    Interesting Euro 1971 911S

    So I did some downsizing and would like to eventually do a 70-71 style ST build, was thinking of using a 78-83SC but a LWB shell would be of interest as well. I just don't want to mess up a numbers matching or unique factory spec car. I have been keeping an eye out for a candidate and when this 71S coupe came up for sale close by I had to have a look. Sounded ideal as it wasn't a matching numbers car and needed exterior body panels anyhow. When I looked at the car it was obviously a euro car and the colour tag showed it wasn't delivered in a standard colour from new. Seemed like a cool car from new but I still felt it could be a good starting point.

    I got the car home and emailed davep on here for a vin report. That's when things got more interesting, turns out it was a factory direct sale with a possible special engine, along with a decent string of options. Curious on the colour I took the door card off and with some thinner was able to get a good showing of the original paint(the lighter orange areas in the photos are through the clear coat) A very nice metallic orange colour, would have looked great when new with the pepita seats. Have yet to learn what option M480 is on it and hoping to track down some previous owners but I am feeling like it might make more sense to restore this to its very cool factory spec. I had a search through some factory photos and didn't come across it, should stick out a bit in the custom colour with rear wiper and no front bumperettes. Has anyone come across info on this car before or perhaps some factory photos? Vin is 9111300404. It's unfortunate that it was updated and painted red but well worth saving, as an S or ST build. Currently has a 2.7 in it, and was converted to a sportomatic... What are your thoughts?
