182 | THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL SALE
The odometer was reset at time of restoration and currently displays a
total of only 1, 57 kilometres (approximately 1,154 miles).0t should be noted that the accompanying Porsche Certificate of
Authenticity states that the interior was originally black leatherette with
standard seats, but it has now been upgraded to the more comfortable
and attractive sport seats, freshly re-trimmed in black leather. This is the
only deviation from the cars original specifications, highlight of which
include Sepia Brown paintwork, electric windows, tinted glass, Koni
shock absorbers and an 85-litre fuel tank. The Becker Europa radio has
been fully restored, incorporating an auto-switching iPod connection,
and the car also comes with a pair through-grille driving lamps (with
yellow lenses).Although there is relatively little paperwork relating to works carried out in
France prior to the car being imported to the <K, this is more than made
up for by Peter Morgans very comprehensive inspection report and the
further detailed inspection and paperwork from Autofarm, which between
them document every aspect of the car, illustrated with photographs at
all stages (see history file).This left-hand drive 2.4-litre Porsche 911S was delivered new to Paris,
France and remained in that country until 2014. The second owner had
sold it in November 2009 to specialist Porsche restorer Special Auto in
Paris, who carried out a 'last nut and bolt' restoration over the next few
years. The car was then marketed for sale on behalf of Special Auto
by classic Porsche dealer Automobilia in Reims, from whom the third
owner purchased it in June 2014. A copy of the French Carte Grise and
documents showing each transfer of ownership are in the history file.
<pon arrival in the <K in June 2014, the car was inspected by the
respected classic Porsche expert Peter Morgan, whose detailed report is
on file together with large collection of photographs. 0t was then delivered
to Autofarm for a further inspection. Between Peter Morgan and Autofarm,
all significant faults or deviations from authenticity were uncovered.
Autofarm were immediately instructed to carry out whatever remedial work
was necessary to ensure the car is to the correct original specification
and fault-free (invoices detailing all of this work are in the history file). At
the conclusion of the work at Autofarm in Autumn 2014, the underside
was thoroughly protected against corrosion with clear Waxoyl, and the car
professionally detailed inside and out. We are advised that the paintwork is
Åawless and machine-polished to perfection.
