Description
1981 Porsche 911 SC
Low owner example LHD
recently imported with desirable wide arches akin to a Turbo;
recent recommissioning works including glass-out bare-metal respray -
a real eyeful!
Dating from 1981 this 911 SC screams
80’s Nirvana with its wide arches, Guards Red paintwork, whale-tail, BBS gold
alloy wheels and black leather interior– it couldn’t be sexier.
A useful
online Vin de-coder reads the 17-digit chassis number
‘WPOZZZ91ZBS120109’ in the following manner, which helps to shed a little light
on the car’s origin – W built in Germany (West Germany until ’89),
P Porsche, O Sports Car, ZZZ European Model (suggesting
that this was a European import to the USA), 91 911 model, Z
market - Europe, B built 1981, S made in
Stuttgart, 1 911 model and 20109 the serial/production
number.
Imported from the States in need of restoration, the car has been
subject to a glass-out bare-metal respray and recommissioning by West Wales
specialist restoration shop to the lovely state you see today.
While
undergoing the work, its sonorous 3.0-litre flat-six engine was serviced, the
wheels refurbished, the glass seals renewed, the interior completely re-carpeted
including under the bonnet, new brakes fitted, new sunroof mechanism installed
and a new headlining fitted.
The car looks and sounds mean with its Turbo
style wide arches (fibreglass), big rear wing, Turbo badging and lowered stance
with those big deep-dish polished lip X-spoke BBS alloy wheels wearing new
Bridgestone Potenza tyres.
Within the history file, we find the V5C
showing the sole UK owner, registration application docs, receipt for purchase
from California from the Beverly Hills Car Club Inc who sold it as a ‘911 SC
Turbo look Coupe’ dated July 2020, copy US Title showing the car to have been an
Orlando, Florida registered car with what looks like just 2 American owners, the
last since 1990 at 51,000 miles who took ownership in 1988 and then sold it to
the Beverly Hills Car Club inc some 33 years later in 2020 and a host of
invoices relating to the recent works undertaken for its
recommissioning.
Invoices include powder coating for the wheels, Guards
Red paint, wheel bearing, prep materials, seals, hub-centric wheel spacers,
carpet sets, window mouldings, hoses, badges, brake calliper, engine service kit
parts, brake pipes, bulbs, belts, relays, leather treatment, lenses, wheel
centre badges, gaskets, new battery, door check strap and blower motor
assembly.
There are also a few bills from its time in the States for
servicing dated 1988. The car has not been MOT’d given its now exempt. We did
note the mileage indicated is 024,490 – suggesting the car may have had a speedo
change at some point given it was recorded with 51,000 miles on in 1990 on the
U.S Title document.
If you want to look like a Boss then this could be
the car for you, freshly recommissioned and re-sprayed its ready to be enjoyed
and turn some heads. Given the way air-cooled 911s have rocketed in price, this
could prove to be a shrewd investment.
