Every once in a while, a car comes along that ticks all the right boxes. This is one of them. '80s 911s were well-built and enjoy a good survival rate as a result, but few can boast such an enviable original specification as this SC from 1983. Factory-specified in the rare and oh-so fetching Glacier Blue, this highly-optioned car is believed by the vendor to be the coveted Sport model, complete with a Porsche-fitted sunroof. 

Many consider the SC the best of the air-cooled 911s, offering ample usable performance and greater reliability from its 3.0-litre, fuel-injected aluminium ‘boxer’ engine than its predecessors. It was a huge success, helping to ensure that the 911 lived on far longer than envisaged by Porsche itself at a time when the Stuttgart manufacturer was experimenting with front-engined, water-cooled GTs.

The seller states that they have owned this distinctive UK market RHD example since 2002, and that it has always been stored in a garage and only driven in the dry since then. During their ownership, the car has been resprayed in its original Glacier Blue (L32Z) and fitted with a larger rear spoiler and polished Speedline Mistral 16-inch split-rim alloy wheels.

Other stated work includes a replacement Sekurit windscreen; an engine top-end rebuild and gearbox rebuild by Redline Racing; a new clutch and flywheel; a stainless steel exhaust; stainless steel heat exchangers and hydraulic tensioners; and a rebuilt and rebuilt rear suspension with new rear wheel bearings and replacement calipers all round.

Inside, the blue leather interior includes light blue piping to complement the exterior colour, and features ‘911’ treadplates.

This striking car awaits its next custodian.
