One to Buy: Speedway Green 1 of 123 from 1976 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera Coupe
Have we told you in last five minutes how much we like dislike the whole resto-mod scene here at Supercar Nostalgia?
Whether it’s poor fit back-dates, chintzy interiors or gross over-size wheels, this recent trend to personalise historic objects with a garish modern twist lacks foresight and appreciation for the original maker’s work.
One company that certainly does not fit into that category is the Early 911S operation in Wuppertal, Germany, where Porsches from the 20th century are brought back to as-new condition in the most exacting fashion.
One of our favourite machines from the current Early 911S line up is this: one of 123 2.7 MFI-engined 911 Carrera Coupes built in 1976.
Ordered in rarely seen Speedway Green with Black upholstery, chassis 9116609075 was also optioned with a super desirable limited-slip differential and something else we love – no sunroof.
First registered on June 29th 1976, this matching numbers car is almost like a delivery mileage mid 1970s 911 as Porsche intended. And all the better for it.
