If you purchase a vehicle in a different country to your own, it may be subject to local duties, sales taxes, or environmental levies when imported. You may find this introductory guide helpful, and our team is also here to help. However, you must investigate any duties or taxes that may be due on top of the purchase price before committing to buy. KEY FACTS This Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS is a highly sought-after and iconic homologation special, presented in Touring specification and benefitting from significant recent mechanical maintenance. It is powered by a 2.7-litre naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six, driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that it is a matching-numbers example, confirmed by the Porsche ‘birth certificate’. First registered in 1973, this example is now located in Germany. The odometer indicates 63,879 km, though this is not warranted. The seller indicates a believed total mileage of 263,879 km, referencing previous restorations. This example is one of just 1,580 examples built, and is particularly desirable as one of the initial 500 cars built, commonly known as the ‘first series’ model. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This 911 Carrera 2.7 RS is a Touring variant, which retained more comfort-related features over the standard RS model, including full carpeting, soundproofing, and standard door cards with storage compartments. It is finished in Grand Prix White with contrasting red ‘Carrera’ side stripes, over a black leatherette and corduroy cloth-trimmed interior, featuring red seat belts and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 15-inch Fuchs alloy wheels finished in gloss red with silver lips and centre caps, fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Equipment includes a ‘ducktail’ rear spoiler, a four-spoke steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, a Becker Europa radio, a stopwatch, and push-out rear quarter light windows.
