The most

With a 911, you know what to expect. That's the genius of it. You can be sure of its ability to make you smile, whatever the situation. The 'G body' era began with the 1974 model year, marking the first significant revision of the 911's design. The many changes were primarily made to meet the increasingly stringent safety requirements in the USA - and it was across the Atlantic that this G-series 911 was destined in 1974.

Now established in France, this Carrera 2.7 is a ready-to-use example of the marque. It benefits from notable recent work, including an interior refurbishment, and comes with a collection of spares that the vendor values at €1,200. As the photographs show, the car bears some signs of its fifty years on the road, so you won't be afraid to drive it as Porsche originally intended. Resplendent in the stunning Gemini Metallic Blue, the charms of this Porsche are absolutely irresistible.
