The Appeal
This fabulous late 911T is in great all-round condition, having been extensively renovated and restored to a very nice and useable, rather than concourse, condition that would look great as part of any collection or in your garage.
The simple lines and design of the 911 are very evident in this model, and it being one of the last first generation 911’s is bound to send some hearts racing and attract a lot of keen interest.
The Light Yellow paintwork, re-sprayed during its renovation, is still looking good with only an unfortunate scratch on the rear left wing detracting slightly from its overall excellent presentation.
All the panels and bodywork are straight and true, with great shut lines and a nicely snug-fitting new Targa roof.
The Fuchs wheels are all in great shape and are all shod with good tyres, with the brushed stainless-steel finish of the Targa hoop really completing the whole classic 911 look.
The last full service was carried out in 2020 in anticipation of an aborted rally (due to covid) in France with the vendors Guernsey Old car club, and the car has done very little mileage since that time. More recently, the car has been checked over and road tested as per the two-page inspection report found in the gallery, which we are happy to say, it passed with flying colours.
Part of a larger collection of vintage Porsche’s the car has spent some time on the Chanel Islands with its present owner but is now back and ready for a reluctant sale due to some rationalisation of the car collection.
The car drives very nicely, with no issues to report, and the owner has enjoyed trouble-free open-topped motoring throughout his ownership.
It’s hard to think of a more iconic classic sports car than the Porsche 911, and this is a great opportunity for someone looking for that special example of an early 911.

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.
