This Porsche 911 S 2.7 is an attractive example of the popular sports car, benefitting from a documented $18,000 worth of recent mechanical recommissioning. Under the decklid sits a matching-numbers 2.7-litre air-cooled flat-six, sending power to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. In addition to the mechanical work, the Porsche was repainted in 2021 and the dashboard was refurbished in 2023. The Porsche was manufactured in 1974 as a 1975 model year car, and it was reportedly first registered in California in 1975, before later being shipped to Japan for a US serviceman. It was subsequently imported to Australia in 2007 but was not road-licenced until the seller purchased the car in 2021 and recommissioned the vehicle following a lengthy period in storage. The car’s matching-numbers status has been confirmed by Porsche Cars Australia. The five-digit odometer shows 19,350 miles, but this is not warranted. The 911 S 2.7 is finished in the timeless combination of red over a black leatherette-trimmed interior. It rides on 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with coloured Porsche crest centre caps, fitted with Pirelli tyres. Equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, wooden gear knob, heated rear screen, interior lights, wind-up front windows and pop-out rear windows. This example is fitted with a modern VDO stereo head unit, upgraded door speakers and retrofitted red rear lap belts. The Porsche is accompanied by its import paperwork, an ADR inspection report, a collection of specialist invoices for work completed in the seller’s three-year ownership totalling approximately $18,000, a spare wheel and some original tools. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is no obvious rust; it is generally very clean and tidy on the underside, with many of the nuts and bolts retaining their factory paint markings. The 2021 respray reportedly presents very well, except for one blemish on the front left side of the bonnet and some stone chips. Inside, the dashboard was refurbished by a specialist in 2023, the original headlining is said to be in good condition for its age, and there are minor scuff marks on the driver’s seat. The seller states that there is no rust in the battery area or spare wheel housings. The most recent inspection test was in 2021, resulting in a pass. The dashboard was refurbished by The Dashboard Doctor in July 2023. Specialist Auto Exclusive Perth carried out work on the car between August and October 2022. They removed the engine and adjusted the valve clearances, replaced spark plugs, dismantled the gearbox and replaced all bearings and the fifth gear dog ring, replaced the clutch rear main oil seal, replaced oil thermostat and oil pressure switch O-rings, replaced dome gasket and oil breather hose, and changed the engine oil and oil filter.

Specialist K-Tec Autohaus fitted a new front spoiler in 2021 and prepared the car for Western Australia licencing. This Porsche 911 S 2.7 is an iconic German sports car, reported to present smartly following a 2021 respray and benefitting from an extensive mechanical recommissioning in 2022 that totalled approximately $18,000. With a comfortable cabin, a capable chassis, and characterful flat-six, the Porsche would make a lively addition to a wider collection and a stylish companion for weekend drives.
