A matching-numbers 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.4 Coupé, one of 1,750 produced for the model year, finished in yellow with a part-leather houndstooth interior. Delivered new through a Düsseldorf dealer in March 1972, it was later registered in Suffolk, England, before being sold at auction in 2008 and subsequently acquired for a Kuwaiti private collection, where it remained on static display.
