Last Ever RHD 1973 Porsche 911 RS 2.7 Found In Trinidad, Full Restoration To Follow

The last right-hand drive example of the legendary 1973 Porsche 911 RS 2.7 was discovered in Trinidad and brought in the UK for a full restoration.

The massive task will be undertaken by leading independent Porsche specialist Autofarm, which found a new owner for this unique sports car already.

Nicknamed the ‘Trinidad RS’, the classic Porsche comes with a remarkable history that includes unusual modifications, the tragic murder of one of its owners and 40 years of Caribbean heat and sun.

Porsche built just 1,590 examples of the RS 2.7 and out of those, only 16 of them were finished in ‘Royal Purple’. 7 of those Royal Purple cars were right-hand drive and only one of them didn’t feature the iconic ducktail, which is the car you see here.

Chassis No. 1,576 of the 1,590 is an extremely rare RS 2.7 which also happens to be the last right-hand drive example every produced. The car was originally sold in the UK in 1973 before getting transported to Trinidad.

Over the years, this Porsche had tinted windows, a rear wing, a garish paint job and non-standard seats and steering wheel fitted to it, features that are certainly unusual to find on a car of such significance. Underneath all this though, the car is described by Autofarm as a diamond in the rough.

The renowned Porsche specialist is planning to document the restoration process in a series of behind the scenes videos, so everyone can watch this beautiful sports car return back to its original condition.
