Delivered new to the UK and first registered on 18th January 1972, this Porsche 911S was purchased by the late Paul Jennings in July 2014 from marque specialist, Paul Stephens, who had acquired it in May 2013. The car had previously been modified and uprated for rallying (miscellaneous upgraded parts offered with the car), and was purchased by Paul Jennings part way through being restored and returned to road specification. Undertaken by Paul Stephens, this was a ground upwards, 'last nut and bolt' restoration to the highest possible standard carried out by one of the UK's foremost Porsche experts (see bills totalling over £100,000 on file, as well as 6 CDs of restoration photographs). Absolutely no expense was spared and the attention to detail is exemplary. In the course of the rebuild, Paul Stephens replaced the uprated 2.7 engine that was in the car with a correct 2.4-litre 'S' unit, which was fully rebuilt and is in immaculate condition, performing perfectly. The Porsche was displayed on Paul Stephens stand at Goodwood when the restoration was finished.
In more recent years the Porsche has been maintained by marque specialists, Autofarm (invoices available). The very substantial history file contains assorted correspondence, details of previous owners, invoices dating back to 1983, a current V5C Registration Certificate, MoT to August 2018, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. A wonderful opportunity to acquire one these highly collectible 2.4-litre Porsche 911S models, fully restored by one of the best in the business.
