According to its accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, this smart, original right-hand drive 911T was completed on 01/ 02/ 1972, finished in Silver Metallic (8080) with a black leatherette/ dogtooth inserts interior and optioned with sport seats, rear wiper and tinted windows before being despatched to Porsche Cars GB and subsequently UK-registered as PGC 689K
Some of this cars early history is detailed in the 'Sellers Rating' but, whilst in the ownership of Liam Dowling, Bob Watson was commissioned to rebuild the engine to 2. 7-litre RSR-spec (over £20, 000 in the 1990s!)
Running mechanical fuel-injection, the Dyno report indicates an output of just over 250bhp; very competitive in 911 club racing
Recent work includes a major service, new spark plugs, oil filter, fuel filter, fresh brake fluid, replace the rocker covers and fit a Stormski short-shift gear selector and precise coupler
The nicely bound history file contains lots of invoices for parts and works completed, its Competition Log Book from September 2000, correspondence, and a fairly comprehensive list of previous keepers
This is a fast, early UK right-hand drive 911 in a super colour, on the button with a powerful RSR-spec engine, great handling and in the right hands, will continue to be competitive for years to come. As a non-sunroof, side oil-fill car with competition history it might be worth thinking about returning the car to original spec and pursuing FIA status, however, as a race car or a fast-road 911 it appears attractively estimated, considering its specification and provenance
