About this car

This is a 3.0 RSR built to FIA Appendix K specification on the foundation of a 1974 2.7 MFI Carrera. It carries genuine RSR parts, including the 3.0 engine, bumpers, arches, exhaust, fuel injection pump and lightweight rear lights, and has the correct torsion tube reinforcements. Other period details are 917 brakes and discs, centre-lock BBS wheels, a twin master cylinder pedal box and a 100-litre plastic fuel tank. It is finished in period Mexico Blue with a custom white livery.

The page quotes 350 bhp at the rear wheels and a 940 kg kerb weight, with a 915 five-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential. The cabin is stripped for competition, with a fixed Recaro bucket seat, Sabelt five-point harness and Perspex side windows.

The car began as a German-supplied 1973 Carrera 2.7 MFI and came to the UK in 1982. Its history is spread over two large files, with work by Neil Bainbridge, Autofarm and Charles Ivey. A full restoration followed in the early 2000s, and the current owner, who bought it in 2005, then converted it to RSR specification. It comes with invoices spanning two decades, FIA papers and the V5.

Porsche 911 buying guide

The Porsche 911 has been in production since 1964 and has kept the same basic layout throughout: a flat-six engine mounted behind the rear axle, two seats up front and two small ones behind. The range runs from the everyday Carrera and Targa to the four-wheel-drive Turbo and the track-focused GT3 and GT3 RS. Buyers choose it because it works as a daily car, is well built and has a large network of independent specialists.
