This manual-transmission 2.7-litre Porsche 911S Coupé was sold new to Mr Kerry Bahl on 21st May 1977 through Carlson Porsche of Palo Alto, California, and has the exhaust re-circulation anti-smog device fitted to Californian models of this period. Remarkably, the car remained with this same owner until 2013, by which time its odometer displayed just 3,700 miles. According to the pre-owner, the car was used sparingly to trips to the local golf club over Mr Bahl's 37 year ownership. The file contains the original validated registration cards in Mr Bahl's name for every year from 1977 to 2009, and is offered with the original service books.

Porsche Club California stickers show 25 years and 35 years respectively.
The original US-specification headlights and all indicators are included in the sale, and the car also comes with a tailored dust cover. The car even comes with its original date-marked tyres!

In 2014, at 3,700 miles, the Porsche was imported into Europe by a well-known European dealer, as evidenced by the accompanying purchase invoice from Mr Bahl (Certificat d'Acquisition on file). Sold to a collector in the South of France, the car was imported into the UK in January 2018 and sold to the last preowner by one of the leading UK Porsche experts JMZ Porsche in August of that year. The car was re-commissioned and sold to him with a 12-month warranty. JZM also carried out a comprehensive paint thickness survey, which determined that all paint was original, and no panels had been resprayed. This we have done, too, and it's still untouched without any respray. Especially remarkable is the fact, that the original paint has still the same shine like new without any scratch!

There are bills on file for JZM's servicing in 2018 totalling over £5,000. The sales invoice and subsequent service work states from JZM's that the car is a 'Totally Original, Un-restored Survivor Example'.
The odometer reading is now 4,300 miles, the condition substantiates the mileage only and the car must be seen to be appreciated. Presented in exceptional condition, this exceptionally original Porsche 911S must be one of the most original of its type still in existence. In all details you find the car like new but full in original parts.

UNIQUE CAR!
