Following the success of the 1973 Carrera RS model, the Carrera
name continued on Porsche's top-of-the-range model, and a limited
number of high-performance Carreras emerged from 1974-1976 for
European/ROW markets. These "Euro Carreras" as they came to be
known retained the legendary Type 911/83 2.7-liter, 210bhp engine
with Bosch mechanical fuel injection (MFI) - the same engine as
fitted to the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 homologation special.
They had the benefit of being offered in the fully trimmed new
style 911 body shell, with a specification more akin to the M472
'Touring' designation of more opulently equipped 1973 RS's. In
total, 1,633 Euro-spec MFI Carrera coupes were built during this
limited run - total production figures just slightly higher than
the original 1,582 1973 Carrera RS Coupes.
9114600945 was sequentially the 934th of just 1,011 examples built
for the 1974 model-year.
91st to last produced - completed under a special wish order issued
in May of 1974.
The original order was placed by Mitsuwa Motors, the official
Porsche Distributer and main Service Center for Porsche in Japan.
Delivery took place in June of 1974 and the car was road-registered
later that month on Japanese plates "330 911"
The original order requested a ROW (Rest of World Market), European
version Carrera 2.7 MFI with left-hand drive steering. The order
further specified the exterior color of Silver Metallic with
negative Carrera graphics and the headliner to be black with
cloth-inserted sport seats, both left and right. Because it was
built so late in the production run, this Carrera 2.7 MFI was
delivered new with the 'whale tail' rear spoiler, rather than the
previous year's 'duck tail' spoiler.
A long list of options was ordered, and it was specifically
requested that no sunroof would be fitted. Among the options were
Japanese market equipment with 300km/h speedometer, power windows
and sideview mirror, air-conditioning, Koni shock absorbers instead
of Boge, fog lights and Dunlop tires. With these many individual
options, this is by far one of the most lavishly equipped examples
completed.

The Porsche remained carefully conserved for what is believed to
have been single individual ownership for more than 40 years,
before entering the U.S. in 2015. The car has since been treated to
a comprehensive cosmetic restoration, followed by a 2021 extensive
mechanical restoration.
2021 restorative efforts included new Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires,
Koni shocks, brake and transmission flush, as well as a complete
engine reseal. This addressed all new gaskets, bearings, studs,
seals and rings - along with all new associated consumables and
auxiliary equipment. The engine block received engine stud work by
Protomotive, new throttle bodies by TRE Motorsports, cylinder head
refreshment by H Squared Racing, fuel injection work by Injector
RX, engine tin restoration by Cutting Edge Powdercoating, with
final assembly and installation by DriverSource.
