SUMMARY

A beautiful California-supplied 911 SC in Chiffon White with lots of recent expenditure.

DESCRIPTION

  • Introduced in 1978, the 911 SC was powered by a 180bhp, 3-litre flat-six with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection and a 5-speed (915) transmission
  • This left-hand drive example dates from 01/09/1978 and was purchased by its first owner in San Francisco. Imported to the UK in 2001
  • In its original colour of Chiffon White. Seats re-trimmed in brown leather in May 2017
  • Bodywork excellent as a result of Californian climate (always garaged). Floors and trays rust free
  • Gearbox reconditioned and a new clutch in 2005. Engine fully rebuilt at 176,000 miles
  • Retro dash radio with Bluetooth connectivity. Over £7,500 spent since 2019
