1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring

9113601025roadGermany

Engine: 2.7L flat-six, Type 911/83
Colour: 'Bahia' red

A late 2nd Series 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS in Touring specification, chassis 9113601025, originally delivered new in Italy in April 1973. Unusually for a late 2nd Series example, it retains the thin steel body panels typically associated with 1st Series cars, a fact confirmed by specialist inspection. Finished in rare ex-factory Bahia red — one of an estimated 40 so painted — it was comprehensively restored in 2006, with the original matching-numbers crankcase retained and offered with the car. Currently Monaco-registered.

Modification
The original magnesium crankcase was replaced as a precautionary measure with a strengthened 7R Type 911/83 engine unit of matching type and year, stamped with the original number. The original crankcase is retained and offered with the car.
The fragility of the original magnesium cases is well documented among RS specialists; the swap was precautionary rather than due to failure.
—Inspection
Gaby and Gert Callewaert
Formal inspection by Porsche 2.7 RS specialists confirming correct thin steel body panels, accurate chassis number stamping, original VIN plate, correct tunnel strengthening, original bumpers, and the presence of the correct concealed identifying number behind the dashboard.
