In the early 1970s Porsche continued to do what it has always done best: make its cars even better. After the 2.7litre engine debuted in the tarmac-scorching RS, in 1974 it became available in the G-Model with mechanical injection. These cars also got the refreshed ‘impact bumper’ look, a style that worked so well it remained unchanged for 15 years.
First registered in January 1974, this RHD 2.7 was one of the first to benefit from those twin innovations. In the hands of its enthusiast seller since 1990 and in superb condition with classic red paintwork, it is backed by a huge history file. For enthusiasts of these capable 70s models this is a very well presented example with evidence of considerable investment.

The ’74 911 introduced the ‘impact bumper’ style that has become synonymous with the classic model. This car would have been one of the first to be so-fitted, a RHD example that looks particularly good in its classic colour combination and sat on superb black Fuchs alloys with polished rims. Across the bodywork and through into the black leather interior it is a very well kept car with no significant visible signs of age or use. The attractive specification is topped off by a factory fitted steel sunroof.
The Mechanics
2,687cc flat six Porsche engine derived from the version used in the RS
Fitted with K-Jetronic fuel injection rather than mechanical fuel injection
5spd manual gearbox
Sports exhaust fitted
Extensive maintenance file including recent work to fuel injection system

The G-Model Carrera is where the 911’s modern day hegemony surely began.
This car has clearly been cared for during its owner’s 33 years tenure. The history file is extensive, documenting ongoing work that has included head gasket work, a sports exhaust and new fuel tank. More recently the car has had its fuel injection system comprehensively overhauled.

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.
