Chassis 911360463 is a late third-series Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Touring, one of only five examples finished in special-order Signal Orange with a black leatherette interior, and retaining its original matching engine and gearbox — an uncommon combination for this model. Delivered new in Lisbon in June 1973, the car spent time in Angola before returning to Portugal, subsequently competing in the 1979 Rally Portugal Vinho do Porto and winning Group 4 at the 1992 Estoril anniversary event. A comprehensive restoration was completed around 2012, after which the car was featured in the book '50 Years of Porsche in Portugal'.
