This splendidly-presented righthand drive SC was delivered new to its first owner by the South African Porsche dealer LSM. Following importation to the UK some years later it was re-coloured from Grand Prix White to Yellow and acquired wider Turbo-style wings and 'Whaletail' spoiler; as befitted the trend of the era. In more recent times it has undergone a protracted but notably thorough restoration by Cole & Henighan of Letchworth, Herts, during which the wider wings were retained to create a 'Supersport' evocation but the Porsche returned to its original colour. The extensive refurbishment included many replacement parts (mostly 'New Old Stock'), fresh Fuchs-pattern alloy wheels and tyres, plus a fully rejuvenated interior courtesy of A1 Bespoke Interiors of Bedfordshire. The vendor now rates the Porsche's bodywork, paintwork and leather-trimmed interior as 'fully restored', the 3-litre flat-six engine as 'very good', and the manual five-speed transmission as being 'without problems'.
