Originally supplied new via Porsche Cars Pacific Inc in March of 1969.
Current owner purchased the car via our good friends at Pendine a few years ago, and at that point a previous owner, David Dennet of DSD Motorwerks in Essex, had already carried out extensive work on the car. When Dennet acquired the Porsche, it had been raced regularly for some years, but he chose to rebuild it to his own specification. He ordered engine components from his preferred supplier in Reno, USA, and built the engine in-house. With JE pistons, an S-spec cam and various other modifications, the engine produced a strong 180BHP on the rolling road.
He also fitted a full roll cage, two race seats with harnesses, and a Limited Slip Differential to improve traction. The car ran on FUCHS wheels with new Pirelli Cinturatos, and he installed a WEVO gearshift system to ensure precise changes, along with a fully plumbed-in extinguisher system. Dennet went on to race the Porsche himself, including at Spa, proving it to be a fast and reliable racing car under his ownership.
Since then, this car has been fully revised to be a reliable, comfortable and very well equipped road rally car. Please see bellow for the works of which have been carried out in order to achieve this:
