Auction Description:
*One of the most iconic sports cars of all time
*Delivered new in Germany
*One of only 60 in this colour scheme
*Recent full cosmetic restoration
*Immaculate condition
Delivered new in Germany in 1973, the car offered here, chassis number '0936', is a genuine Carrera RS Touring model retaining its original Type 911/83 engine. Interestingly, it has been fitted with the ultra-rare genuine Lightweight (M471) seats and door trim panels. The Carrera was delivered finished in the extremely rare colour combination of Grand Prix White with contrasting Viper Green 'Carrera' graphics and wheels. It is one of only 60 supplied new in this colour scheme, including that in the Porsche Museum. Its early history in Germany is not known.
In the early 1980s the car was imported into the USA by Miami dealer/broker David Mohlman and, in accordance with the then current requirements, went through a DoT and EPA conversion. Mr Mohlman then sold the Porsche to one Dolores Lazzarin of Coral Gables, Florida, who kept it for a couple of years. Its next owner, accountant John F Kelly of Fort Launderdale, Florida, purchased the Carrera from Ms Lazzarin and kept it for approximately the next 30 years before selling the car to a friend, Porsche restorer Phil Bagley, in May 2014 (see Mr Kelly's letter on file). During Mr Kelly's ownership the Porsche was maintained by Butch Stokes of Fort Lauderdale, who rebuilt the engine and gearbox around 1,000 miles ago. Mr Bagley handled the sale to the current owner.
Since its arrival in the UK, the car has been serviced by Pace Products of Haverhill, Suffolk, and also been treated to a full cosmetic restoration (bills on file). Smartly presented throughout, '0936' represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic sports cars in motoring history - a must for any serious collector.
