The engine was fully built around genuine 7R magnesium cases to short stroke ST specification. This included the cases shuffle pinned and gas flowed, 2.2 crank 66mm, Porsche S nitrided rods, JE pistons, Mahle barrels, twin plug heads with new guides 3 angle valve seat and enlarged ports, titanium valve springs, new race valves, ST twin plug distributor, S specification cams, uprated and completely rebuilt MFI pump, uprated oil pump, 1”5/8 race headers and lightweight aluminium flywheel. The gearbox has been completely rebuilt with new synchros and drive gears, Wavetrack LSD, and all new seals and bearings. The steel ST arches were hand beaten to accommodate 7” x 15” front and 9” x 15” rear wheels. The brakes were upgraded with 2.7 RS calipers and vented discs with period Koni adjustable dampers and uprated roll bars. A lightweight clutch was fitted along with a Tuthill adjustable pedal box. The wheels are 7×15” refurbished Fuchs on the front and 9”x15” Minilites on the rear, just as the ST was in period. Bosch twin fuel pumps are also fitted along with a plumbed in fire suppression system and Schroth 5 point harnesses. The stripped shell was placed onto a Cellette jig at CageCraft who installed a full FIA weld in roll cage and further period correct, FIA spec chassis/suspension mount strengthening. Tuthills then water blasted the underside before the rest of the car was media blasted by Normandale who carried out the remaining metal and bodywork, including color-changing the car back to its original Signal Orange which matches the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity on file. Additional engine setup and transmission work was carried out by BS Motorsport, including the fitment of a new LSD, and then Centre Gravity provided the final fast road suspension setup. This is a genuine 911 2.2 T upgraded to 2.3 S/T as in period and as such the car is FIA HTP papered as a 1971 Porsche 911 2.3 S/T G2/GTS21 Competition GT car. Both Jurgen Barth and Jeff Moyes assisted Oshe Automotive in gaining the FIA HTP accreditation and there are seven years left on the HTP papers.
Some subtle changes have been made since acquiring the FIA papers which are all easily reversed. Including the fitting of steel bonnet and bumpers in place of fibreglass, the addition of a hidden Bluetooth iPhone controllable sound system, and electric heater & A/C. The interior has also been trimmed to exact requirements including additional padding for the period design D`Eser seats, a custom German square weave carpet set made for the car and a full Muirhead leather interior.
The car drives superbly and sounds fantastic, as only an MFI engine on headers can. The car is supplied with the history file detailing the build and a box file full of past history of the car going back to the 1980s. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a C16 UK classic 911 that has been subject to an ‘open chequebook‘ rebuild and is now eligible for many classic motorsport events and tours or could simply be used as an engaging weekend toy! Over £250,000 has been spent in the past 5 years and to build this car today would cost well over the asking price.
