The exterior fixtures, including headlights, tail light assemblies, horn grills, and turn signal assemblies, are all in exceptional condition and fit perfectly. The gaps on this 911 present within factory specifications and all panels show straight bodywork and no sign of previous notable damage.

Mechanically, this 911T is fully sorted and benefitted from a complete engine overhaul about four years ago.

It starts with ease, both cold and hot, makes excellent power through the range, and is an overall pleasure to be connected with. The chassis dynamic is lovely. The car turns in with confidence and load transfers just as it should, giving the driver excellent feedback and confidence.

This 911 is accompanied by service records that date back to 1984, a Certificate of Authenticity, and a correct original tool kit.
