Inspired by an article in the marque publication 'Excellence' in 2008 entitled 'The one, the only, the famous 911 S-T', a Porsche enthusiast commissioned specialists Autofarm to recreate a duplicate of an exceptionally rare original. Built essentially for racing, the lightweight 911 S-T pre-dated the Carrera RS and was produced in limited numbers during 1970/71 only. These cars enjoyed considerable success in endurance classics such as the Daytona 6 Hours, Sebring 12 Hours, Nürburgring 1000 km and the Targa Florio.

Rather than source a bodyshell from the 'pre-galvanised' era, which may have required much structural renovation after more than 40 years, a much more corrosion resistant 1987 Carrera 3.2 911 donor car with the necessary sunshine roof was employed for the project.

The bodywork was totally rebuilt to the Group IV racing shape of 911s campaigned by the factory during the early 1970s, with all steel panels, new original equipment front wings and bonnet, period-correct closing panels and catches, plus ST-style glassfibre front and rear bumper assemblies. Having been taken back to bare metal, the shell was then repainted in '2626 Conda Green', a period Porsche colour. All exterior trim items were refinished or replaced in the bright anodised finish of earlier 911s, and period-style door mirrors used. The wheels fitted were also as per the original S-T, being 8J x 15 Fuchs alloys at the front and 9J x 15 Minilites at the rear.
The Heigo half roll-cage protected interior was fully refurbished in M471 Lightweight style black trim, though with high quality carpet and new headlining also in black.

Mechanically, the whole car and ancillaries were comprehensively overhauled and serviced with oil lines, flywheel and clutch, brake discs, alternator, horns and heater controls all renewed. New Bilstein shock absorbers and stainless steel Sport silencers were specified as were a full quartet of period Pallas sport lamps and new up-rated headlights. Security was enhanced by a Category 1 Toad alarm/immobiliser with remote locking.

More recently, the car has been upgraded with replica seats, steering wheel and gearlever knob; Porsche 'Classic' radio and satellite navigation with Bluetoooth connectivity; modern radial tyres; and an RS front spoiler for improved stability. Other works include fitting a new fuel tank; re-chroming the Pallas lamps' rims; and improved corrosion protection for the rear wheelarches plus a repaint.

While evoking the look of an early 1970s 911 factory Group IV race car, this most convincing looking S-T recreation benefits from the more modern technology of the late 1980s 3.2 Carreras with their greater practicability and dependability for daily driving. Offered with restoration invoices, current MoT/tax and Swansea V5C, this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a seriously good looking but very useable 911 with the option of upgrading the existing power unit in the future.
