- Engine
- 2.7L flat-six with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, 210 bhp
- Colour
- Grand Prix White
A 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI finished in Grand Prix White over Midnight Leatherette, this unrestored example is one of 1,633 produced and among the few originally destined for Japan. Equipped with the 210 hp mechanical fuel injection flat-six, factory ducktail spoiler, and rare Porsche bulkhead speakers, it retains its numbers-matching drivetrain and spent roughly four decades with its first Japanese owner before passing through American, Austrian, German, and British hands. The odometer shows just over 15,200 kilometres.
