Description

This 1978 Porsche 911SC is a stunning tribute to one of the most iconic sports cars ever built — the 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2. 7. Restored in the spirit of the RS, this car captures the timeless aesthetic and driving feel that made the original so legendary. The restoration began in 2018 and, to date, has seen over €92, 000 invested to achieve this spectacular result. The attention to detail is immediately evident, from the beautifully finished bodywork and period-correct styling to the exhilarating performance that makes every drive a special occasion.

Under the engine lid lies the heart of the original car — a rebuilt 3. 0-litre flat-six producing 180Bhp, paired with a smooth 5-speed manual transmission. The performance is pure, mechanical, and engaging — everything that a classic 911 should be. With refreshed suspension, gearbox, wiring, and mechanical components, this 911 delivers the kind of precise and balanced handling that defined the golden era of Porsche engineering. It’s not just about looks; this car performs as impressively as it presents.

When it comes to classic Porsches, documentation is key — and this example sets a new benchmark. Accompanied by nearly every MOT since 1985, a fully stamped service book, and a comprehensive file of invoices, its provenance is exceptional. The restoration records alone are meticulously detailed, confirming the extensive scope of the €92, 000 spent — covering bodywork, paint, mechanicals, electrics, and more. This level of documentation gives any discerning buyer the confidence that no detail has been overlooked.

More than just another G-Model, this 911SC has been transformed into a truly special driver’s car. While it doesn’t carry the RS badge, it embodies the same spirit — lightweight, responsive, and engaging on every road. This is a classic Porsche built for those who appreciate authenticity, craftsmanship, and the thrill of driving. Ready to be enjoyed immediately, it offers the perfect blend of heritage, performance, and pure driving pleasure.
