911 3.0SC Lightweight. First registered 15/10/1982 and supplied new by Swinford Motors who were the official Stourbridge Porsche Dealer at the time. Finished in Pale Ivory, a most unique and exceptionally well-presented car. Commissioned by a genuine enthusiast with the build executed to absolute perfection creating one of the most special 911’s we’ve had the pleasure of driving. Weighing in at approx. 1000Kg the car is structurally, mechanically and cosmetically delightful. A concept and a project oft attempted but rarely to this standard with costs including parts and associated labour approaching £100,000.

Supplied with a highly detailed and invoice-supported service history incorporating x2 service books (the original one being fully stamped), copious receipts and magazine articles showcasing the car. The focus here has been on absolute quality and craftsmanship with seemingly little or no regard for cost.

Not an exhaustive list but it certainly paints a picture. Despite much having been done the car is so much more than the sum total of its parts. Rarely is a 911 of this vintage so agile and capable. The ultimate sense of theatre. Up there with our favourite cars over the past three decades. It’s that good. Think mindblowing then ramp it up a notch. Images to follow.
