I like how they get around that the car has been "re-bodied"....

The fraud in this market makes me sick.

And a huge caution to those chasing bargain prices; you get what you pay for in most cases. Pay the extra $100k for provenance and quality

I like how they get around that the car has been "re-bodied"....

and the fact that the "Engine numbers match factory records" does not mean it has not been re-stamped to "match" the records - cant tell with no photos

[vtacarguy]

I was "told" it was also "re-stamped"...
I have not seen first hand.

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.

Auction Description:

- European-delivered, left-hand drive, Touring-spec RS (M472) indicating 77,000km (atoc)
- Raced and rallied in its early years before being imported into the UK in 2007 and registered TGF 708L in 2008
- £40,000 recent expenditure with a highly regarded Porsche specialist and now 'on the button', the bodyshell has been subject to reconstruction and hence listed with an appropriate guide price. Shut-lines, panel gaps and geometry are all very good
- Engine numbers match factory records. Gearbox rebuilt. Full geometry set up. Fresh FIA Technical Passport
- The history file contains detailed invoices for recent works, the current V5c, FIA papers, a Letter of Authenticity from Porsche GB, invoices for maintenance over the years, previous HTP papers (exp Dec 2019), older MOT Certificates, the current MoT expiring 17 June 2021, a wealth of invoices for the aforementioned recent works, a copy of the HTTP application and other related documents
- This 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring (VIN 9113600312) was built to a home-market, left-hand drive spec in December 1972 (1973 MY), finished in factory Pale Yellow with a black interior and is recorded as having been sold on the 1st of January 1973.

Documents within the history file suggest that 0312 was raced and rallied, mainly in France, from 1973-75. During 1975, records indicate that the car was updated to 3.0 RSR specification and continued its rallying career until around 1982. There are details of the car competing in 'Rallye Ronde de la Durance’, 'Critérium des Cévennes’ and ’Glace Neige’ with numerous drivers including Lucien Bec. In 1985, the car was sold to a German buyer wearing 3.0 RS bodywork and is believed to have been stored in a heated garage, unused and gathering dust. Further documents and research conducted by previous owners outline most of the car's history from the late 80s to 2015, including FIA HTP papers granted in 2014.

Our vendor purchased RS 0312 from a respected classic Porsche dealer based in Florida on 29th October 2015 and instantly set about a schedule of works to have this RS set up for drive ability on the road with occasional circuit use. All subsequent work was to be entrusted to a UK-based, highly-regarded Porsche specialist and the history file contains detailed inspection reports and invoices totaling over £40,000 to prepare the car correctly. Current FIA HTP papers have been applied for and granted, although due to the current Covid-19 situation they are currently awaited. The RS is accompanied by evidence of research conducted by previous owners (upon which this description is based), a Letter of Authenticity from Porsche GB, invoices for maintenance over the years, previous HTP papers valid to December 19, older MOT Certificates, the current MOT expiring 17th June 2021, a wealth of invoices for the aforementioned recent works, a copy of the HTTP application and other related documents.

In summary, this is a very well sorted 2.7 RS Touring that has been raced, rallied, maintained and rebuilt over the years with significant recent investment to ensure the car presents and performs well. Having been a competition car for many years the body-shell has been subject to reconstruction and hence listed with an appropriate guide price. Shut-lines, panel gaps and geometry are all very good, viewings and inspections are welcome. It's being offered by our vendor as he has recently purchased another very interesting 2.7RS and would like the funds to get this new project started. With fresh HTP papers, this is a super example of the legendary 2.7RS and, as well as being a stunning road car, could compete effectively at club level and be welcome at lots of prestigious motorsport events.

Not had time to look at photos in much detail but a few things jump out on what I suppose was Italian market spec 73 911. How does it compare to Italian market 911 nuances of that year — others might wish to comment?

Try the link again, apparently Silverstone updated the page and changed the URL. That is the reason I try to capture as much info in the post, since links break or disappear.
