Description
For the Porsche enthusiast seeking a blend of timeless vintage style and modern performance, this 1982 Porsche 911 SC (ZV 26410) offers a rare opportunity. Meticulously backdated to capture the iconic silhouette of an earlier 911, the car features a comprehensively re-engineered powerhouse underneath. It is an exceptionally well-sorted classic, beautifully restored and ready for its next custodian to enjoy.
This 911 SC benefits from a substantial investment in its mechanical health, ensuring both longevity and refined performance. In 2022, UK Porsche specialists Ninemeister completed a full top-and-bottom-end engine rebuild exceeding £45, 000, upgrading it with 964 camshafts, a Motec M84 ECU, and an Individual Throttle Body (ITB) system. This was complemented in 2025 by a €17, 455 gearbox rebuild by DOB Sportscars, featuring optimized first and second gear ratios that deliver a highly precise, reliable drivetrain.
Visually, the car presents beautifully following an aesthetic restoration by Bodytech between 2019 and 2021. Stripped to bare metal, it underwent a classic backdate conversion with a replacement front panel to accommodate a long bonnet, early-style wings, and vintage bumpers. The car features a clean black finish inside and out, with structural sills, slam panels, and kidney dishes replaced as needed. Protected by a 2-pack underbody sealer, the exterior is finished with fresh rubber seals and hand-refurbished wheels.
Inside, the cabin offers a refreshed environment that respects its heritage while adding subtle modern upgrades. The cockpit features a new carpet set, two updated front seats, and fresh door cards. A discreet HiFi head unit is supported by modernized chassis wiring and new fuse boards. The driver's interface is completed by a premium Stomski Racing "917 Edition" shifter and an overhauled linkage, providing a beautifully precise, tactile gear change.
On the road, this Porsche delivers an incredibly rewarding and connected driving experience. The combination of the 964 cams and individual throttle bodies offers a crisp, immediate throttle response and a classic air-cooled sound. Paired with the smooth gear changes of the rebuilt gearbox and the balanced stopping power of upgraded 3. 2 Carrera front brakes, the car handles with composure and precision. It possesses the tight, reassuring feel of a completely sorted machine that is a true pleasure to drive.
