1981 Porsche 911SC Backdate

For the Porsche enthusiast seeking a blend of timeless vintage style and modern performance, this 1982 Porsche 911 SC (ZV 26410) offers a rare opportunity. Meticulously backdated to capture the iconic silhouette of an earlier 911, the car features a comprehensively re-engineered powerhouse underneath. It is an exceptionally well-sorted classic, beautifully restored and ready for its next custodian to enjoy. This 911 SC benefits from a substantial investment in its mechanical health, ensuring both longevity and refined performance. In 2022, UK Porsche specialists Ninemeister completed a full top-and-bottom-end engine rebuild exceeding £45,000, upgrading it with 964 camshafts, a Motec M84 ECU, and an Individual Throttle Body (ITB) system. This was complemented in 2025 by a €17,455 gearbox rebuild by DOB Sportscars, featuring optimized first and second gear ratios that deliver a highly precise, reliable drivetrain. Visually, the car presents beautifully following an aesthetic restoration by Bodytech between 2019 and 2021. Stripped to bare metal, it underwent a classic backdate conversion with a replacement front panel to accommodate a long bonnet, early-style wings, and vintage bumpers. The car features a clean black finish inside and out, with structural sills, slam panels, and kidney dishes replaced as needed. Protected by a 2-pack underbody sealer, the exterior is finished with fresh rubber seals and hand-refurbished wheels. Inside, the cabin offers a refreshed environment that respects its heritage while adding subtle modern upgrades. The cockpit features a new carpet set, two updated front seats, and fresh door cards. A discreet HiFi head unit is supported by modernized chassis wiring and new fuse boards. The driver's interface is completed by a premium Stomski Racing "917 Edition" shifter and an overhauled linkage, providing a beautifully precise, tactile gear change. On the road, this Porsche delivers an incredibly rewarding and connected driving experience. The combination of the 964 cams and individual throttle bodies offers a crisp, immediate throttle response and a classic air-cooled sound. Paired with the smooth gear changes of the rebuilt gearbox and the balanced stopping power of upgraded 3.2 Carrera front brakes, the car handles with composure and precision. It possesses the tight, reassuring feel of a completely sorted machine that is a true pleasure to drive.
