About this car

This is one of just 200 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweights built to the M471 Sport specification, the version Porsche developed as the basis for the racing RSR. Chassis 9113600810 was delivered new in 1973 to German rally driver Heinz Walter Schewe in special-order Gulf Blue (colour code 328).

Schewe won the 1976 German Rally Championship and kept the car for around 40 years, until 2013. It started the 1976 Lombard RAC Rally in Wales as car #44 but crashed out. The history file includes factory invoices for the rally preparation and for a replacement type 915 gearbox and clutch.

The car was later restored by Schewe. It has a type 911/83 engine, correct for an RS but not the original, so it is non-matching. The dealer says the price reflects that competition history and the car's condition. It is UK-registered and has previous German documentation including a TÜV certificate. It also has FIA HTP Appendix K papers for the H1 period (1972 to 1975), valid until December 2029.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Porsche factory figures for the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 (210 PS DIN). Weight, top speed and 0-60 are omitted because I couldn't confirm the exact published values for the Lightweight (M471) version, and 0-100 km/h was the quoted acceleration figure.).
