Hi guys, thought I would post here as I have just listed on Carsales.com.au and I know that someone will post at some point.
Here is the full details on the car. More than happy to chat to anyone about it.
Chassis number: 9110101489
Production number: 1003761
Engine number: 6102804 original (6192248 engine that is in the car now)
Original Colour: 1818 Albert Blue (now Silver)
Understated beauty. Everyday useability. Breathtaking performance. Killer good looks.
The ultimate original RHD early 911 with sleek looks, short stroke 2670cc twin plug engine.
Up for ownership is this UK delivered 1970 Porsche 911 T, sold with the original matching number motor (removed from car and in need of a refresh).
9110101489 was originally optioned with dark blue (Albert Blue code 1818) with lots of great options including Electric Windows and ‘S’ package (this included gauges, 14 inch wheels etc).
This 911T was imported into Australia sometime early in its life. Around 2006 using genuine parts and no expense, the T morphed into an RS replica and painted silver. The car was built specifically as a tarmac rally car (eg Targa Tasmania), and as such left no stone unturned in searching for performance, and most importantly reliability and driveability. The mechanical invoices during the build and ongoing maintenance on this car are eye watering, with nothing but the best put into the mechanical and suspension set up.
I have known the previous owner and the car for many years, so I knew of its history and provenance, including the ‘no money spared’ approach to all things important with early 911s. Knowing the history of the car, and the amount of money spent on the mechanicals, I knew it was the perfect foundation for me to build my own fun road Porsche, as my early race car was no longer fit for road use. In early 2014 and I purchased with the intent to return it to road more going specifications with some understated flair.
Body
First step was to return the body to look more standard (a ‘sleeper’ some may say). The rear ducktail was been removed, and replaced with a genuine metal flat deck lid. The front RS bumper was replaced by a fibreglass standard bumper, and the car has benefited from a full respray by a reputable Porsche repairer Chequered Flag Restorations at a cost of close to $10,000. Finally I installed new dark grey Porsche script on the side, matched with dark grey Porsche stripe on the front and rear bumpers. Upon removing the RS bumper I had to relocate the front oil cooler. Harrison RRR fitted all genuine parts, lowered the car, and gave the car a good once over.
Electrical
Given the car had been used in tarmac rally, I had Prestige Auto Wiring return the wiring to original (where possible) and also check the entire car’s wiring for any potential hidden electrical gremlins.
Wheels
The 911 T came with and continues to wear 7 and 8 inch Minilite wheels with dark centres and polished lips. New tyres were required and as such I have just purchased 4 brand new tyres all round.
Interior
Inside the car I have totally removed the rally inspired interior and replaced it with genuine German Haargen carpets fitted by Gary Blackman Trimming. I also installed two new Recaro type seats. The rear half roll cage has been retained (the front half is available to the purchaser if they want it). New seat belts have been installed, and the roll cage allows for race harnesses to be fitted easily should you wish to have that extra racer look, or do a competitive track day.
Engine and Gearbox
This 911T is being sold with two engines. The original matching number engine (removed from the car and in need of a refresh). The motor installed is where this car sets itself apart from other early 911. It is a shame it is hidden beneath the engine lid! Ask any early 911 crazed enthusiast as to what their ultimate early 911 motor would be, and generally they all unanimously say “short stroke screamer”. The engine case in this 911 is from a 1969T (the lightest case produced). The case was shuffle pinned, crack tested, and mated to custom Mahle 2.9 litre barrels and pistons and Carrillo rods. Genuine 2.8 RSR heads (these are impossible to find) and a counter balanced 911S short stroke crank shaft with Twin plug ignition and genuine 46 (yes 46 not 40) Weber carbs, you can see where this is going!
The gearbox is a 915 (originally delivered with a 901 dogleg gearbox) and also built with slightly shorter gear ratios, a Modena LSD and stronger race type clutch and lightweight fly wheel.
The exhaust is a custom exhaust produced locally here in Melbourne and adorns many early Porsche race and rally cars across Australia. They are lightweight, and produce a wonderful exhaust note, as well as improve overall performance of the engine for both horsepower and torque.
In short, this 911 T has the ultimate SHORT STROKE 911 engine build. There is a great article about short stroke motors, and this motor is the biggest you can get (2670cc) without using the larger 3.0 turbo case.

Other
The 911 retains some of the nice upgraded components including a brake bias proportioning valve (located under the dash) and more modern Porsche Boxster front brakes. These dramatically improve braking performance. Finishing touches included installing a new Nardi steering wheel to finish off the ‘understated’ look.
Drive it daily, drive it hard, take it to an occasional track day, you choose. You will not be disappointed. The first to see and drive this great little car, I have no doubt, will buy it.
Price is $124k.
