1973 Porsche 911S Sportomatic Coupe – Chassis number 9113301311, Engine number 6339132 (numbers match) registered October 1973 and delivered via Hexagon of Highgate, London, to its first owner, and then subsequently owned by its second owner for 28 years, staying within the London area all its life.
Fresh from a two year restoration by Tech 9, in excess of 1000 hours totalled
Complete with Porsche Certificate of Authenticity that confirms all details are correct.
One of 58 UK RHD Coupe delivered in 1973, and one of six cars optioned in the 70’s colour described by the factory as ‘Fleider’ (Lilac), but rebranded in the UK as ‘Royal Purple’ – documented as one of the last five UK 911 S Coupe’s registered in the UK, being a very late ’73 (produced in June ’73)
Verified by Porsche Club GB, as one of only two ! Sportomatic 73S models, and is considered the only current survivor that is known to be registered currently – A truly unique vehicle
Being a late example it also benefits from the ‘7R’ engine cases, rare to find on a 2.4, as used on the 2.7RS models.
Original factory delivery options of
M650 Sunroof
Rear wiper
Electric windows

103,000 documented miles only, engine fully dismantled and rebuilt.

The vehicle retains all its original parts, thus keeping the DNA intact of such an important RHD early S. The wheels all matching date stamped , the engine cases are the rare 7R version which were the stronger case used in the late 2.4S production, numbers match engine, all original intake system includes the correct 013 pump, intake stacks and all other period correct parts. The interior, steering wheel, instruments and super-rare double locking Sports Recaro seats. We decided to replace the carpets, as they were looking a bit scruffy, but the original carpets have been retained to store with the car. Even the original soundproofing material remains on the floors intact.
The original service book stamped by Hexagon of Highgate, London, presented in its correct maroon service document folder. Original toolkit, jack and compressor complete the often lost detail pieces.
The engine was completely dismantled and rebuilt with all new consumable parts. It was also decided to complete the rebuild by using a new set of original Mahle Pistons and cylinders. Since the comprehensive rebuild, the vehicle has covered less than 500 miles, and drives beautifully.
The original Sportomatic gearbox, and all other associated parts (mostly unique to the S model) have been restored and the performance is stunning . The flexibility of the engine and ratios compliment each other perfectly - the vehicle can be driven from standstill to 80mph in one gear !, fabulous for country lane spirited driving !
The condition and originality of this vehicle is testament to the care and attention by its former keepers. It’s rare to find such a highly original car, that retains its DNA and patina that cannot be replicated when project vehicles and partly stripped vehicles are ‘restored’ for resale, this car represents the pinnacle of the pre-73 models
It is thought that the number of UK RHD 2.4S models that remain in existence are in the low ‘teens, this vehicle represents an important piece of UK Porsche history and will continue as an appreciating asset in future years, especially as it remains the only RHD Sportomatic 2.4S in existence.
