Porsche 911 E

The coachwork was entrusted to DMG Coachworks in Surrey who stripped the car completely and replaced all corroded metalwork with new, before repainting in its original colour. When it came to rebuilding the engine, renowned specialist Nick Moss of Early 911 deemed that the original crank cases should be replaced (the originals can be supplied with the car to maintain the provenance if required). It was fully rebuilt with barrels/pistons, crankshaft, cam shafts, chains, carriers and hydraulic tensioners. The engine pulls strongly and a rolling road test at the time confirms it produced one brake horse over the quoted 165bhp from new when first rebuilt. Early 911 were also entrusted to rebuild the gearbox, which was fitted with a new flywheel and clutch and restoring all the anodised parts correctly. The brakes and suspensions were completely overhauled and interior Porsche specialist, Southbound, were instructed to produce the new interior and refurbish the seating in the original colour of Tan (502). In all, a great deal of expenditure has gone into making this a very fine Porsche 911E and as a testament to the quality of the restoration work at the time, still presents in excellent rust-free condition today. As well as all invoices and documents to support the history, included is recent email correspondence with some fond memories between the second owner who purchased it in 1974 and the current owner today.

An increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a 2.4 911E Coupe in right hand drive that not only performs as it should but is finished in its original vibrant colour combination that oozes with the charm of its era.
