1972 Porsche 911 T 'Oil klappe'

1972 Porsche 911T 2.4 ‘Oil klappe’

Complete nut & bolt restoration, Rare side oil filler, Matching numbers, RHD

An exceptional, fully restored example of a rare right hand drive 1972 Porsche 911T, finished in its original Sepia Brown colour and factory correct tan interior with corduroy centres. This stunning 911 has undergone a complete nut and bolt restoration over the past four years, returning it to superb condition and retaining its original specification.

The 1972 model year is unique in Porsche history, featuring the one year only external oil filler door. This external flap was meant to simplify oil top ups, but it was discontinued after 1972 because many owners mistakenly filled the oil tank with fuel!

The restoration included a complete strip down to bare metal, rust repairs professionally carried out and then full repaint in the original Sepia Brown. Every mechanical and cosmetic component was either replaced, restored, or refinished to factory specification. The original 2.4 litre flat-six engine has been fully rebuilt, retaining its matching numbers, and paired with the correct 5 speed manual gearbox. The car also benefits from all new suspension components, refurbished brakes with new discs and pads, and with all other original parts either re-plated, powder-coated, or refinished back to the original standards.

Amazingly all the glass has survived and is original from 1972, and the original 15″ Fuchs alloy wheels have been professionally refurbished and fitted with premium period correct Pirelli Cinturato tyres. Inside, the cabin has been fully re trimmed, recreating the cars authentic early 1970s feel. The result is a car that not only looks factory fresh but drives beautifully, with tight, precise handling, smooth power delivery, and a wonderfully mechanical feel throughout. It is presented today in top condition, ready to show, drive, or would be a great addition to any Porsche collection.

Supplied with a detailed photographic record of the restoration, file of invoices documenting its recent work, 2 keys and correct Porsche tool kit.

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored 72 911T, finished in a wonderful period colour.
