Porsche 911 S 2.7 LHD manual coupe 1976

911 like this are few and far between.

These ‘mid year’ cars perfectly capture the classic Porsche spirit, and are becoming ever more desirable amongst collectors worldwide.

Offering a unique soundtrack and lively performance from the magnesium 2.7, coupled with an elegant narrow-body and great chrome detailing, it appeals on so many levels.

Purchased directly from the US by Adrian Crawford late in 2015 as a car for himself, it had everything going for it; low owners, low mileage and in largely original, accident and corrosion free condition.

On inspection, this 911 does not disappoint.

The Oak green metallic paintwork is in great condition, the light patina consistent with 47 years of care and polish.

The chromework, including the factory fitted ‘Option 418’ trim around the wheel arches, is in exceptional condition; it looks brand new.

Original spec 15 inch ‘Cookie Cutter’ ATS alloy wheels, currently fitted with Toyo tyres (new in August 2022.)

The Cork coloured interior is a great contrast to the dark green exterior. Everything appears in lovely original condition; the dashboard is crack-free, there’s no obvious wear and tear to the switches and knobs and the instrument dials are crystal clear.

Tidy carpets and headlining, with a functioning electric sunroof. The front seats are great, having been recovered some years ago.

The 2.7 litre air cooled 6 cylinder is the ‘US 49 State’ type 911/82, and is believed to be the original, as is the 5 speed gearbox.

First registered in 1976, the story of this 911 S suggests it spent most of its life in Nebraska. The second owner purchased it late in 1979 with 28,356 miles recorded. He kept it for over 30 years, but covered very few miles.

It was recommissioned following a period of inactivity, the clutch was renewed and the fuel system refurbished. A third keeper then sold it to Adrian in 2015 (at 40,500 miles), with his friend taking over the reins in 2017. The odometer now reads 43,027 miles.

Many 911 of this era will have been restored, rebuilt and repainted, but this one is different. And you notice it on the road; it drives as well as it looks.
