Posted 3/30/2014: One of several Carrera 2.7 MFI offered over the weekend at Techno Classica in Essen, Germany was a 1974 Carrera MFI painted in its original orange color.
This Carrera was recently partially restored including removing Turbo style flares, repainting in the original color, correcting and refreshing the interior, and reinstalling a ducktail. A few liberties were taken with the restoration including fitting larger 7J and 8J Fuchs, front spoiler, etc.
Rough description from seller:
I'm sending you some pictures of the car that were taken today at the Techno Classica in Essen, Germany. As you can see, I have put the car back to it's original colour of Porsche E7 / 156 orange, removed the turbo wings and had them professionally replaced with genuine Porsche RS rear wings.I have put the car back to it's original colour of Porsche E7 / 156 orange, removed the turbo wings and had them professionally replaced with genuine Porsche RS rear wings.
Following the original options, great care was taken to give the car the originally optioned yellow / chrome fog lamps. The interior was retrimmed in midnight blue pigskin vinyl. For the seat centres, I made the choice to have them trimmed in option 11, which is embossed midnight blue vinyl, instead of the originally fitted tweed/twill centres. The only reason for this deviation is that the Tweed and twill are no longer available.
The certificate from Porsche shows this car was originally optioned with a ducktail, and a correct steel framed ducktail has been sourced and fitted.
The car has been professionally painted outside, inside, underneath, as well as engine compartment and boot. Mechanically, the car has undergone a full rebuild of both the original engine and suspension by Johannes Gruber at Ecurie Vienne, and it really drives like a new car.
The car also comes with the complete owners history from new, listing all the addresses since new.
Offered for €185,000 (approx. $254,000) by a Belgian owner at Techno Classica.
