With Porsche celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 911 this year, it’s fitting that specialist classic car auctioneer, Historics at Brooklands, has assembled a vibrant nine-strong showcase of the air-cooled marque, from 1970 to 1991, for its forthcoming sale at Brooklands Museum on August 31. Vigorous bidding at the last quarterly sales saw a clean sweep of nine of the Stuttgart marque finding new owners. Then, as now, Historics’ very own Porsche parade included models which have been meticulously-restored and exquisitely presented in the guise of the most special of 911s to many a purist – the 1973 2.7RS.
Illustrating the point, Historics is offering three such models at its August 31st auction, including a brace of 1984/1985 3.2 litre Carreras (one to 1973 RS Martini specification) estimated at £26,000-£32,000, and a 1991 3.6 litre Carrera 2 (Est £28,000-£35,000), all faithfully presented with the distinctive 2.7RS look.
