Porsche 911 Modified

INTERIOR

Further embodying motorsport inspiration, this 911 partners the old with the new – period correct bucket seats, featuring wonderful Pepita inserts, are secured by Sabelt harnesses attached to a bar on the recently installed half roll cage. The dashboard now features genuine backdated instrumentation inclusive of rev counter that sits behind a dished 380mm RS wheel – ideal for better reach and adjustability. All gear linkages, pedal assembly and gearstick have been fully stripped and rebuilt.

An original Salt and Pepper carpet, with correct sound deadening, has been installed throughout along with new and correct trim to door cards and rear parcel shelf – a tailored carpet section also offers some safe storage space under the bonnet. Whilst tie downs for boot and bonnet are period correct, safety and security were paramount so the cable pulls remain.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

Built on a 930/20 case, this 3.5 litre engine benefits from a number of special parts to create a perfectly balanced powerhouse. With the crank stroked, accompanied by JE Pistons and original RSR sprint cams, the results are incredible – 310hp and 380lb/ft torque at 7,500rpm.

Perfectly tractable and happy around town, the elastic powertrain swells towards peak power with urgency – thrilling, addictive and totally engaging. An RSR style 2 in 2 out backbox ensures the acoustics are a match for the performance.

The gearbox is now a fully rebuilt aluminium 915 unit with factory LSD, reinforced side plate and single bearing retainer.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

Attention to detail is all important and there could only ever be one wheel choice here – 9 and 11 inch wide Fuchs wrapped in recently fitted Pirelli P7 Corsa rubber. Finished in house by Canford Classics the wheels look just sublime.

Stopping power is provided by Carbon 12 – a bespoke set up specifically engineered for this car. The entire suspension system has been upgraded; inspected and detailed prior to re-installation the car runs on a set of coilovers alongside a very special anti-roll bar system. Handling is quite superb on road with forgiving dampers and little to no roll.
