Characteristic features of the car include Fuchs alloy wheels, distinctive fibreglass front bumper and iconic ducktail spoiler. The powerful 2.7 litre engine with Bosch mechanical fuel injection, Type 915 five-speed manual transaxle, powerful four-wheel disc brakes and fully independent suspension provide the driver with a car that offers brilliant acceleration (0-60 in 5.5 seconds) and a maximum speed of 149 mph with excellent stability and road manners. In view of its rarity and value, the car was retired from rally use in July 2017 and treated to a full body restoration. The works were undertaken by multiple-award winning Porsche Approved body shop, Premier Panels Skills. 'This incredible car comes to market for the first time in 22 years and is ready to begin the next chapter of its life. This could be as a potential candidate for another classic rally where it has been so successful in the past, or simply to grace the lawns of a country house at a Classic Concours d'Elegance,' concludes Adam. The car is supplied with a host of photographs recording the works carried out by Premier Panels Skills, along with substantial invoices, countless magazines articles, old FIVA rally card, photo albums and a UK V5c. The car is also accompanied by a collection of silverware awarded at numerous Concours events.
