This low-mileage Porsche 911S was built on 1st November 1974 having been ordered by Volkswagen of America. Originally finished in Sahara Beige (its present colour), the car comes with a copy of its original dealer order form showing that it was specified with forged alloy wheels, aluminium rocker panels and fender trim, Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, air conditioner, and fog lights. The 911S was delivered via Leroy Cannon Porsche Audi (stamp in service book) and first owned by one David Nathan Denison of North Carolina, who kept it from July 1975 to December 1976. Second owner Robert John Thompson of Greenville, South Carolina enjoyed the Porsche from January 1977 until 2012 when it passed to Wolfgang Zerth of Berlin, Germany, who owned it from September 2012 to January 2015. The current registered keeper acquired the car in February 2015.

A TüV inspection was carried out in Germany on 20th September 2012, which was followed on 15th October 2012 by a full re-commissioning service undertaken by Lundt Auto GmbH. Detailed in the four-page invoice on file, these works included European specification modifications, cleaning the fuel tank, and renewing the fuel pump, injectors, fuel filter, fuel hoses, rubber seals, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, plug leads, brake pipes, brake fluid, oil and filter, anti-roll bar bushes, shock absorbers, battery, tyres, etc.

Having changed hands, the Porsche was MoT'd in the UK on 28th April 2015 (certificate on file) and registered in this country as 'FRN 426M'. Documentation on file records that the original Fuchs wheels had been exchanged for the later 'cookie cutter' type in July 1975, and on 20th July 2015 a set of Fuchs wheels (supplied by DF Classic of Dusseldorf, Germany) was fitted as per the original factory specification (invoice on file). Four new Pirelli P6000 N2 Porsche-rated tyres were fitted on 31st August 2015, while on 16th September 2015 the car was serviced by Porsche Centre Tewkesbury using genuine Porsche Classic engine oil, gearbox oil, brake fluid, etc. Invoices for the foregoing are on file together with a (copy) State of South Carolina Certificate of Title (1977), various other documents, current MoT, and a V5C Registration Certificate.

Presented in 'like new' condition, this quite exceptional Porsche 911S comes complete with its original owner's wallet containing the instruction manual and service booklet; its original data card, dealer invoice and associated paperwork; and the original tool kit.
