. One of the seventeen RHD M471 Lightweight models, which were originally supplied by Porsche.
