Produced from 1978 to 1983, the Porsche 911 SC is often regarded as one of the most refined versions of the classic air-cooled generation. Fitted with the robust 3.0-litre flat-six and Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, it combines performance, reliability and authentic driving sensations.
Thanks to its generous torque, communicative steering and iconic architecture, the 911 SC remains one of the most cherished classic Porsches amongst enthusiasts and collectors alike.
This 1978 example stands out with its Lapis Blue presentation, a Porsche shade that appeared well after the 911 SC's production ended and was applied during its restoration. Combined with a black leather interior and 15-inch Fuchs alloys, this configuration gives it a distinctive character whilst respecting the spirit of the model.
According to the seller, the car has undergone a complete restoration including the bodywork, paint, interior and mechanical components. It is accompanied by comprehensive documentation including maintenance and restoration invoices, the original Porsche service booklet and several expert reports.
This 911 SC thus appears to be an interesting proposition for the classic Porsche enthusiast seeking a well-restored and thoroughly documented example. image.png1.35 MB
