Porsche 911 L

So how good is it really? On the road it is a hoot to drive, the bodyshell is rock solid and the car has been well set up for its intended role. The engine is actually very flexible and well suited to the 5 ratios in the 901 box, offering a good spread of torque and power allowing swift progress to be made. The weber carburettors are beautifully set up, the car starting on the button every time and working well with the S cams that have been fitted. All 5 gears and reverse work fine, although care needs to be taken when selecting first and second from cold suggesting the synchro’s are a little worn. The exterior is smart in appearance whilst the best way to describe the wheels and interior as perfectly functional, but `shabby chic` in appearance, the fully functional Brantz rally timer adding to the charm. So, to answer, perfectly useable as it is to continue on a number of road rallies such as Scottish Malts, Tour Auto, Modena Cento Ore etc. With further modifications, it would be suitable for several historic race series including the 2.0 Cup. Other options would be to turn it back to a standard or Sports Purpose type road car.
