The example offered here, chassis 911.360.1403, is one of 1,308 factory M472 Touring models, originally finished in Light Ivory as verified by the Porsche Production Specifications. It was delivered new to Germany, where it remained for many years before it was subsequently restored and converted to M471 "Lightweight" specifications by the highly regarded Porsche racing and restoration specialist David Morse of Morspeed in California. Morse was no stranger to racing Porsches, having owned and restored numerous highly significant historic machines, including the Sunoco 917/30 Can-Am, a Rothmans 956, and others. It is understood that Morse put the full depth of his knowledge into this project, sourcing original factory lightweight parts wherever possible, ensuring an authentic conversion. As offered, this Carrera wears a full array of proper M471 parts, including GRP bumpers, a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, Recaro shell-type racing seats with headrests, and RS Sport door cards, while the cabin is appropriately stripped-out for the ultimate in bare-bones, unfiltered Porsche driving joy.
When restored by Morspeed, the car was finished in Grand Prix white with red accents but has since been refinished to a high standard in the fabulous factory-offered shade of Tangerine with black negative Carrera stripes and silver-finish Fuchs wheels. Power comes via a proper 2.7-liter air-cooled flat-six with Bosch MFI. The stamped engine serial number falls within the range of factory RS 2.7 production. With at least 210bhp on tap in the stiffened and featherweight body, few motoring experiences compare to the seat-of-the-pants thrill of burying the throttle in the Carrera RS.
