A lot of engine work had been completed by its previous owner, however when the German owner took delivery in 2015 the engine wasn’t running correctly and had a misfire. Once the car reached the UK it was transported to Club Autosport in Birmingham where the engine and transmission were removed for closer inspection, Cam timing was found to be out and compression was too high. After crack testing the cams a hairline fracture was found, so new genuine Carrera cams and new valves were fitted. All parts were vapour blasted and cleaned, the distributor was rebuilt, The weber carburettors were placed in a sonic bath and rebuilt using a genuine weber kit. A total of 60 hours of labour went into rebuilding and setting up, which was then followed by an initial rolling road tune up to 3000 rpm.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

A set of 15” x 7 & 8’ Maxilite Fuchs wheels with anodized finish A set of brand new factory correct Pirelli Cinturato CN 36 185 & 215 tyres were fitted, the car now holds the road brilliantly.

RS Spec suspension, anti roll bar, brakes and torsion bars are fitted including Carrera front brakes, SC rears, HD torsion bars which give the car the correct stance and provide fantastic response on the move.

HISTORY FILE
Built in 1969 this RS Evocation started life as a 911T, designated for the US market. The car was sold by a main dealer in US and resided in the US until it was re-imported to Germany in 2015 where it remained unregistered until exported to the UK and subsequently registered in the UK in August 2020. Seen as the perfect base on which to build an RS Evocation. From this point onward invoices outline a meticulous process of sourcing, upgrading and maintaining this exceptional 911, with the paper trail alone mounting to £25+ k worth of work.

Specialists Club Autosport  have been responsible for a large amount of the work since its arrival in the UK, which included the RS bodywork and converting the car. Rebuilding the genuine 2.7 engine was entrusted to Mark Chilton of Club Autosport. Once run in the car will return to BH Performance for a full session on the rollers and is expected to make circa 225Bhp.
