    Late LHD M472 — so not first or second series RS . Sold £430,000 site appear to have capped buyer fee of £6,000 so that may be on top (and assuming going to U.K. buyer). If so that is approx US$ 615,000 or roughly €505,000 using today’s online Forex as a guide. Possibly tad less if non U.K. buyer.

    Don’t know if the hundreds of photos currently available on the auction site will get wiped after sale.

    Interesting history. (Not mine; do know the seller — nice guy ).

    Dealer Description:

    Gallery Junction is pleased to offer our 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS. The example offered here was delivered new in Austria on 11/23/1972. It was finished in color code 117 light yellow, the same color it is finished in today. This is an extremely early car, one of the first 100 built, used in the first batch for homologation. All of the first 100 were originally built as lightweight models for the purpose of achieving the lightest possible weight for homologation, then adjusted to the new owners requirements. This particular car ultimately left the factory with a few touring trim options but was essentially still a lightweight. It had the fiberglass bumpers and aluminum ducktail to go along with the usual thinner body panels and lack of insulation and sound deadening. It even retained the single sunvisor instead of two and single battery instead of the usual two.

    Restored in Austria approximately 20 years ago, the interior was taken back to lightweight configuration. To extend the factories intent a bit further the car was fitted with aluminum doors and to enhance the driving pleasure and looks the car was fitted with 7” and 8” Fuchs 1 inch larger respectively. The car resided in Austria with its four respective owners, two Viennese Opera singers and two Porsche collectors, until 2002 when it was brought to California. The last owner had upgraded at the time of restoration, the engine to high compression 2.9 liters on a factory replacement case and installed a factory RSR front oil cooler to keep the temperatures under control.

    The car comes with copy of the Porsche COA and records of service and maintenance as well as copies of Austrian registration and title and pictures of restoration including a CD with the pictures. It has been tucked away in an impressive Southern California collection for the last 20 years and is ready for new ownership.

    Auction Description:

    - Dating from February 1973, this RS 2.7 (M472) Touring was delivered new in Hong Kong on 07/05/1973
    - Finished in Tangerine with Black Leatherette and Corduroy trim
    - Optioned from new with an LSD, Seat Belts, Fog Lamps, Electric Sunroof, Tinted Glass
    - With its first owner for 34 years in Hong Kong and subsequently Australia
    - Shipped to the UK by JD Classics in July 2013 and later purchased by our vendor
    - £13,500 invested at Clark and Carter prior to the car joining his collection
    - Our vendor, JD Classics and other marque specialists are of the opinion that the indicated mileage of 12,527 is correct but can't be warranted

    The 1973 RS was the Homologation-Series 911 Porsche had to build in order to qualify its pure racing 2.8-litre 911 RSR for Group 5 competition. The FIA mandated that at least 500 examples of the RS were required, so Porsche set to work. Two versions were offered; both based on the 1973 911S 2.4 coupe: the Lightweight/Sport option M471 was the racing-oriented basis for the RSR, while the Touring option, package M472, retained much of the interior trim and features of the standard car. Both differed visually from the 911S with rear quarter panels widened to accept seven-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, and a distinctive fibreglass front bumper with space to install an auxiliary oil radiator if desired. The rear bumper was steel on the Touring coupes and fibreglass on the Lightweights. The engine covers were also fibreglass, reinforced with balsa wood strips, and nearly all RSs sported the iconic "ducktail" spoiler that had been demonstrated in both wind-tunnel and track testing to greatly reduce rear-end lift and thus improve stability at higher speeds. A small number of Touring versions were delivered without the rear spoiler, but most of those were subsequently retrofitted by their owners. The Lightweight RS was fitted with thinner steel body panels, specially-made thinner window glass, and a stripped interior with racing bucket seats.

    The heart of the new RS was a new and much more powerful engine. The standard 190hp 2.4 of the 911S was given larger cylinders with 90mm pistons, taking the displacement to a tad under 2.7-litres. The cylinder bores were coated with a new anti-friction material called Nikasil, which had been developed in Porsche's racing department to allow aluminium pistons and cylinders to co-exist. With a compression ratio of 8.5:1 and Bosch mechanical fuel injection, the new engine developed a lusty 210 bhp at 6300 rpm along with 202 foot-pounds of torque at 5100 rpm. The RS retained Porsche's proven Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle and powerful four-wheel disc brakes. The fully-independent suspension featured McPherson struts, longitudinal torsion bars, and an anti-roll bar, while the independent rear suspension used trailing arms with transverse torsion bars, tubular shock absorbers, and an anti-roll bar. This impressive package provided the lucky owner with a car that offered brilliant acceleration (0-60 in 5.5 seconds) and a maximum velocity of 149 mph with excellent stability and road manners.

