Rare RHD – 1969 Porsche 911S Coupe


From a production date of April 1969, this B Series, 911 S Coupe is originally manufactured to United Kingdom specification and as such is Right Hand Drive, from a production year of 1,492 vehicles it is believed less than 30 came to the UK, with little more than 10 UK specification models still in roadworthy existence. It is shown in its original, most desirable, Colour/Code 6802 (Polo Red), and the car clearly has been altered to replicate 1972/73 models, but the basic fundamentals of the body remain intact. Admittedly the interior, although practical but not original, is believed to be from a later 1974/75 model but not unreasonably difficult to revert back to the correct year/model specification. The Certificate of Authenticity shows the car was originally supplied to the United Kingdom (believed, Porsche Isleworth), the vehicle was supplied with options: Head Rest on Left Seat, Rear Wiper (not showing, but shows existence of a wiring loom on the rear engine hood), and Erased Steering Hub.

This car is offered to require bodywork restoration from surface rusting, the vehicle’s original Matching Number engine (6391410), and Transmission 7195693 were supplied with the vehicle from new. Today the vehicle is offered with an engine/transmission combination from a European, 1972 911T (non fuel injection). It is noted that the car has invoices for close to £20,000 relating to engine rebuilding, carburettor change to a triple Weber setup from this engine type (Tin) Zenith, and drivetrain works all within the last 3,000 miles, although this does relate to over 7 years. The current wheels are fuchs dated 9/71 with the inserts and rears repainted black.

Amazing TR6 – V6 Chevy Powered

This classic TR6 although original in appearance has been transformed with an uprated modern Chevrolet V6, 3.4L fuel injection engine, coupled to an IROC T5 World Class Transmission, through to a Nissan R200 / 4.10 ratio rear Differential, the cooling system is through an early Mustang radiator. The car has been rewired with new fuse set, both Suspension and Brakes are uprated (Disc brakes all round), there is variable electric power steering leading to 17″ Minilite alloy wheels.

Fundamentally the vehicle has a larger throttle barrel, enlarged fuel pump, enlarged ported air flow throughout. The ECU has been rewritten to keep the standard size injectors but gives a longer fuel pulse to supply more fuel on demand, the OBU diagnostics remains with plug-in socket for fault finding. The dashboard and steering have been remade/replaced to keep the original wooden design on newer electronic Dolphin dial sets.

We believe the car offers reasonable fuel consumption, offering around 220 horsepower at the flywheel and around 210 horsepower at the wheels, although not dyno tested. An emission certificate and recorded register are held from testing and registration in Canada (point of build and steering conversion to RHD). The vehicle shows a recorded mileage of under 1500 miles since body off restoration and engine conversion of which just under 1000 miles were in testing and vehicle set up. The build was from Bill Sinclair and Dave Renner, of British Restorations and Sinner Performance, with influence from Richard Good Motorsports. Needless to say a huge spend: thought and time has gone into this car.
