1974 Porsche 911 3.2-litre 'Carrera Classic' Coupé (Rindt Vehicle Design restomod)
- Engine
- Rebuilt 3.2L flat-six with Jenvey Dynamics fuel injection and programmable ECU
- Colour
- Gulf livery (light blue with orange accents)
A bespoke 'restomod' Porsche 911 built on a 1974 G-Series bodyshell by Berkshire-based specialist Rindt Vehicle Design, chosen because the commissioning owner was born that year. The shell was comprehensively restored and modified to 2.7 RS specification — including widened arches and a duck-tail spoiler — then finished in Gulf-inspired livery. Power comes from a rebuilt 3.2-litre engine with Jenvey fuel injection, mated to a Sportomatic gearbox. The car was featured in Classic Porsche magazine in August 2024 and exhibited at Salon Privé the same year.
