1977 Porsche 911S Coupé
- Engine
- 2.7L air-cooled flat-six, Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, 165 bhp at 5,800 rpm
A 1977 Porsche 911S Coupe (2.7-litre, J-programme) delivered new through a California dealership and retained by its first owner for over four decades, accumulating fewer than 4,000 miles before being sold. Imported into Europe in 2014, the car subsequently passed through a French collector before arriving in the United Kingdom, where independent inspection confirmed all bodywork paint to be original and unrestored. The odometer now reads approximately 4,300 miles, making it an exceptionally low-mileage, unmodified survivor.
