Vehicle Description
This 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS, VIN 9113601364, was completed at
the factory in May 1973. The build specification called for Light
Yellow paint a black leatherette interior, sport seats left and
right, a manual antenna (left) with a front loudspeaker and noise
suppression and Dunlop Tires. The Certificate of Authenticity on
file also lists an additional rear apron (muffler skirt), but since
this option isn't listed on the Kardex or in either of Dr.
Konradsheim books, we assume the COA has a minor mistake.
Shortly after being completed (June 1973), it was sold to its first
owner, Dr. Heisse & Co. of Germany. In September 1976, Heisse sold
it to Fa. Herbert Hildebrandt who sold it to Kurt Hermann in
February 1978. Hermann sold it later that year to Rolf Zander who
owned it until October 1979 when it was sold to Wolf-Hendrick
Unger.
Hendrick Unger has a longstanding history with Porsche and
motorsports. He contested many marathon rallies in the 1980s
including contesting Paris-Dakar Rallye twice in Porsche 959s.
During his ownership of this car, which lasted well through the
1980s, he drove it as a support vehicle to Jurgen Barth and Roland
Kussmaul in the 1982 Monte Carlo Rallye. Barth and Kussmaul
finished 10th overall and 2nd in Group B behind a 911 SC. Amazingly
the credentials and livery from that race are still with the car
today. We have three magnets, one metal plate, and both front and
rear license plates. They are in exceptionally well-preserved
condition.
In August of 1988, the car was sold to a Japanese collector who
imported it to Japan and did what any self-respecting Japanese RS
owner would do, he had it painted white. Over the next twenty
years, it remained in the same collection and was serviced by the
local dealer. In 2008, the Japanese collector sold it Gregor Fisken
of London and back to Europe the car went. After arriving at
Fiskens, it was sent to European Porsche specialists, Maxted Paige
and Prill, for a major service. While in their care (2008), a buyer
was found and the car was quickly sold to their German client. In
2010 the German Client (Classic Motors GMBH) sold it via Coys to a
Canadian who would own the car until it was sold to European
Collectibles in 2019. This owner, a well-known Porsche collector,
imported it to Canada in 2010 and left the car in its Grand Prix
White/Blue livery until 2013 when a full nut and bolt restoration
commenced. The stunning work that brought the car to the condition
it is in today was performed by Jakobs who are well-respected "High
Performance Porsche Repair Specialists." From 2013 until 2015,
every nut and bolt was restored or replaced as needed and all
mechanical systems were completely rebuilt. We have over fifty
pages of detailed invoices for the work performed by Jakobs, and
the total cost was $196,693 CDN (equal to USD 185,650 using an
average conversion rate for 2013/2014).
This is a beautifully restored 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS that is
finished in its original color combination of Light Yellow with a
black leatherette interior. It retains its original matching
numbers engine, verified body number, and is complete with all
options initially delivered. It has a thick binder that documents
its entire life via an original German Fahrzeugbrief, import/export
documents, Japanese records, restoration photos, restoration
invoices, COA from Porsche and Porsche Kardex.
