Gemini Blue, RS-bred flat-six, and Bosch MFI magic — this ’74 Carrera 2.7 is lightweight, raw, and pure air-cooled Porsche perfection.

Highlights

  • Matching-numbers engine and chassis
  • RS-derived 2.7L air-cooled flat-6
  • Bosch mechanical fuel injection
  • 1 of 1,036 Euro-market cars for 1974
  • Correct Gemini Blue finish and Fuchs wheels
  • Fully restored to original spec

Overview

SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI, showing 22,836 km (14,190 miles) on the odometer at the time of cataloging, though true mileage is unknown. This right-hand-drive European-market example is one of just 1,036 produced for 1974 and represents a markedly different machine from the CIS-equipped Carreras sold in North America. Instead, it features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and the revered RS-derived flat-6.

Presented in its correct Gemini Blue finish following a comprehensive glass-out repaint, this Carrera 2.7 has been fully restored back to factory specification. Period-correct Fuchs wheels, black Carrera script, flared rear arches, and bright trim restore the car’s visual identity. Though not originally fitted with a ducktail, the car is currently equipped as such — a signature feature of the RS lineage.

The cabin remains true to the model’s original character, trimmed in Midnight Blue with VDO instrumentation, the original Recaro manually-adjustable bucket seats, and a simple driver-oriented layout. With its matching-numbers configuration, RS-spec mechanicals, and careful restoration history, this Carrera embodies the lightweight, mechanically direct driving experience that defines Porsche’s most revered air-cooled machines.

Service History

According to the seller, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt by Autohaus Hamilton prior to 2015, with confirmation based on inspection of available documentation and photographs. While original invoices are no longer available, the work is said to have been acknowledged by the servicing facility.

The odometer presently displays 22,836 km, though maintenance records indicate the car surpassed 100,000 km in 2008. True mileage is therefore believed to be approximately 122,846 km.

Condition & Reports

The seller states the car retains matching engine and chassis numbers and has been fully restored to original specification aside from a non-original radio. The restoration included a full glass-out repaint to correct Gemini Blue, replacement of non-original wheels with period-correct examples, and removal of a previously installed whale tail.

The car is described as rust-free, having resided in Australia since the early 1990s. It is presented in concours-level condition according to the seller.

Summary

This 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 MFI represents one of the most historically significant and mechanically engaging road cars of the air-cooled era. As a European-market example equipped with the RS-derived MFI engine, it delivers performance and character distinct from the CIS variants.

With matching-numbers mechanicals, restoration to factory specification, and a documented history spanning Ireland and Australia, this Carrera offers collectors an authentic and highly desirable expression of Porsche’s flagship mid-1970s performance model — a machine defined by lightweight construction, analog engagement, and enduring motorsport pedigree.

 

For bidders/buyers: We strive to provide clear and accurate auction listings, but the information should not be considered a complete assessment of any vehicle for sale. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to view vehicles in person, arrange independent inspections, and conduct their own due diligence to ensure the vehicle meets their requirements.

Descriptions, commentary, or observations are offered in good faith and represent general, non-expert impressions only. We do not verify or guarantee vehicle condition, mileage, or history, and this information should not be interpreted as a professional inspection or evaluation. Vehicles are not subjected to formal inspections unless explicitly stated. 

Vehicle videos are typically recorded with standard equipment, so audio quality may vary, and engine or exhaust sounds may differ from how they are perceived in person.

All vehicles are sold on a strictly “as-is, where-is” basis. No warranties apply, and bidders must satisfy themselves as to a vehicle’s condition and suitability prior to bidding. Bidders should note that SBX Cars provides information in good faith but cannot verify every detail of the vehicles; the responsibility for assessing condition and suitability rests with the buyer.  For more details, please refer to our FAQs.

As part of the consignment process, SBX Cars requests a range of information from the seller pertaining to the subject of their offering. The auction listing description therefore is, to the best of the seller's knowledge, accurate and not misleading. However, it is the responsibility of a potential buyer to satisfy themself as to the accuracy of the auction listing description. This includes conducting an in-person inspection, which may be arranged between the buyer and seller, as well as verifying the condition, authenticity, value, and title before committing to bid or buy.