    By his own admission, this 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring, WEU 968L, is our vendor's favourite in his entire collection and he has sent us the following notes;

    "Within the history file is the originally supplied Owners Handbook, the 2.7 RS Supplement and more remarkably the originally supplied Service booklet. What is most exceptional is the originally supplied leather bound matching Cellular Phone Network booklet. Also, within the history files is a detailed account of the known history of the car. By way of an overview, it was originally delivered to Hong Kong, hence it being a UK C-16 Specification and right-hand drive. It was owned by the first owner, a certain Mr James Wong, for 34 years including taking it with him to Australia when he retired in 2008. The file suggest there were two further owners in Australia, one of which, it appears, was a specialist car dealer who did certain works on the car. Later, in 2013, it would end up in the hands of the 'Classic Throttle Shop' in Sydney. Seemingly, at the time, Mr Derek Hood of JD Classics in Maldon, Essex had an interest in or a relationship with the 'Classic Throttle Shop' and the car was shipped to the UK by JD Classics later in 2013. Before being delivered to our vendor, the car was handed over to Steve and Jamie Clark, the Porsche restorers at Clark & Carter in Cressing, Essex. Steve and Jamie examined, test drove, reported, serviced and arranged whatever was required to ensure it was presented to me, as its new owner, in a first class, exceptional and useable condition. Their invoice totalled £13,513.02.

    I acquired the Porsche 2.7 RS Touring, WEU 968L, at a figure well above the then market value on the basis that the mileage indicated of just 12,527 was the total that the car had travelled. Indeed, within the attached letter from JD Classics they say they too had acquired it confident of its exceptionally low mileage. And, the history file suggests it is, indeed, correct. But is it? To me, it does not matter, I have chosen to believe it and approaching 50 years old, the car is a delight to me. The Tangerine is mesmerising, and the condition of the vehicle is exceptional. I always enjoy lifting the bonnet to enjoy the factory originality of the paintwork within the luggage compartment - and within the engine bay."

    The paperwork in the car's history file indicates that the mileage in October 2005 was 9,306. The file further shows that when the car was sold to Duncan McKellar (purchased from Mr Wong) in 2008 it was 11,331 and this rose to 12,090 on 30/07/2009. On 30/11/2011 it was listed as 12,336 and in July 2013 we understand the indicated mileage was 12,422. These are documented but what cannot be confirmed is the car's early mileage history.

    This truly wonderful RST is rare, ultra-desirable and investment grade quality. It will, undoubtedly, appeal to every Porsche loving and discriminating collector. It will be available to view prior to auction on our designated viewing days but to accommodate any interested parties beforehand an earlier viewing is possible.

    Amazed that the auction house and vendor are quoting the JD Classics name seemingly as a way of adding credibility to the cars history. JD Classics went bust a few years ago with Mr Hood and his wife pursued by the liquidators for fraudulent activity.

    https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publ...egation/164801

    Hopefully the car is absolutely 100% but anyone buying that car should know that having been through the hands of that dealer would raise questions at least in the UK.

    Seriously ? A Touring version, second series with an estimation around 1 million dollars...? About the double of the last sales.

    More expensive than the light version at Gallery Junction !

    And because of the «JD Classics episode», the mileage looks very very suspicious.

    I wouldn't consider the car at Gallery Junction as a good benchmark. Car is in rough condition, not a true lightweight, strange modifications, missing many pieces, restamped engine, misrepresented history, etc. Unclear VIN but could be 9113600100

    Will be looking at car soon and see if I can get more information.

    I am fairly certain the mileage is correct. When it was owned in Sydney for a long time the owner, Joseph Wong, started it every two to three weeks and drove it around (a very short) block and put it away again. I understand that he rarely took it on a proper run. So I would estimate for that 20 plus year period that I am aware of, up until it was sold in 2007 or so (when it had a mileage of 11,062), I doubt if it did more than a couple of hundred miles a year.
