Chassis 9113600171 is a first-series 1972/1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring, delivered on 20 December 1972 and finished in the rare factory colour Fraise (Strawberry, code LO2491) — one of very few RS 2.7s produced outside the standard white-with-contrasting-trim scheme. Among 1,590 examples built across all variants, this Touring-specification car carries a documented five-owner German registration history, received an engine overhaul in 1997 and a cosmetic restoration completed in 2007, and retains its original Recaro Sport interior and distinctive ducktail spoiler.

The original engine had previously been swapped for a same-specification unit from a 1975 Carrera; the date of that swap is not documented.
