1981 PORSCHE 911

Here’s a stunning 1981 Porsche 911SC, finished in the very rare Arrow Blue with Fuchs alloy wheels. It really is eye-catching and in lovely, as-original condition.

The interior is blue leatherette with blue/black Berber seats, and is also very tidy. It has a sunroof, a modern Kenwood radio head unit with Bluetooth connectivity, plus a Laserline remote locking and alarm system.

The Porsche comes with a well-documented history, with two stamped service books plus a large folder of paperwork, which goes right back to a 1984 sales invoice when it was with official Porsche dealer Malaya Garage in West Sussex. We sold the car to the last owner (and only the fifth) in 2019 and have maintained it for him every year since. In 2024, the car had over £8,000 of work carried out, including attending to paintwork issues, a service, and fitting a new alternator. In January 2026, the Porsche was treated to a major service, including spark plugs and brake fluid, so it’s all ready for the new owner to enjoy.

Introduced in 1978, the 911SC became the only normally aspirated 911 in Porsche's range, after the confusing range of models offered the previous few years. The SC was a development of the Carrera 3.0 that preceded it and kept broadly the same mechanics and bodyshell. The 3.0-litre engine was basically unchanged, albeit with an aluminium rather than magnesium crankcase. At first, the power output was 180bhp, but this increased to 204bhp in 1980, thanks to revised fuel injection, camshaft timing and an increased compression ratio. For some time, the SC lived in the shadow of the later Carrera 3.2, but it has now become a sought-after classic 911, thanks to its relative rarity and its lively, free-revving engine.
