You can see what a blast we all had in Rally Mallorca. The experience of driving period Porsches in such a stunning location was visceral and commanding a vehicle that the driver (and solely the driver) is in charge of, is an irreplaceable experience that only a few get to enjoy.

You don’t need to get as carried away as we did to enjoy yourself in this way but, having the right car that is welcome at these special events is beneficial. One that no matter where you drive it, makes your local B-road feel like the Rally Sanremo.

…and when it comes to this, our ST Spec’d 1973 911 is the gold standard.

This road racer is actually a 911 S that was converted to ST specification in period and spent much of its life racing in Porsche Club America events over the Atlantic. Since coming into our care, our restoration team has refreshed it and it now sits, refined in its factory delivered shade of Ivory White, waiting for a new owner to make history again. 

This air cooled 911 encapsulates everything that makes driving special. The engagement and feedback is so amazing that a 5 minute drive is enough to permanently alter your perception of what it means to be in control of a vehicle. It’s not a backdate and neither is it a million-dollar garage queen, this is a road racer, just waiting to play, to excite and make your spine tingle.

It’s going to be just right to get to Goodwood, either an event or trackday, travel to overseas events, or with just a few changes, go out and compete again. It’s going to draw a crowd at a cars and coffee event, take you to compete in a hillclimb in Europe, and draw attention wherever you go. Whatever adventure you chose, this could be the right transport! Owning a car like this brings forth opportunities and experiences that are few and far between. You may even end up in Mallorca!

Few people ever get to experience a Porsche like this, only a handful of ST’s were built and the original factory cars warrant eye-watering figures that condemn the cars to a lifetime of museum retirement. What we have here is an ST spec 911 with all the show, go and emotion of those, but without an astronomical price tag.

Life is not a rehearsal, if you have got to the point where owning a Porsche is realistic, we encourage you to take it and make memories. Choose one you adore and don’t be afraid to get into it and enjoy it to the fullest. Here we have the opportunity to enjoy an ST spec 911 that really does represent what it was like to be racing a 911 in the Targa Florio in 1973.
