Here are a few pictures of my 1975 911 S 2.7.
The car was a US import which arrived in the Uk in December 1989. The UK owner was a complete fanatic and spent a huge amount of money (25K) getting the car to Concours standard. His fanatism probably went too far and there is interesting correspondance in the history file with Bruce Anderson, where the owner questioned Bruces damnation of the 2.7 models "weak engine", and a lovely 5 page reply from Bruce. Funnily relatively shortly after this there is a large bill for an engine rebuild from Bob Watson Bruce was probably right) Also Bob has a picture of my car on his wall!!.
Unfortunately the last two owners have scrimped a bit on the car, but with the detailed history file it has made it easy to assess what needs to be done and in some instances identify running problems that happen several years before. I am slowly working my way through the car fixing and replacing whatever I find.
The car is a narrow rear arch impact bumper car,pretty much the same shell as the 72T, with a very similar weight. with chrome trim. The engine has been built to euro spec, with hyd. tensioners and an aftermarket cooler. A nice touch is the Porsche option Momo steering wheel (designed by F Porsche) which i have not seen elsewhere.
The 74/75 S is quite misunderstood and a rare beast now with most of them being modified into turbos etc. They are extremly underated and pretty impressive performance 0-60 6.1secs. Previously to this I owned a 964 C2 in rubystone which had been modified to RS spec. The 75 is a much more entertaining drive for sure, and as with the early cars gives you immediate feedback as to how accomplished you are as a driver.
I love this 911 and definately there will be no back dating going on here..........well maybe a RSR 2.8. anybody got some piston, barrels and arches?:lol:
Especially now it can show it's face in public with a respectable non Baja Bug ride height! Need to lose the PCGB sticker in the screen though
