One to Buy: ex-Mickie Most 1974 / 83 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera 'Kremer 935 Street'
/
Ignoring the wickedly expensive 911 3.0 Carrera RS homologation special of which a little over 50 units were built, the ultimate 911 that Porsche offered for the 1974 model year was the 2.7 Carrera.
Blessed with much of the mechanical equipment from the fabled 2.7-litre Carrera RS produced during the 1973 model year, the 1974 MY 2.7 Carrera was offered in Coupe and Targa body styles of which just 1036 and 433 were built respectively.
A watered down 2.7 Carrera Coupe was also produced for the North American market (528 built), but that variant used the 175bhp 911 S motor instead of the full fat 210bhp unit installed for Rest of World examples.
Currently on offer at the Trofeo Cars showroom in Holt, Norfolk, is numerically the eleventh from last 1974 model year 2.7 Carrera Coupe: chassis 9114601025.
Ordered new by music producer, Mickie Most of RAK Records, chassis ‘1025’ was originally configured in silver with blue upholstery and first registered at Most’s London address on August 27th 1974.
In 1983, Most elected to have his still very low mileage 911 Carrera dispatched to the Kremer works in Cologne for conversion to 935 Street trim.
Work carried out included a full cosmetic update (nose, fenders, doors, spoilers and mirrors) along with competition-spec. suspension, a front-mounted oil cooler and lightweight Fuchs wheels (8 x 15 front and 11 x 15 rear). The original silver paint was switched to a dramatic blue and orange colour scheme.
Mickie Most retained chassis ‘1025’ for 42 years and today this uniquely configured 911 is presented with a little under 9000 miles from new.
