What's one of these!?

[jb9193]

I don't know if this is interesting/rare/special etc, so forgive me if it isn't, but which 911 variant is this?
I'm not very knowledgeable about old cars, but I thought it looked cool.




Thanks!

Im no expert, far from it, but that looks like an early turbo, with a different front bumper on it.

What he said. Bonnet looks bent too so perhaps a minor frontal and a cheap repair?

[kambites]

It appears to be a 930 turbo with a strange bumper and really rubbish shut-lines.

Isn't it a RUF front bumper, sure I've seen it before.

[jb9193]

Hmm the plate is just showing as a White Porsche 911 registered in 1973, if that helps!
Googled 930 and it does look like one, but just slightly different as you guys say

[Pints]

Looks very much like a Porsche.

HTH

1973 2.4 according to DVLA.

[jb9193]

So everyone agreed it's a 930 Turbo with a weird bumper?

PORSCHE 911 T LUX 2341


its a 911 with a load of st bodywork thrown at it.

[fatboy69]

I reckon its a 911SC, or something similar, with Turbo bodywork. It juts doesnt look 'right' hence i dont think it is a 930 Turbo.

I might be wrong though.

turbo wasn't until '75 and thats '73 so its 2.4 NA engine. Wings mirrors and tail spoiler off a later car, bumpers look like after market with the front being closes to a 70's carrera RSR. Rear arches off a later (wider) car. Probly be worth more in its original bodywork these days.

No - if Turbo it would be 3.0 or 3.3.

+1

That example is worth less than the fuel in the tank.

Taken from http://www.cars.4sole.ru/ - the only picture I could find that looks similar.

Porsche 911 2.7, 3.0 and 3.2 ("Porsche 911 2.7" "3.0" and "3.2") 1973-1989

This series of machines open the base model 911, the most popular was "911S", and most sports - "Carrera SC" and "Carrera RS". Since mid-1975 base model has Carrera with a 3-liter engine. The appearance of the summer 1978 model "928" resulted in a further streamlining of the series: up to 1983 produced a model "911SC" with a 3-liter engine, after 1983 the car received a 3.2-liter engine, the newly named Carrera.



Great efforts had to make for maximum ease Carrera. As a result, the proper mass version of "RS" amounted to 908 kg. In the presence of wide tires and stiff anti-roll bars the machine could take turns with a lateral acceleration of 0.912 g

From the sounds of things, it's not that special then lol

[TheMoron]

Ugly I'd say

It's trying to be a Porsche 930 also known as the 911 Turbo.

In reality it is at best an earlier Porsche that's been made to look like a later turbo. At worst it might be a Covin replica.

Whatever it is, it's bloody horrible.

This is a proper one on the left. The car on the right is an example of what the DVLA has the car registered as (or similar to it):

Ahh what a let down this thread turned out to be then!
