Restored, Excellent and thorough history.
The 911 RS does not need an introduction, it has locked its place
in Porsche road and race history with the 911 RS Touring, RS
Lightweight as well as the most rare of the model range, the RSR.
The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 is regarded by many collectors and
journalists as the greatest 911 ever produced having been
manufactured as a direct result of Porsche's racing (RennSport)
program. In the past, Octane magazine summarized the RS as: "the
ultimate iteration of the 'early shape' 911, with its slimline rear
bumper and longer bonnet that curls over the nose, you get the
purest, undiluted 911 style."
Porsche eventually produced 1,580 RS examples made up of cars built
to both 'Touring' specification, offering basic comfort trim and
upholstery, and 'Lightweight' specification. Only 55 in total were
transformed to full RSR racing guise and they went on to dominate
the 1973 European GT Championship with outright wins at the Daytona
24-hours and Targa Florio. And so the 911 RS legend was born.
This 911 RS Touring was delivered with the factory fitted options
of sports seats, headrests, a limited slip differential, Heating
for outside Mirror, Fog lamps, Leather Steering Wheel, Rear Luggage
compartment in place of rear seats, Manual Antenna/4 Speakers,
Additional Rear Apron, Engine compartment Light and Pirelli
tires.

housed with many other Porsches, as well as being maintained
