Description The Porsche 935 was Introduced in 1976 as the factory racing version of the Porsche 911 turbo prepared for FIA-Group 5 rules, it was an evolution of the Porsche Carrera RSR 2.1 turbo prototype, the second place overall finisher in the 1974 24 Hours of Le Mans. Beginning with the 1977 season, Porsche offered the 935 to customers entering the World Championship for Makes, in the IMSA GT Championship and in the German Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft (DRM). The 935 went on to win the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans overall, and other major endurance races, including Sebring, Daytona, and the 1000 km Nürburgring. Of the 370 races it was entered, it won 123. Usually, no other make could challenge the Porsche 935, due to the non-availability of customer models. Each race, at the time, typically featured at least five 935s. Originally delivered to Ratingen, Germany in 1978 the 911 SC found itself in the US for some 22 years before more recently returning to the UK in 2016. This exceptionally presented 911 has had a no expense spared restoration completed during the current vendors ownership. The build included many upgrades both mechanically and bodily. An extensive and professional restoration began in 2017 including a bare metal repaint in Porsche grand prix white with meticulous attention to sourcing and applying the correct 70s martini racing livery. 70s style gold BBS wheels were also sourced and fitted to the car as well as a rebuilt 911 engine which was installed in 2016 and has covered just 1,000 miles since. Offered with a Mot until February this unique one-off example comes complete with a ‘935’ registration number as well as a Porsche certificate of authenticity, the original tool kit, jack, Porsche booklet with manual, spare key and service book with recent history. A memory stick showing all stages of the build is included as well as bills and invoices of the work that has been carried out. Offered in excellent all-round condition the 935 tribute represents a wonderful opportunity to own a unique example of one of the marquees most recognised Le Mans racing cars.
