‘Ultimate’ 911 2.4 S Hits the Auction Block
Restored 1973 911 2.4 S has an extensive history and its certificate of authenticity.
Nearly a decade after the 911 first arrived in showrooms, Porsche decided to give the burgeoning icon a bigger engine in the back, the second increase at the time. Thus was born the 911 2.4 S, which carried a 2.4-liter flat-six paired with the 915 five-speed manual to deliver 190 horses to the rear wheels.
Just the other day, we happened upon this outstanding, impeccably restored 1973 911 2.4 S for offer in Europe via Gerardo & Co. , and it is, as the broker says, “the ultimate 911 2.4 S.”
This 911 2.4 S in Gemini Blue over black left Stuttgart for Italy in October 1972, finding its first owner three months later, registered in Modena January 2, 1973. It stayed with its owner for 13 years before spending another 14 years with a second owner in Italy, then moved to its current home in London in late 2000.
The black leather interior of the 911 2.4 S came with a pair of Recaro buckets with head rests, as well as a heated and tinted windscreen. And of course, access to the power of the 2.4-liter tucked away in the back.
The 2.4-liter is original to the 911 2.4 S, and was partially rebuilt in 2014 to keep it in tip-top shape. The bodywork recently had some work done to remove body corrosion, and was repainted in its original shade in 2006.
The 911 2.4 S has plenty of documentation covering the 45-plus years of its life, as well as its certificate of authenticity and certificate of conformity from Porsche. May this “ultimate 911 2.4 S” see its 90th birthday.
