- India Red
Chassis 9113601108 is a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS Touring, one of only thirty examples originally finished in special-order India Red — a colour it retains today. Built with sport seats, fog lights, a limited-slip differential, and retractable belts, the car later passed through a Japanese museum before arriving in the United States. Following a comprehensive rotisserie restoration completed in 2012 by Porsche specialists, it achieved a near-perfect PCA concours score and has covered fewer than 1,000 miles since.
