Description

-Signal Yellow with Black graphics, Black Upholstery, Black Carpeting, 2.7 Liter Flat 6 Cylinder Engine, 915 5-Speed Gearbox, Restored, Excellent and thorough history.

The 911 RS does not need an introduction, it has locked its place in Porsche road and race history with the 911 RS Touring, RS Lightweight as well as the most rare of the model range, the RSR. The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is regarded by many collectors and journalists as the greatest 911 ever produced having been manufactured as a direct result of Porsche's racing (RennSport) program. In the past, Octane magazine summarized the RS as: "the ultimate iteration of the 'early shape' 911, with its slimline rear bumper and longer bonnet that curls over the nose, you get the purest, undiluted 911 style."

Porsche eventually produced 1,580 RS examples made up of cars built to both 'Touring' specification, offering basic comfort trim and upholstery, and 'Lightweight' specification. Only 55 in total were transformed to full RSR racing guise and they went on to dominate the 1973 European GT Championship with outright wins at the Daytona 24-hours and Targa Florio. And so the 911 RS legend was born.

This 911 RS Touring was delivered with the factory fitted options of sports seats, headrests, a limited slip differential, Heating for outside Mirror, Fog lamps, Leather Steering Wheel, Rear Luggage compartment in place of rear seats, Manual Antenna/4 Speakers, Additional Rear Apron, Engine compartment Light and Pirelli tires.

Photo documented restoration with all receipts between 2006 and 2007 by Porsche specialist, Canepa Cars, for Porsche Collector and housed with many other Porsches, as well as being maintained regardless of use, presents a very rare (one of 87) opportunity to own a true legend in spectacular condition with great provenance.

This is an excellent opportunity to obtain a very limited and rare air-cooled Porsche that has been fully restored as well as serviced by well-known and respected Porsche marque specialists. A perfect entrant for many of the world's most prestigious driving events. The RS is magnificently engaging with a fabulous engine noise. Superb throughout, this 911 RS Touring is ready for immediate use and enjoyment along with its investment potential.

Recent Servicing, plus new tires and comes complete with original seats (Front and rear) Large History file, Photo Documented restoration, Books, tool roll, Jack, Spare tire compressor and Collapsible spare.
