A very usable and discreetly upgraded example of the ever-popular modern classic sports car. Under the rear engine lid is a replacement 2.7-litre air-cooled flat-six from a 1974 model-year 911, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This 911 SC’s modifications include a host of Elephant Racing suspension upgrades, an M&K sports exhaust, a WEVO short-shifter, and Rennline aluminium floorboards and pedal set. First introduced for the 1978 model year, the 911 SC or Super Carrera replaced the existing 911 and Carrera models and was produced until 1984. This example is finished in resprayed Slate Grey paintwork over a black leather-trimmed interior, and rides on a set of Maxlite Fuchs-style black alloy wheels with polished rims, shod with recently fitted Pirelli tyres. Featuring a number of well-integrated modifications, the cabin is now equipped with a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, a modern Continental stereo paired with Focal door speakers, Rennline pedals and floorboards, RS America door cards with red fabric door pulls, and a Wevo short-shifter. The car’s handling has also been enhanced by the addition of Bilstein shock absorbers, Elephant Racing bushings and torsion bars, and uprated 911 Turbo tie rods. This 911 SC will be accompanied by various maintenance manuals and a spare wheel.

Resprayed around four years ago, the Slate Grey paintwork is in good overall condition. There are stone chips on the front end and the door mirror covers, some chipping on the leading edge of the driver’s door, and a small imperfection on the driver’s-side of the front bumper. No notable blemishes are visible on the alloy wheels. The tyres are less than 12 months old and have seen minimal use. Moving inside, the black leather interior is in good condition, and the front seats have recently been retrimmed. There are a few signs of use on the dashboard and carpets. The cabin heaters are inoperative as the exhaust manifolds have been replaced with extractors. The air conditioning and cruise control systems have been removed, and the speedometer is non-functional. The car’s most recent roadworthiness test is reported to have been carried out three years ago and resulted in a clean first-time pass. This 911 SC was most recently serviced in August 2020 by its current owner, who replaced the engine oil and filter. The owner also re-torqued the head stud bolts, adjusted the valves, replaced the fuel filter and fuel accumulator, renewed the spark plugs, fan belt and air filter, fitted new engine and gearbox mounts, and carried out a wheel alignment. The replacement 2.7-litre engine was rebuilt in 2017, and the car has covered very few miles since its installation. The 911 SC is a very desirable variant of Porsche’s evergreen sports car, delivering a classic and unfiltered analogue driving experience courtesy of its powerful flat-six engine and involving manual transmission. This handsomely presented example has been discreetly upgraded with a number of well-chosen modifications, and is sure to make for an enjoyable and communicative plaything on its new owner’s favourite roads.
