The Appeal

Porsche’s ‘continuous evolution’ mantra led to the more luxurious G-Series and then the introduction of the aluminium 3litre air cooled engine.

The SC also got the wider Carrera body style and could be specified with many of the features of the classic 930 Turbo, like the ‘Whale Tail.’ That was not just there for aesthetics, it served a much-needed purpose: pushing the wayward rear onto the tarmac at higher speeds.

Alongside the more stand-out red colours, buyers could specify subtle Lago Green, a metallic hue that suits the classic lines as this car shows. It features that 3litre motor, black Fuchs, the Whale Tail and the versatile Targa roof and is in superb condition inside and out. Well specified and ready to enjoy, it is sure to be in demand.

History and Paperwork

VIN records show that this car was built in 1980 and is a factory correct 911SC
4,831 SC coupes and Targas were built in 1980 and this is car number 2,949
G-Series car with desirable 3litre engine and aesthetic enhancements
European market car with KPH speedo

The Condition

Finished in very appealing Lago Green metallic with contrasting cream interior
Condition inside and out is very good with few signs of its age or use
Bodywork in good order with clean lines, consistent panel gaps and no visible corrosion
The paintwork is similarly very well kept, just a small area of paint reaction to note on driver’s side rear wing
Black factory correct Fuchs alloys with polished rims in excellent, unmarked condition
Optional Whale Tail fitted with front spoiler
Smart interior appears to have been retrimmed in cream with white piping
Cream dashtop with contrasting black fittings also applied to door cards
Cabin presents very well with barely if any signs of wear
Front boot similarly trimmed in contrasting back and cream and showing no marks
Fitted with black carpets and 911SC branded black over mats
Retains its period-correct Grundig radio cassette system
Good switchgear with clear dials and decals throughout

The classic 911 shape is so familiar that we can perhaps become inured to its drama. But it only takes an example like this lovely Lago Green car to remind us how good these cars look when carefully specified from the factory, as here. It looks magnificent, the appealing metallic paintwork complemented by contrasting cream leather interior. It is all in very good order and betrays few if any signs of wear.

The effect is completed by those smart black Fuchs alloys and the iconic Whale Tail.

The Mechanics

SC specification car with later 3litre aluminium flat six engine developing 188bhp
Engine has been rebuilt as documented in photographs
5spd manual gearbox

From 1978 the SC gained the 930’s aluminium 3litre flat six engine. Stronger and more durable than previous iterations, this 188bhp is highly rated by enthusiasts. This car’s engine has been comprehensively and professionally rebuilt, which is documented in the photographs.

Quick, capable and engaging, this is a mechanically overhauled car that looks ready to enjoy.
