The Appeal
The 1970 Porsche 911 Classic S is a true icon of the automotive world, renowned for its timeless design and exhilarating performance. Lightweight, attractive, and about as curvy as the 70s could allow without them insisting on a public decency order. This car wasn't as brash as its foreign counterparts - it was a smart, calm and collected. A thinking man's supercar.
This particular example has been preserved in its original, unrestored state. It's a fully matching numbers vehicle, sporting original Porsche Fuchs wheels and a beautiful Ivory paint job contrasted by a black leather/vinyl interior. The car has spent most of its life in Malta, benefiting from the dry, warm air that has contributed to its impressive condition.
Recently passed its MOT inspection, this Porsche is ready to hit the road and provide its new owner with the thrilling driving experience that only a classic 911 can deliver.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
