Porsche 911 Carrera RS

This example is among the first 150 Carrera RS models produced, an often overlooked but significant distinction. These early cars benefited from additional gearbox tunnel reinforcement, thinner gauge steel construction, resulting in reduced weight, and a superior quality fibreglass ducktail. Bauthier retained the car until 1985, when it passed to its second owner (K Moffett), who collected it from Lausanne and drove it back to the UK. It remained in his custodianship until 2021 before being acquired by the current owner and taking pride of place within a very significant Porsche collection.

The second owner carried out a sympathetic restoration focused on preservation rather than renewal, ensuring the car’s integrity and originality were maintained. As a result, the RS retains its original floors, panels, wings, doors, and ducktail, and today presents as a remarkably authentic example. It is accompanied by its original service books, toolkit, spare wheel compressor, and an extensive history file documenting its life from new to the present day.

With just 1,308 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring models produced in total, truly exceptional examples are exceedingly rare. This early production, low ownership car combines unique provenance, outstanding originality and careful stewardship throughout its life, making it a genuinely useable yet collectible Carrera 2.7 RS Touring and a compelling opportunity for a discerning buyer.

Upon arriving into our possession in December 2025, the car was immediately entrusted to renowned 2.7 RS and historic 911 specialists Maxted-Page, who carried out a comprehensive recommissioning service, addressing all outstanding items and fitting four new period correct tyres, ensuring the car is presented in optimal mechanical condition for the next custodian to enjoy.
