Matching Numbers – Orange E7 – Documented History and Restoration
The Porsche 911 Carrera 2. 7 MFI is regarded as one of the most desirable classic 911 models. Built exclusively for the European market, it is powered by the legendary 2. 7-litre Type 911/ 83 flat-six engine, equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and derived directly from the 1973 Carrera RS 2. 7. Producing 210 bhp at 6, 300 rpm and paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, this powertrain delivers immediate throttle response, a distinctive mechanical soundtrack and the sporting character for which this model is renowned.
With only 2, 264 examples produced between 1974 and 1976 — comprising 1, 633 Coupés and 631 Targas — the Carrera 2. 7 MFI stands out for its widened bodywork, muscular G-Series silhouette and its close link to Porsche's motorsport heritage.
Delivered new in Italy in September 1973, this 1974 model-year Carrera 2. 7 MFI presents in its original colour combination: Orange E7 exterior paint and black interior. It retains its original Type 911/ 83 engine, bearing number 6640254. The matching of engine and chassis numbers the details below) was officially confirmed by Porsche France on 6 May 2022.
Its ownership history is documented from 2005, with four successive owners recorded.
