According to its certificate of authenticity issued by Porsche, this car was supplied new on 21 December 1973 to the dealer in Jacksonville, Florida, in the United States. It was finished in ‘Grand Prix Weiss’ with red leather upholstery and tinted glass. Its American Certificate of Title shows that it had the same owner from 1987 to 2007 before being sold to a motorist from Lake Worth, who in turn sold it in 2011 to a German enthusiast in Schweinfurt. After importing the car into his home country, he had it completely restored, cosmetically and mechanically. The body was stripped to bare metal and he had Knüpfing Motorsport, from Estenfeld, install an engine tuned in the spirit of the 3.0-litre RS, producing nearly 240bhp. A copy of the bill for the parts from this specialist is included in the history file. A valuation report from Classic Data prepared after the restoration gave the car a rating of 1, the best possible. It is indeed in beautiful condition, with its ‘Grand Prix White’ paintwork enhanced by the Carrera logos on the sides of the car, its ducktail rear spoiler recalling the Carrera RS, and its black Fuchs wheels with chrome outer rings. The interior is magnificent, with seats retrimmed in superb red leather, which is also used for the door cards, red carpets with black overmats, and a faultless dashboard.

This car reflects one enthusiast’s admiration for the Carrera 3.0 RS and his desire to come close to that model, both technically and aesthetically. The result is a lovely 911 S, whose sporting looks match its improved performance compared with the standard version.
