Even with a considerably high production number for the legendary 1973 model-year 911 Carrera RS 2.7, it has become increasingly hard to locate "best-of-the-best" examples. And when you take into consideration that just about 100 or so examples were equipped from the factory with right hand drive steering; it gets even harder! The exceptional Carrera offered here, chassis no. 9113600918, must be considered among the very best examples of the iconic model, not just due to its rare specification and superbly preserved original condition, but also due to the fact that it is offered for sale today by its original owner, who purchased the car brand new in December of 1972.

The story of 0918 really begins earlier in 1972, when the consigner - a renowned collector of spectacular sports cars and true 'car guy' - was considering his next new car to enjoy in his hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa. Several upper end sports cars on the '72 market was considered, including a 246 Dino, Porsche 911S and BMW 3.0 CSI. But before pulling the trigger, he read an article about the introduction of the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, and soon rushed to the local Johannesburg Porsche dealer to place and order. But here he was told that just 100 right hand drive examples would be built, and none were destined for the South African market. However, he convinced the dealer one should go to South Africa and was able to place and order for 9113600918.

Completed at Porsche's Zuffenhausen factory during March of 1973, 0918 was the 918th example in the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 model range produced. Built to the Touring code 472 specifications, 0918 was completed just appears today, finished in color code 6262 'Hellgelb' or Signal Yellow, over a black leatherette and Pepita interior, fitted with both passenger and driver side sports seats with headrests, and a driver's side mirror. Perhaps the most exciting, and certainly very rare detail on 0918's production record, was the right-hand drive steering, South Africa region configuration and no "Carrera" script request, but also the factory electric sunroof and power window options if was fitted with. All these details are documented in the well-known Gruber/Konradsheim book on the model, Carrera RS. Once the new high-performance Porsche was completed, the consignor traveled to Zuffenhusen to see his new car be finalized and took a first test drive. He took delivery of the car in Johannesburg in October of 1973 and would put about 30,000 kilometers on it until 1977, when he migrated to the US. As the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 didn't conform to US specifications, he had to leave it behind, and would sell the car to a family friend.

In 2001, as the car was old enough to import into the US, the consignor got the bug to get his old Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 back and traced it through his brother-in-law who had kept in touch with the car and owner. At the time, the car remained in superb original condition, and had only traveled about 100,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) since new. The dry Johannesburg climate and interim custodians had been very good to the car, and it remained complete with factory delivered accessories such as tools, tire pump, books and manuals.

Today - offered from its original owner - 0918 presents in extraordinarily original condition. It is a car with integrity and no bad stories. It has fewer than 149,500 kilometers (92,900 miles) recorded on its odometer, a figure well-documented through the years. The original factory installed sports seats with Pepita inserts are intact, as are the original carpets, dash and headliner. The original Fuchs wheels are in wonderful condition and fitted with a fresh set of Pirelli Centurato tires. The original brightwork, lights and lenses remain intact, as does the glass except from the windshield which was replaced as a rock chip hit some years back. One gentle respray in the original Signal Yellow color of the exterior panels has been performed, but jambs and compartments still carry the original factory applied paint. 0918 of course retains its original, matching numbers engine and transaxle.

0918 is offered with the full set of original tools, spare and jack, tire pump, owner's manual and supplement, and an original 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 sales brochure. The car has been featured in magazine articles, which will accompany the sale as well. The level of originality seen on 0918 is just incredible and speaks not only to the fastidious high level of care and loving use this car has seen, but also the quality of these cars. As an exceedingly rare factory right hand drive delivered car (and sole example delivered new to South Africa), equipped with factory sunroof and electric windows - and now offered from the original owner - the level of pedigree found with 0918 will be very hard to find again.

Auction Description:

- Matching-Numbers Engine per Porsche Factory Records
- One of Only 200 M471 Carrera RS Lightweights Built
- Documented Restoration by the Porsche Factory
- Accompanied by Extensive Documentation and Records
- Finished in Classic Grand Prix White with Red Livery

This example, chassis 1193, is one of only 200 RS Lightweights built and benefits from a thoroughly documented Porsche factory restoration commissioned by noted Porsche collector Jean-Claude Miloe.

The Porsche 911 represents the continuing evolution of the tropfenwagen concept, with the engine and gearbox between the rear wheels. With his work both on the Volkswagen and Auto Union Grand Prix cars, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche has become personally associated with the design, although other makers such as Tatra, Mercedes-Benz, and Saab also experimented with it. The 1973 RS is the most powerful, the lightest, and the last of the first-generation road-going 911s. It also introduced significant design features that would become 911 hallmarks, among them muscular rear-wheel arches, staggered Fuchs wheels, and the famous ducktail spoiler.

The RS was developed during a period of gasoline scarcity that resulted in new racing regulations, excluding Porsche’s dominant 917. Porsche thus turned from building race car prototypes to modifying road cars – specifically the 911 – for the track. Notable wins for the 911 were the 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, and the Targa Florio. Racing homologation requirements demanded that 500 examples be built. To Porsche’s surprise, there was plenty of demand and a total of 1,580 RS 2.7s were built.

Mechanically, the RS benefited from a raft of evolutionary tweaks. By using flat-top pistons and Nikasil-lined cylinders, a technique Porsche first used on the 917, the engine capacity was enlarged by a few hundred cubic centimeters, resulting in the first Porsche road car with more than 200 hp. Wind-tunnel research led to a larger front air dam and the distinctive ducktail spoiler, which reduced rear-end lift by 75%. Interestingly, the inspiration for the ducktail’s shape came from the rear of the Fiat 850 GT owned by one of Porsche’s engineers, Tillman Brodbeck.

In Lightweight (or M471) specification, Porsche pared the weight of the RS to 1,984 pounds, down from 2,194 pounds in standard touring form. The savings were accomplished by using thinner body panels, a fiberglass front bumper, an aluminum and fiberglass engine cover, Glaverbel glass, and a stripped interior with minimal soundproofing, thinner carpets, crank windows, racing front seats, and the deletion of the rear seat, clock and sun visor.

This well-documented Lightweight was sold new in Italy before being purchased by Swedish collector Bilar Staffou Kaiser. Collector Jean-Claude Miloe of Paris, purchased the RS in the early 1990s and sent it to the Porsche factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany, in 1995 for a comprehensive restoration, which is documented with three separate invoices, totaling more than 75,000 deutsche marks. Mr. Miloe owned 40 cars, and 1193 was used only sparingly post-restoration. In February 1996, it was sold to Paul Tholly and it remained in the Saint-Étienne area of France for the next two decades.

The RS was acquired by the consignor in 2015 and was serviced by DriverSource of Houston in 2016. This included the reinstallation of the rebuilt type 915 gearbox, installation of new Michelin XWX tires, new valve cover gaskets and valve adjustment, new cold start valves, a new clutch, and the adjustment of the fuel injection system.

Chassis 1193, retaining its matching-numbers engine, is handsomely appointed in the classic and sporting RS color scheme of Grand Prix White with red decals and a black cloth interior. The 1973 RS 2.7 is one of the most iconic Porsches of all time and one of the company’s most successful competition cars. This example, with its Lightweight specification, well-documented provenance, and restoration by the Porsche factory is a particularly desirable example of the legendary 911.
