About this car

The Carrera 3.0 was built for only two model years and is among the scarcest of the impact-bumper 911s. Just 3,687 were made in coupe and Targa form, and the page puts right-hand-drive coupes at 575. This 1977 car is finished in Copper Brown Metallic over black leather and sits on 15-inch Fuchs alloys.

It was supplied new in Hong Kong, then a British territory, and came to the UK in 1979. It spent 2008 to 2016 in Norway before returning to Britain. It is a matching-numbers car with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and it has full service history, including the original stamped service book and a folder of invoices.

The car has been repainted in its original colour but has never had a full restoration. It shows 50,853 miles. A service and tune-up has just been done, with four new Michelin tyres and a new Bosch battery. The MOT runs to May 2027 with no advisories.
