Highlights
- Restoration completed in 2019 by its previous owner, a retired engineer
- 2.7-litre NA flat-six with a five-speed manual gearbox
- Beautifully presented and reportedly ready to enjoy
The Appeal
It’s unlikely petrolheads will ever agree on ‘the best sports car of all time’, but we’d wager the Porsche 911 would occupy the top spot for most. Those dating from the ‘60s and ‘70s are regarded as some of the purest 911s and thus are amongst the most desirable.
Here we have a charming 1975 911 S that was restored by its previous owner and this was completed in 2019. Presented in fantastic condition and accompanied by a number of servicing invoices from previous owners. This is a particularly striking example with Fuchs alloys and we’re pleased to learn that the restoration returned it to its original colour and factory specifications.
Reportedly driving very well indeed and ready to enjoy, be sure not to miss this excellent opportunity to make this fabulous 911 S yours.
