"Nothing that is desirable comes easily or cheaply and the Carrera RS is no exception, but without question it is one of the great cars of the 1970s; the personification of GT motoring and race breeding." MotorSport magazine, February 1973. Announced in 1972, the lightweight Carrera RS was Porsche's motor sport variant of the perennial 911. Weighing a mere 900kgs dry courtesy of thinner body panels and enjoying a 2.7-litre, flat-six engine tuned for 210bhp on mechanical fuel injection, the Carrera RS raised the 911's performance to new, even more exulted levels. The Carrera RS immediately proved itself a winner in both rallies and circuit races, the resulting demand for this fabulous car proving so great that the intended limited production run of 500 was extended to 1,000 units. Sold new in Germany on 1st April 1973 via Porsche Centre, Stuttgart, this Carrera RS was ordered with the factory fitted options of limited-slip differential, sports seats and ‘Touring’ package – Porsche’s luxury trim for its homologation models. Exported to Hong Kong, in 1992 the car was significantly restored and professionally converted to right-hand drive by German Motors Ltd. of Kowloon at a cost of $122,000. Imported into the UK in 1996 it has seen little use while in the present ownership, covering some 15,000kms between May ‘96 and today. (the total reading on the original odometer being 50,000kms-or-so). Described by the private owner as in good to very good condition in all respects, it is finished in the most appealing colour scheme of Tangerine Orange with black interior and benefits from uprated brakes, suspension and a Scott & Hayward exhaust system. Offered with V5 registration document, MoT and road fund licence to February 2004.
