It was a lefthand drive home market car supplied to its first owner via the Porsche Centre in Dsseldorf. This 911 was imported into the UK by Classic Cars of Bridlington on 11th October 1982 and initially purchased by D. Carmichael. In 1983 the car was retrimmed in pale blue leatherette with grey herringbone cloth inserts. He retained ownership until 1989 and later that year it was acquired by our vendor, who enjoyed the car for the next 37 years. Following its acquisition, the Porsche was stored for a period before undergoing a comprehensive restoration programme. Between 1996 and 2009, the car was restored, including stripping and shotblasting the body, fitting new door closing panels and sills, and replacing the front and rear bumpers. The car was subsequently repainted in a stunning shade of Arden Blue. It was returned to the road and MOTd on 28th May 2009, at which point the recorded mileage stood at 141,431 kilometres. Mechanical works carried out during and following the restoration included inspection of the timing chains, with modified tensioners already fitted and understood to be serviceable, installation of a new oil tank, stainlesssteel heat exchangers and silencer, and a new clutch. The transmission was overhauled by Club Autosport, with synchromesh components and bearings renewed. The braking system was serviced, with calipers reseated and hoses, pipes and the handbrake cable replaced. Suspension work included four new shock absorbers, replacement lower front ball joints and modified track rods. Further maintenance carried out in 2014, at approximately 151,412 kilometres, included stripping and rebushing the carburettor bodies using overhaul kits, fitting electronic ignition and subsequent tuning on a rolling road. The odometer indicated 179,253 kilometres (111,383 miles) at the time of cataloguing and the car is accompanied by a history file dating back to its UK importation in 1982. This early 911T from 37 years ownership, has benefited from much work during current ownership but it's also been extensively used, including being driven to and from the Le Mans 24 Hours and Le Mans Classic events on 12 occasions, now that's confidence. Sensibly guided, we encourage your inspection at our Race Retro Collector Car Sale.
