'. . . This Carrera RS was ordered in early November 1972 by Porsche Cars Great Britain Limited. Optioned to M471 “Lightweight” specification with a Limited Slip Differential in 018 Tangerine exterior color, with Black interior. Interestingly, this is the first “Lightweight” car to be manufactured in right-hand-drive, and 1 of only 18 Tangerine M471 models produced for the year. The RS was delivered by Porsche dealer, Dick Lovett Ltd, to a Mr. Gordon on February 10, 1973. From the off, chassis 0342 was used as Porsche intended, and raced competitively in multiple UK rally championships until its retirement in 1980, when it was sold to Jon Daker of Northhamptonshire.
In the mid 1980’s the 911 RS was purchased by Roger Bray, who would go on to commission a refinishing of the Tangerine paintwork in 1989. After approximately ten years of ownership, Bray would sell the RS to respected Porsche specialists, Autofarm, in Oxford, who would spend the next two years restoring chassis 0342 to its original as-delivered condition. Eventually sold by Autofarm, the Lightweight was soon exported to the U.S., where it later became part of the prestigious Blackhawk Museum Collection in Danville, California. Porsche experts, Jerry Woods Enterprises would perform an extensive service prior to the Blackhawk Museum selling the car to its most recent owner in 2005, who has added approximately 3,000 miles over the past sixteen years, including an appearance at the Carmel Concours on the Avenue during Monterey Car Week in 2013, where it won a 2nd place award.
Since arriving at Canepa, the RS has received a comprehensive mechanical inspection, and concours-level detailing of the body, engine, underside, and interior, leaving no surface untouched. Now ready for display on any show lawn, or participation in driving events, this exceptional and highly sought-after 911 RS “Lightweight” is ready to take centerstage in any Porsche collection . . .'
