A matching-numbers 1973 Porsche 911 S 2.4-litre Targa, delivered new in February 1973 in Light Yellow with a black leatherette interior. Representing the final generation of the 'classic' 911 before the introduction of impact bumpers, the 2.4-litre S variant is regarded by many enthusiasts as the last old-school 911. In 2016 the car underwent a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration by Swiss Porsche specialist RS73, including a repaint in Gulf Orange, a full interior retrim, and a complete chassis and running-gear overhaul. The car is registered in Switzerland and accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, FIA papers, and supporting invoices.
