One of a total 1,023, UK supplied RHD, G series Carreras with the iconic 210 bhp 2.7 litre MFI engine as in the 1973 Carrera RS, giving identical performance figures as the RS Touring, 0-60 6.3 secs and 149mph maximum. Still in the original silver with blue leather the car also benefits from an electric sunroof and the rare addition of factory fitted air conditioning. An earlier restoration has been carried out when the car was stripped and underwent a bare metal respray and new inner & outer sills and four new wings were fitted. Since then it has been fastidiously maintained, a fact illustrated by the 9 trophies won at Porsche Club concours events. Over the past 10 years I have used it as a day to day car, not concours but very original.
The Carrera was originally supplied from Porsche with the first version of a “Whaletail” spoiler as fitted contemporaneously to the RSR, this has been replaced with a non-spoilered engine cover but the original is still with the car.
A few hundred miles ago the 2.7 MFI engine was completely stripped and rebuilt by marque specialists, Jaz Porsche and a new set of Porsche spec Pirelli P6000 tyres were fitted.
The car is registered as a Historic Vehicle road tax is free.
