A meticulously conceived Porsche 911 Safari Tribute based on a genuine 1975 Porsche 911 2.7S, combining authentic air-cooled Porsche heritage with the rugged, functional spirit of the iconic Safari rally cars.
This is not a cosmetic reinterpretation or a static restoration. It is a purpose-built driver’s machine, engineered to be used across a wide range of conditions — from fast road driving and long-distance touring to gravel tracks and historic rally-inspired events. The philosophy behind the build is simple: functionality, durability, and driving engagement above all else.
At its core lies the robust and highly regarded 3.0-litre Porsche 911 SC flat-six engine, chosen for its torque delivery, reliability, and improved drivability over the original 2.7 unit. The result is a far more usable classic 911, equally comfortable at pace on mountain roads or covering long distances with ease.

Driving Character
From behind the wheel, this 911 delivers a uniquely engaging experience that sets it apart from a conventional air-cooled 911. The raised Safari stance, reinforced chassis feel, and upgraded suspension geometry create a planted and confident driving character, particularly on uneven or unpredictable surfaces.
The SC engine adds a layer of flexibility and torque that transforms the car into something genuinely usable in modern conditions. It is a 911 that encourages exploration rather than restraint — a car that invites long journeys, detours, and roads less travelled.

Additional Value & Flexibility
The car is supplied with all original components required to return it to a Fast Road specification. This adds a rare level of flexibility, allowing the next owner to configure the vehicle according to intended use — whether retaining its Safari identity or reverting to a more road-focused classic 911 setup.
Build Philosophy & Provenance
This project was developed with a clear intent: to create a usable, mechanically honest interpretation of a Safari Porsche, rather than a purely aesthetic or static build.
The Safari concept was chosen because it naturally aligns with the 911’s fundamental character — simple, robust, and capable when engineered correctly. Each modification was selected with purpose, prioritising durability and real-world performance over visual excess.
The drivetrain, suspension, braking system, and interior upgrades were all designed to enhance usability while preserving the analogue driving experience that defines the air-cooled 911.
Equally important is the reversible nature of the build. The inclusion of all original Fast Road components ensures the car retains long-term adaptability, making it not just a single-purpose vehicle, but a platform that can evolve with future ownership.
In essence, this 911 occupies the space between classic restoration and motorsport preparation — a driver-focused machine built for use, not display.
