A head-turning example of Porsche’s lauded 1970s sports car, offered by sale by its current owner of 49 years. Under the rear lid is an air-cooled 2.7-litre flat-six, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed ‘Sportomatic’ transmission. The seller reports that the odometer has not rolled over, and that the indicated 66,418 kilometres is correct (supplied service receipts support this). The engine was rebuilt six to eight years ago, and the car has been kept garaged when not in use. This 911 S is finished in Lime Green over a purposeful black interior featuring a replacement gear knob and Clarion stereo. It rides on a set of 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, shod with Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Accompanying the sale is the original stereo, gear knob, and ‘Targa’ badge. The seller reports that the car has not been involved in an accident, though has sustained a few parking knocks, scratches, and rust patches throughout its life, and that small areas of the car have been resprayed to rectify this. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: scratches on the left-hand side of the front skirt, minor stone chips, rust spots, and areas of bubbling on the paintwork, Inside, there is a hole in the driver’s carpet, and cracks in the dashboard. The seller also reports that some of the seals may need replacing, and that small holes have been drilled on the underside of the left-hand door to prevent rainwater from collecting. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. The car was last serviced in August 2021 at 66,349 kilometres by Porsche Centre Melbourne, who performed a compression test and cylinder leak down test, drained excess oil, restored the gear lever, inspected the transmission, and supplied a new trickle charger. The seller reports that a few general comments were made following this service, including: an inefficient footbrake, corrosion on the brake discs, and surface corrosion on the generator fan and housing. Exact details of all previous services are unknown as the service book was lost during a house move, though the seller notes that the first three services were performed by the factory in Stuttgart, and that almost all services in Melbourne were carried out by Porsche. Receipts for services from 1998 to 2012 are available. The engine was rebuilt six to eight years ago by Porsche specialist Louis Giosis. This is an eye-catching example of Porsche’s celebrated 1970s sports car, driven for only 66,418 kilometres and specified in the rare shade of Lime Green. Treated to an engine rebuild within the last few years and reported by its long-term owner to be largely original and unmodified, it is sure to be a crowd-pleasing entrant at any classic car show, and is ready to be enjoyed on a new series of open-top weekend jaunts.
