The Classic Porsche 911T (1971-1973)
The first ever iconic Porsche 911 was released in 1964, and this model before you is the 3rd evolution of this classic motor-vehicle. The 911T pictured, was released as part of the E&F Series 911's which ran from 1971 to 1973.
The "T" as pictured here was the entry level model, and there were also midrange (E) and top of the line (S) models. All were blessed with the brand new 2.4 litre boxer engine which produced between 130hp & 190hp depending on the spec. Interesting to note is that the 911t relied on a traditional carburetor set-up for fuel delivery in all markets except for the US, where it received fuel injection. This added up to an extra 10hp to the power. This was the final year that carburetors were fitted to 911's, which adds to the unique collectable qualities of this model. All 911T's received a 5 speed manual box unless they were special order. Efforts were also made to improve the handling of this model to attempt to fix the over-steer that the precious models were prone to due to weight distribution.
A decent condition 911T will set you back about US$100,000. But for this you are getting a particularly beautiful and very collectable piece of motoring history. This one I have photographed belongs to the "Thailand Classic Car Club", and has been resigned to show duties. It is in immaculate original condition. Everything about this particular vehicle just screams painstaking attention to detail. It simply is stunning.
A THING OF BEAUTY
STUNNING REAR END
SIMPLY PERFECT

I love Japanese cars. Particularly Nissan GTR, Honda NSX & Toyota Supra. Follow me and you will see some stories I promise. Here is a steemit post I made about one of my former cars I owned.
I Imported an Ex-Tokyo Auto Salon Car to Australia.
That is without a doubt a beautiful car.
Have you seen the rebuilt/re-imagined Porsche's that Magnus Walker builds in L.A.?
