1973 911RS M471 – LIGHTWEIGHT
Maybe the most desirable of all 911’s?
The 73 RS Lightweight (option code M471) was only ordered by 200 privileged clients.
The total production run of the 1973 911RS was of just 1580 cars and that number includes the 2.8L RSR (49 of them – M491), 17 RS-H and then the 200 Lightweights, all the rest were M472 Touring spec.
This wonderful 73 RS was delivered in the striking and iconic Grand Prix White / Blue combo to its first owner in Italy who kept it until 2014. 41 years with just one owner, how many RSses can claim that? On top of that the car lived an easy life and was never modified over the decades into a G model SC or 930 in the days when a 73 RS just wasn’t cool enough anymore.
BelgiumThe car had been kept in a well maintained condition but was in need of a restoration. (It had been repainted at different times on different area’s of its body and there was some minor rust that needed to be treated.) When the last owner purchased the car he decided it deserved a full restoration and the car was stripped to bare metal and completely restored.
The matching numbers engine was rebuilt and all of the running gear gone through from front to back.
Recently the car was given a big service, the mechanical fuel injection was tuned to perfection and the suspension set as if it had just rolled off the assembly line in 1973.
A wonderful 911RS Lightweight that has all the thin steel panels is a rare find these days and this one checks all the boxes. All body numbers were scanned and found to be absolutely authentic, the thin steel was measured all throughout the car with ultrasound. The car comes with the Porsche COA and build sheet confirming it was an M471 (Lightweight) ordered with the M220 (Limited slip differential) and blue wheels and Carrera scripts. The documentation recaps the car’s ownership history, the car before the restoration, the complete restoration work and all recent work executed on the car.
The car is located in Belgium close to Brussels.
