Porsche 911 SC – RS Tribute

Delivered new in November 1980, this model year 1981* Porsche 911 SC, is an early final iteration of the 911 SC. Benefitting from the more powerful 3.0 Litre engine delivering 204 BHP, the car was delivered new through Lancaster Garages Ltd in Colchester, Essex with the first owner based in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire.

Some two years later the Porsche 911 SC had changed hands to the second owner moving to Ashtead, Surrey having covered some 8,708 miles in just under 2 years. The second owner held the 911 SC from 1982 until 1986 covering roughly 17,500 miles during his tenure, the car was then sold again in 1986.

The second owner appeared to not hold the car for an extended period of time, with the Porsche 911 SC being under the ownership of Mr. Neville. Mr. Neville appeared to hold ownership for the car until at least 2006 with numerous receipts for work undertaken. Work included general maintenance and servicing as well as general repairs. Mr. Neville covered the majority of the miles in the Porsche 911 SC and around the time of him passing the car on, the mileage showed 101,245 miles supported by various MoT certificates and receipts.

Covering a meagre 3,000 / 4,000 miles between 2006 and 2013 the car was used sparingly. It is believed to be in c.2013 that the 911 SC was backdated to echo that evocative look of the 1970s Porsche 2.7 RS. With extended wings and bonnet fitted in metal and the boot lid and bumpers replaced with lightweight fibreglass by its then Leeds based owner. The Porsche 911 SC RS Tribute was then sold to fund the deposit on a house.

It was in 2015 that the Porsche 911 SC RS Tribute was purchased by the current owner. Who has ensured the Porsche has remained in the best possible mechanical condition regardless of cost. With receipts on file for in excess of £8,000 expenditure, including a full rebuild of the oil cooler, all associated ancillaries, rebuilt callipers and full overhaul of the 5-speed gearbox.
