…. But don’t! https://www.maxted-page.com/car-for-sale/1973-porsche-911-carrera-2-7-rs-lightweight---m471 Amazing story. I admit I would have restored this earlier in my life as a car enthusiast, but wiser heads prevailed.
That is pretty cool! And it sounds like it has been actively used over the last 17 or so years. Looks like about 18k kms since it came out of Beirut.
I love a car with a great story. I saw the McQueen Speedster and 911S last year — nice patina on both. Very cool.
Fantastic, thanks for linking the article. Certainly nice to see accurately restored cars, but am glad there are original cars out there still. There was a guy at the Lime Rock Historics about a dozen years ago that brought a very ratty early 911S to the event. I didn't get to talk to him, but did talk to his friend who told me the guy had a barn full of early old 911s, original "right down to the mouse poop in the footwell". Crazy where the values for first-paint cars have gone, but as they say, it's only original once!
