A 1974–1976 Porsche 911 2.7 Carrera MFI (Mechanical Fuel Injection) Coupé, one of only 34 right-hand-drive Coupé examples imported to the UK and one of just two finished in Silver. Mechanically equivalent to the 1973 Carrera RS but using Bosch mechanical fuel injection, it produces 210 bhp in a 1,075 kg shell. Originally a demonstrator for Glen Henderson Garage, it passed through six documented UK owners before receiving a full bare-metal restoration by Francis Tuthill with engine and gearbox work by Wrightune. Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and a first-edition MFI handbook bearing the same number as the chassis.
