Porsche 911 S-T

Overall the car presents as an authentic period race car and retains a character that is all too often lost in the modern restoration process.

The car retains the leather Recaro Sport seats which have been in the car for many years and which Rolf Nilsson inherited when he bought it in 1989. However it is currently fitted with a pair of original Recaro lightweight bucket seats which are available by separate negotiation.

The 1971 911 S-T has always been a very desirable car and is regarded by many as the most beautiful of all the 911 iterations. The wheel arches were widened by just enough to give the car a purposeful appearance while the lack of aggressive aerodynamic features found on later cars means it retains the purity of the original 911 shape. It’s no coincidence that the Singer cars and the latest 992 design bear more than a passing resemblance.

The key attraction of this particular car is its status as an intact original lightweight S-T with strong proof of identity. Many of these cars were either raced to the point of destruction or extensively modified such that little of the original car remains. It is extremely rare to find an S-T in such a complete condition and with so many identifying features still present.

As well as being beautiful and rare, a properly prepared 1971 S-T such as this is also a hugely eligible event car. Its size, power to weight ratio and durability make it perfect for top tier road rally events.

Lastly, and probably most importantly, these cars are a dream to drive. They are a perfect mixture of power, weight and grip that is accessible to mere mortals and that does not require a modern F1 circuit to be enjoyed.
