Porsche 911 2.4T LHD

Vehicle Description

The Slate Grey Porsche 911 2.4 formerly owned by the ‘King of Cool’ Steve McQueen and featured in his film ‘Le Mans’ recently sold for $1,375,000 (£832,800) at an auction in Monterey, California – a new world record for a 911 sold at auction.

Perhaps what you might expect for a truly one-off 911. Here at Specialist Cars, we are offering you the chance to own the next best thing - a fully ‘nut and bolt’ restored homage to the original - a
1972 Porsche 911 2.4T, fully restored by the highly-respected Nick Moss at Early 911.
