Description A ‘modern classic’ if ever there was one, Porsche’s long-running 911 arrived in 1964, replacing the 356 that had secured the fledgling company’s reputation as a producer of some the world’s finest sporting cars. The iconic 911 would take this reputation to an even more exulted level on both the road and racetrack. The first of countless upgrades came in 1966 with the introduction of the 911S. Easily distinguishable by its stylish Fuchs alloy wheels, the ‘S’ featured a heavily revised engine producing 160bhp, the increased power raised the top speed by 10mph to 135mph. A lengthened wheelbase was introduced in 1969 improving the 911’s sometimes wayward handling, and then in 1970 the engine underwent the first of many enlargements increasing capacity to 2.2 litres. At this time the top-of-the-range ‘S’ model utilised Bosch Mechanical fuel injection and produced an impressive 180bhp. All 911 variants received the 2.4-litre unit for 1972, by which time the 911S featured the stronger Type 915 five-speed gearbox and 6”x15” alloy wheels as standard. Not sold in the USA, the 911S produced 190bhp, some 40 horsepower more than was on offer to American customers. The most obvious external change from the 2.2-litre models was the addition of a small chin spoiler, adopted to improve high-speed stability. Porsche had built 1,430 2.4-litre 911S coupés by the time production switched to the 2.7-litre model for 1974. The ‘2.7’ was the first 911 to incorporate the large impact-absorbing bumpers, disliked by many purists for whom the ‘2.4’ is the last ‘old school’ 911 and therefor all the more collectible. This wonderful example of a Porsche 911 S 2.4 Coupè was originally registered in Treviso and is offered for sale with its Italian papers and mainentance book. It has never been restored and is finished in a stunning Aubergine colour (025-9-1) and benefits from having Recaro seats. It is equipped with the original 2.4 S engine (633618). With only 80,000 kms on the clock, this has to be one of the best examples of the 911 S 2.4 Coupè currently on the market. It is described as being in good condition and represents an opportunity to aqcuire one of the most iconic sports cars of the ‘70s.
