Some classic Porsche 911s often surpass their
modern-day era derivatives' value, and this Carrera 2.7 MFI serves as a good
example.
Made in 1974, alongside 1,010 other siblings, the
car was originally supplied to Nick Faure, a Porsche racer and factory driver
of the day, and 8 years later, it was bought by David Pattison, one of the
owners of PCT Porsche Specialists.
Mr. Pattison still has it in his possession to this
day, and during this time, the classic 911 was properly serviced and
maintained. Its 2.7-liter engine, with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, was
stripped out and restored, along with the gearbox, and the car is finished in
its original factory color of Light Yellow, over the black cloth and
leatherette upholstery.
Describing this Porsche 911 Carrera, Nick Taylor,
which founded PCT Cars with Simon Corbett and David Pattison, said: "This
Carrera is an adrenaline junkie's delight! It drives and sounds fantastic - a
proper driver's car from the age of no serve steering or servo brakes."
The classic Porsche will hit the auction block at
SilverstoneAuctions on October 21, when it's estimated to go for
£ 100,000-£ 120,000 (US$ 132,490-158,990), which places it into the new 911 GT3's
territory and its £ 111,802 (US$ 148,127) starting price in the UK.
