A well-presented example of the evergreen 911, finished in the quintessential Porsche hue of Guards Red. Under the engine lid sits an air-cooled 3.2-litre flat-six, producing up to 170kW / 228bhp, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. This 911 was originally delivered to South Africa and was subsequently exported to Australia, where it is now offered for sale. This example is finished in Guards Red over a black leatherette cabin fitted with sport seats. It rides on a correct set of 15-inch black Fuchs alloy wheels with a polished lip, shod with recently fitted Goodyear tyres. The specification includes central locking, air conditioning, an electric sunroof, and a modern Alpine stereo. Accompanying the car is the original owner’s book pack, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a handful of invoices. Factory specification: C26: South African-market vehicle 058: Impact absorbers front and rear 197: Stronger battery 261: Passenger-side electric door mirror 341: Central locking 383: Left sports seat with electrical height adjustment 387: Right sports seat with electrical height adjustment 401: Light alloy rims, 15-inch 559: Air conditioning 650: Electric sunroof There is no known bodywork damage. The paintwork presents very well and is believed to have previously been resprayed. There is a very small chip on the passenger-side door, and some slightly uneven paint around the front valance, but overall the exterior looks smart. All four genuine Fuchs alloy wheels were reconditioned at the same time that the engine was rebuilt, and the tyres are new. Moving inside, the black leatherette upholstery has some surface wear on the driver’s bolster, and modest creasing elsewhere. The cabin is very presentable for its age though, with modest signs of use on the switchgear and main touchpoints. The sunroof is non-operational, but no other electrical or mechanical faults have been detected. The last service was performed in April 2022 by Autohaus Hamilton. In October 2021 at 228,421 kilometres, R-Tech Racing carried out a top-end engine rebuild. They also replaced a side shaft and installed new brake discs, brake pads, and tyres. Abbot Cars previously carried out a service in May 2017 at 223,829 kilometres.
