About this car
This is a left-hand-drive Porsche 911 SC with an unusual back story. Built in 1977 and supplied new through Chick Iverson Porsche in Newport Beach, California, it stayed with one female owner from 1980 until 2018. The current keeper then inspected it in California and shipped it to the UK.
The car has not been restored. The dealer describes worn paint and general patina, and it keeps early details including chrome window trim and American-market headlamps. The air-cooled 3.0-litre flat-six is paired with a manual gearbox, and the car is said to drive well with no known faults.
It shows 124,264 miles. The history file includes the original paperwork and a thick folder of invoices and receipts. It will suit a buyer who wants an unrestored, well-documented early SC.
