The Porsche 911 needs no introduction to sports car fans, continuous development over the last 60 years has ensured it remains one of the most desirable cars for an enthusiast to own, and with 'hot off the press' editions like the new 911ST, the company makes sure the deep and illustrious history of the model remains. However, the original 911ST also has an interesting history, probably more so due to its genuine competition linage.
During the era of early 911 production, Porsche were continuously developing their road cars for competition, and with great success. Keen to see customers using their cars in the same manner, they created a series of performance accessories that could be ordered directly from the factory to upgrade a car either during or after production. In 1969, a race-oriented version of the 911 was launched known internally as the ST, initially based on the 911T with a 2.3-litre engine, a 2.5-litre version would follow based on the 911S. Built to compete in 'Group 4' FIA events, famously a version driven by Kremer and Loop finished an incredible seventh overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970. One year later, Steve McQueen launched the film Le Mans, with the opening sequence driving his Slate Grey 911S to the circuit.
Fast forward five decades and the modified Porsche scene looks very different today, Singer is possibly the most prolific with its reimagined ST style wrapped around a later 964 platform, however there is also a resurgence of enhancing original cars to a period upgraded specification, which brings us neatly to this stunning Porsche 911 'ST', finished in the same hue of slate grey as the famous McQueen car.
The 'ST' conversion was carried out on an original 1971 right-hand drive 911T, by renowned Porsche specialists, Rennsport, in 2022/23, using period correct steel front and rear arches from Germany. The rebuilt engine is a 1978 3-litre with PMO 46mm carburettors, stainless steel heat exchangers and an RSR style exhaust. A dyno readout confirms it produces 211bhp, approximately 100bhp more than the original 911T. The gearbox is a fully rebuilt 915 unit with a Sachs Sport clutch. Front and rear bumpers are composite incorporating a Porsche Trombone oil cooler and pipes. The wheels are cast forged Braid Fuchs to an RSR finish with 15 x 8 fronts and 15 x 9 rears on Pirelli P7 tyres. The brakes are 930 Turbo with Black Hawk pads. The interior is very much lightweight style with period correct bucket seats and a period half roll cage and as recently as August 2025, a King PPF Paint Protection Film has been applied by Re-Detail Ltd.
Residing on Guernsey for the last two years this 911 has been maintained to very high level. The history file is very impressive listing previous owners, a Porsche Letter of Authenticity, a plethora of invoices which reads like a who’s who in Porsche circles and a photographic record of its transformation to a stunning all steel ST of today. Approximately £232,000 has been invested into this car, making it spectacular value at today's estimate.
