According to Porsche factory records, this superb Carrera RS 2.7 was completed in December 1972. Originally specified for French delivery, finished in Light Ivory (color code 1111) over a Black leatherette interior. Options include factory air conditioning (ONLY 60 RSs were special ordered with AC), electric windows, Pirelli P6000 tires on 7” and 8” Fuchs wheels. Another desirable factory option was added leather sport seats with headrests.

European Collectibles did a ground-up restoration down to the tub over a 24-month period from 2013 to 2015. Every aspect of the vehicle was addressed with no expense spared. The entire tub was stripped down to the bare metal. All panels, front fenders, and bumpers were pre-fit to ensure the absolute best result. The entire body and undercarriage was painted with Glasurit Light Ivory (paint code 131) to original factory specification. The interior has been completely re-upholstered in “Touring” trim. The complete driveline was rebuilt and everything was addressed including engine, fuel injection pump, transmission with the special RS oil pump, clutch, brake system, tires, suspension, wire harness have all been rebuilt within the last 2,100 Kilometers. Both the engine and gearbox are matching.

A motorsport icon, the Carrera RS is considered by many to be the greatest 911 of all time. Following a complete restoration to original specifications, this example surely will not disappoint. One of the highly desirable, first 500 Carrera RS examples built, chassis number 9113600266 was built to M 472 Touring specification. This RS is ready for immediate road or concours use. Complete with tools, books & documentation of the restoration. Truly one of the best 911RSs, you will find with no issues.
