- Engine
- 2.7L air-cooled flat-six, Bosch mechanical fuel injection, 210 bhp
- Colour
- Light yellow
A 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI in European specification, retaining the 210 bhp mechanically fuel-injected flat-six from the legendary 1973 Carrera RS rather than the detuned U.S.-market unit. Delivered new to a dealer in Verona in November 1973 and first registered in Modena, the car has remained in Italy throughout its life, passing through five Italian owners before its acquisition in 1988. Never fully restored, it retains its original interior, Fuchs wheels, and engine compartment paint, with outer panels repainted in the matching light yellow in 1989.
